First Grade: Day 15

Today is Terrific Tuesday which means it’s Chapel and library day!

When we arrived at class this morning Isabel had me wait around (which wasn’t long), so that I could “see” the new girl, Fiona. I guess it was important for me to “see” her!

Her adorable Chapel dress for today.
Who would have thunk orange and purple would go together! So cute!

Today was the first day of “Family Chapel”. Family Chapel is a mixed age group of kids, lead by a sixth grader. The sixth grader usually gives a lesson and then afterward they have a open discussion about the lesson that was given. Family Chapel is held in a classroom (not the church sanctuary like normal Chapel) and is held once a month or so. Isabel said she is the only first grader in her “family” Chapel group. When I asked her what they did together she said they colored a picture and talked about the theme verse for school this year.

“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

After lunch recess they headed to the library to exchange their books.
This week she got another Berenstain Bears’ book.
(I’ll have her read it to me tomorrow)

Following rules, problem solving.
This is the first time I’ve noticed writing backward letters.

Finished up the story of Noah today and then did a dot-to-dot.

Noah listened and obeyed God, even when everyone around him thought he was silly.

** HOMEWORK! **

After she finished her math homework, at the bottom of the page was a activity. I had her go around the house and gather 2 or 3 different items that were the same and bring them to the table. I then had her sort the items into groups depending how similarities of the items she brought.

1. 3 cans of green beans
2. 3 spoons
3. 2 wrapped candies
4. 2 plastic wheel pieces
5. 3 green beans
6. 2 soft lovable Lula’s

Above the items are sorted into shiny and non shiny items.

Above items are sorted by shape, round and not round, and Lula shaped!

Above items are sorted by weight, heavy items and lighter items.

She also sorted the items by what you eat or eat with and items that you don’t eat or eat with. She also sorted the items by what they were made of, metal and non metal, also soft and hard items, and lengthwise, short/tall, as well. She did a great job. Hopefully she learned that even though these items are very different, they actually are very similar. Great lesson.
