Month: June 2013

First Grade: Day 168

It’s Marvelous Monday!

Today marks 2 weeks and 2 days of school left in the school year. Isabel is looking forward to “sleeping in” she says. She officially gets out on the 18th at noon!

Marvelous Monday means All-School Open. A.S.O. is the Monday morning assembly for announcements and other fun stuff for the week.
Isabel got her “Rising Reader2“ award today in A.S.O. Which we thought was a bit odd since it was dated for over a month ago…

This award is given to the students as they do their AR testing.

She didn’t say much about class today. I do know she’s looking forward to tomorrow’s Chapel with Pastor Shawn and going to the zoo next week. I know I’m looking forward to the zoo trip as well, since it’ll be the first time I get to go on a field trip with her and her class. It’s going to be a great day. Now if it just doesn’t rain…

Sunday News

Today Isabel was feeling tired and worn down (growing spurt!) and didn’t want to spend time outside. So she rested on the sofa and made her own newspaper and coupon. Enjoy!

Hair Book

Isabel made this awesome hair book last week before we went on vacation but then she took it to school (to show her friends) before I could get photos of it. She brought it home yesterday after school so I grabbed it before it disappeared again. Enjoy!

Outside back cover: Cool Style Hair

She has “used” her “Hair Book, Cool Style Hair” book on me once. I told her to surprise me with a style of her choosing. She did a new style that wasn’t even added to the book. I think a sequel is in the making…
