First Grade: Day 118

Today is Terrific Tuesday with Chapel and library.

I asked Isabel this morning to get something different during library today. Lately she’s been getting Disney books, which is fine but not a very good reading challenge.

She brought home “Ivy + Bean; What’s the Big Idea?”
This book finds the girls going to the science fair and they want to do something different.

Isabel forgot her homework folder, so I don’t have any pictures to post today.

Pastor Shawn was the speaker in Chapel today. He told the kids a funny/scary story about when he was a kid. He lit the garage floor on fire, no damage was done but his name is permanently burnt into the floor!

I did get some pictures from yesterdays A.S.O.!

First Grade: Day 117

It’s Marvelous Monday! Which means All-School Open.

It’s been a gray day around here. No rain, just lots of clouds.

At A.S.O., Isabel’s name was drawn for a “shining R” award! She was able to go to the office and pick a prize. This is the third time her name has been drawn for a “shining R“.

She picked a N.E.D. eraser.

Her prize!

Isabel told me on the way home from school that our 4th grade teacher at school, Mrs. M didn’t have such a great day today. Teacher Mrs. M had 7 students get sick in class! They all went home. I hope what they have stays at home with them and it’s NOT passed around to us! Yikes!!

Isabel finally got her Reading Award.
I was beginning to wonder when she was going to get it.

The school is getting closer to their goal of 50,000,000 words for the year. Collectively they have read a total of 20,958,972!

In The Kitchen: Pork Tenderloin And Zucchini

Tonight’s menu selection was another good one!

Pork Tenderloin, Zucchini Boats on the Grill and Brown Rice

2013-03-09 002_edited-1

The tenderloin was great and the zucchini boats were awesome!
Isabel even loved them!

We didn’t get to finish grilling the meat or the “boats” because we ran out of propane in the middle of cooking. Gino had to bring it all in and finish everything up on the stove and in the oven . No big deal, it was all good!

In The Kitchen: Meatloaf And Cauliflower

As we finish up our week on our meal plan we have another new (to us) menu item:

Turkey Quinoa Meatloaf and Rockin Good Smashed Cauliflower with Garlic

2013-03-08 003_edited-1

The turkey meatloaf was better then what we have had in the past with turkey meatloaf.

The smashed cauliflower was defiantly different! Not bad, just different. I thought it was great that they didn’t taste like cauliflower because I’m not a fan of cauliflower. So it’s a great what to eat it! Also,  I was in charge of the carrots (not in picture) and completely forgot about them, so that’s why there is a “gap” on my plate.

First Grade: Day 116

Today is Fantastic Friday!

It was a good week for everyone, better then the past 2 week’s for Isabel. Teacher Mrs. B said she was a lot better this week and we hope that it continues to be better for her as the year continues…

Today was mid-term and Isabel is doing very well academically, just needs to work on her interaction with others. So we are working on that!

This week the class has been talking about “Simple Machines“. All week she was asking to take a crowbar to school! Daddy couldn’t find his, so that didn’t happen, maybe next time.

Today they finished up the lesson…

The class also did an activity with 2 turtles too.
