It’s Marvelous Monday!
This morning there was ice on the windshield of the spork as we headed to school, luckily I didn’t have to scrap it off. The temperature reading stated it was 37 degrees out.
Marvelous Monday means All-School Open. The Monday morning assembly for announcements and other fun stuff for the week. Isabel was picked to be the 3 R’s helper for next week’s ASO. She will have the honor of drawing the names of those who will get a “Shining R“.
This week begins 8 1/2 weeks of school before getting out for the summer. There will be one day off for Memorial Day in May. Isabel says she’s ready for summer to begin. She wants to get outside and play in her sandbox, catch frogs, plant a garden, and have lots of sunshine. I’m with her!
This weeks Bible verse is…
“The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom should I be afraid?” – Psalm 27:1b
Front: working with this week’s spelling words.
The spelling words for this week are…
find – kind – mind – mild – wild – child – day – play – sure
– son – near – cold – hurry – lesson – caught – favorite
Back: write the word that rhymes with the word that is underlined.
Isabel said they started working on their science lesson for the week. They are learning about “Friction“. When I asked her about it she said, “It’s like rubbing your two hands together and they start to get warm.” They will do the science experiments lesson later in the week when they have more time to do so.
Tomorrow is “Honor’s Chapel” for 3rd quarter and it’s also parent/student lunch. We can either have lunch at school with her or pick her up to eat lunch else where. I love when these lunch times are given!
After homework, Isabel got out her modeling clay and made me lots of food. She made steak, jelly rolls, cake, a sandwich, and more steak. She even made a fish and bird sculpture (should have gotten a picture!). She sat there for about an hour or so just making things. Later we all went out to work in the backyard. The weeds have really taken over this year. I think if we go out and work a few hours a day we’d have them out in no time. Looking forward to our garden again this year!
