First Grade: Day 60 – Spirit Award

It’s Marvelous Monday and it’s the first one in December!

  • There are only 9 days until the Christmas program,
  • 2 weeks until our SUPER CHRISTMAS SURPRISE arrives,
  • and 3 weeks until Christmas vacation!!

Marvelous Mondays are All-School Open.

This morning she had 4 Shining “R’s” on her desk when we arrived. She didn’t get her name draw for this week but that’s O.K. she did last week.

However, her whole class won the “Spirit Award“, for the first time this year! This award is given to the class that has the most student participation on “Spirit Friday’s” (which was last Friday!). The class gets to keep the banner in their room until the next “Spirit Friday“, which should be some time next month.

The “Spirit Award hanging in the classroom.
Isabel and her fellow classmates, are so excited about this!

The new Bible verse for this week is…

“For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” – John 3:16

The new bulletin board in class… “What can I give Jesus”.
There answers are written on each one of the 21 bells on the tree.

Not much school was completed today. Isabel mentioned that they had practice for their Christmas program next week.

She said they had 2 recesses today. 1 in the gym and the other outside. In the gym, she played with tools and wood building something (like Daddy!). Outside she said she ran around chasing some of the other kids, “… actually the whole class did,” she said.

Today was Maddie’s Birthday and they had chocolate cupcakes. She brought home the cupcake topper which was a “Tangled” ring.

Front: spelling words for the week.
Each week she is given 10 new words that she has to learn for a spelling test that is given on Friday.

Back: make compound words.
Take a word from the left and a word from the right to form a new word.

Front: phonics work with the /sh/ sound.

Back: more phonics work with the /sh/ sound.

Tomorrow is a BIG day for the whole class (today they did the recording but tomorrow it will air)…

They have been chosen (nominated) by our local Christian Radio Station to pay tribute to all military personal by saying the “Pledge of Allegiance” on the radio tomorrow!!!
After saying the “Pledge of Allegiance“,  they will sing a small song that they sing each day after doing the “Pledge”. So be sure to tune in and hear!
(I will record it and the recording today was filmed as well)
