Today is the first day of school and the first day of First Grade!
I can’t believe that summer is over, school has begun and we have a First Grader!!! I’m sad to see her grow up but have enjoyed her each and every day that I’ve been given with her. She is such a blessing to us! I pray that as she continues to grow she will continue to grow closer to God as we build her foundation for a her future.
Impact: Heart, Soul, Mind, and Strength.
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.” Mark 12:30
This year she’ll be going all day, no more half day’s for this kiddo. She’ll be packing a lunch or getting lunch from school. She’ll have 3 recesses (she really likes that!) and she’ll be learning all new things! I know she’s a bit nervous today but she knows some of the kids in her class previous from years at school and she’ll get to meet new ones as well. It’s going to be an exciting year ahead! God bless.
All packed and ready to go!
Same backpack as last year but she has a new purple lunch bag!
I love the lunch bag she picked out.
First day of FIRST GRADE!
When she grows up she wants to be a doctor (she’s been saying this for years!)
In her class, at her new desk.
There are 4 kids at each of the 6 tables but there are only 3 kids at her table (including Isabel). There are 19 kids in her class and 11 are girls.
Her new teacher is Teacher Mrs. B.
Her first day in class was a success! She enjoyed it!
Handwriting samples.
Front: the opening activity (seen in the photo above) was a maze.
Back: She finished the front and was able to do a little free time art!
I love the coloring she did on this! She took her time and colored very well. Great job!
Her first “shoe box” books.
These little books are intended to teach her how to read. However in Isabel’s case, she’s so beyond these books she calls them “baby books.” We did have a discussion about not calling the books “baby” because there are kids in her class that can NOT read or are just learning to read. So we will not be calling them “baby books” anymore out of respect for others.
