First Grade: Day 169

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

Today’s Chapel was lead by Pastor Shawn. Isabel said his message was about Daniel. Pastor Shawn also did a demonstration with 2 balls. Both balls were the same color, size and weight but something was different. When Pastor Shawn went to bounce both balls, 1 bounced really high and the other ball only bounced a little bit. Isabel couldn’t remember anymore about the lesson but I told her she did a great job! Normally she can’t remember much, it must be Pastor Shawn!

With school winding down in the next 2 weeks, I wanted to update the AR reading progress that the kids had a school. Their goal for the year was to read 50,000,000 words and the kids have read 30,775,922 words for the whole year! Way to go!
