First Grade: Day 4

It feels good to sit down and type a few thoughts since it’s been awhile since I’ve posted school news or otherwise, except for the first day, of course. I am still deciding on how I’m going to be doing the school year this year. Should I do a post for each day or should I just do a post on Friday, or should I post highlights a few times a week? Does anyone really take the time to read and look over her work? Does anyone care? Another thing if I’m working, I won’t be able to post (and day’s could go by before anything actually gets put up) and scanning every page of her work is very time consuming (I haven’t finished Kindergarten!). Gino suggested just taking photos of everything like I did for Preschool but that just adds to the 35,000+ photos that I already have! So I’m not sure…

I do enjoy doing it for her (for us), she may not understand or realize it now that I’m doing this for her. When she’s grown she may find this all silly and wonder what in the world was I thinking. Typing about our lives, even if I don’t do it every day or for every outing or vacation is fun and maybe down the road it will be meaningful to her (or us) that I took the time to do something like this. I don’t know… so for now.

Today, I took Gino’s recommendation and took photos. It was faster then having to scan each and every little thing.

More of the early reader books she is required to read. Today she brought home 4 of them. She reads them to me and she does enjoy the silly little stories.

Making good choices always gets you where you are meant to be in life.

Her handwriting is gorgeous!

Learning the school’s theme verse for this year, for this coming Friday (Sept. 14th) . I don’t know why she has to learn it by Friday but we are working on it and I’ve posted it in her room too.

“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 

We will do a 1/2 hour of homework after school each day. Teacher Mrs. B gives her work to do and then I have additional work from workbooks that I’ve purchased at the Goodwill and else where.
