First Grade: Day 76

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

Today’s Chapel was given by Pastor Shawn and he did something amazing!!

He balanced a super long (that was taller then he was) stick on his chin!!! Isabel said he placed the stick on the end on his chin and then balanced it there for a few seconds without his hands!! “It was so COOL“, she said! The lesson Pastor Shawn gave with his super cool trick was about keeping your eyes on Jesus. I loved hearing her tell me about Chapel today. Her face was so animated when she told the story… I wonder who she gets that from!?!

Chapel outfit (skirt & top with matching hair bow) were a Christmas gift
from Nana and Pompo! She looks so pretty in her new outfit. Thank you!!!

Other then that she didn’t have much else to say about her day other then all 3 recesses were in the gym today due to heavy rain outside. Bummer!

For library today she brought home…

This was one of my favorite stories when I was growing up!

Social Studies work.

Unscramble the spelling words.

Learning about proper nouns.

Finding symmetry in the 2 pieces of paper; horizontal and vertical.

Learning about Haiku poetry.
A Haiku of three phrases of 5, 7 and 5 respectively.

Today was day 2 for the week of Show and Tell for the class. Today 4 more classmates brought something to share that they got for Christmas.

Tyler brought an Iron Man® Lego® set.

Isabella brought a secret password pink notebook. You need to know a secret password to even open the notebook – one that you make up on your own! You press real buttons on the front to get it open! Then you can write in it or draw and when your done you close it and it’s locked so no one can see it. (Isabel told me that she needed have one of these!)

Ben brought something but Isabel couldn’t remember what it was.

Nancy brought a remote controlled Lalaloopsy® car for dolls and pets. (Isabel also told me she needed one of these as well!)

For homework today, Isabel had a lot of it. We worked on her spelling words for the week, did several pages of math homework and then did a test on the Bible verse for this week…

Since she now has to write out the Bible verses (with proper punctuation) each week.
I decided to test her on it to see how she could do.
She knows how to recite it but writing out “majestic” was tricky but she did a great job!
