Today is Wonderful Wednesday!

It’s music class with Mr. G and computer lab with Mrs. T.

Isabel said they were practicing for their spring program again today. She was singing the chorus to one of the songs but she couldn’t remember the whole thing.

During computer lab they did more AR testing.

Today is also the first day of spring! Woohoo! I am so excited! I’ve been looking forward to this day since winter began. I’m not a huge fan of winter, rain, ice, snow and cold. Bring on the sun!!

Classwork…

For some reason she wrote “ske” wrong.

Today is Terrific Tuesday and it’s Chapel and library.

I had a meeting after school today and didn’t get a whole lot of information about her school day.

Chapel was given by Pastor Josh (Isabel didn’t catch were he was from). Isabel said he spoke on the school theme for this year Matthew 12:33-36 and gave great lessons.

Lesson 1: God wants to be your priority! You will begin to be what you think and what you hear. If you read, think and talk about God, He will be your everything!
Lesson 2: Practice makes perfect. Store scripture in your heart! The greatest commandment is to love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.” Matthew 12:30-31

It’s Marvelous Monday!

Which means All-School Open. The Monday morning assembly for announcements and other fun stuff for the week. Today they talked about the 6th grade bake sale coming up next Friday. The funds raised from the bake sale will help get students to the spring 6th grade camp next month. So bring your change and enjoy some baked goods or two!

This week’s Bible verse…

“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.” II Corinthians 5:17a

Isabel didn’t mention anything about school. She was just disappointed that she wasn’t going to “after-school” care. She was looking forward to it but that’s tomorrow because I have a meeting.

Today was a sunny day, so they did get to play outside on the playground and didn’t have to play in the gym.

This Friday the class is having their second celebration for filling their marble jar.

The class took a vote a week ago and decided on a “root beer float” party!
I’m sure they are all looking forward to it because that is all Isabel can talk about!

No school due to a teacher in-service day.

Today is Thankful Thursday and it’s P.E. with Mrs. S.

For P.E. they played crab soccer. Isabel said she didn’t like it at all! Her arms, legs, and back hurt. She also felt like she was getting “carpet burn” on her bottom!

They also had computer lab again (went yesterday) today and did more AR testing. Isabel didn’t say how many tests she took today.

This week she only missed 2 on all of them.
