Today (I have the wrong date on the easel!) is the first day of school in our area! While most of the country has been back to school for almost a month, we are just beginning!
Isabel has been going back and forth with how she feels about this first day of school. One day she’s excited and can’t wait for it to come and the next she doesn’t want it to come at all! I remember those days…
However this morning, she took off for her class without even a goodbye or backward glance! She’s growing up!
She helped me fill out her information board.
She loves the color purple.
She loves pizza.
She loves Lula (her little lambs she’s had since she was born!) and her new Blaster.
She does not like mushrooms or teriyaki!
Silly photo!
The school theme this year is: “SOAR on wings like eagles.” Isaiah 40:30,31
Her teacher is Mrs. A
Her best friend Ms. Mila, is not in her class this year, which gives her an opportunity to make new friends and there are a lot of new families at school this year!
After 2 years she doesn’t fit in the window anymore!
I had to get a picture anyway…
Now it’s off to her first day of school!
After school she was excited to tell me about her day…
There are at least 3 new (new to our school) girls in her class and today she met one of them and her name is Miss H. Miss H sits behind Isabel in class. Isabel also sits right next to Miss Maliyah. Miss Maliyah has been in Isabel’s kindergarten and first grade classes.
Even though her best friend Miss Mila, it not in her class, she is able to play with her at recess. Today during recess they played tug-of-war with Miss Maddie and the new Miss H.
Isabel got to use her brand new crayons, pencils, and new eraser on her first day! She still has a snack time, lunch, and 3 recesses each day like in first grade.
Each day she can earn a “good behavior” sticker at the end of the day. If she gets 5 stickers in a row, she can get a prize from the “treasure chest“. The “treasure chest” is loaded with pencils, stickers, sports cards, and other little goodies.
Each Friday, Teacher Mrs. A, will draw a girl name and a boy name, the names drawn get to take home either “Bella Bear” or “Buddy Bear” with journal. The kids can write an adventure story over the weekend that includes “Bella” or “Buddy” in the story. Great way to get the kids into early writing!
Goodie Bag that was given to the students from Teacher Mrs. A.
Chocolate kiss: Jesus love you.
Cotton ball: using kind words with each other in class makes us warm and fuzzy.
Sticker: stick together and stick up for each other in class.
Eraser: everyone makes mistakes and we learn from them.
Bookmark: lots of great reading ahead.
Smarties: learning and growing this year will make us into “smarties”.
Superstar ticket: tell your parents about this goodie bag and all the items inside. Bring the ticket back to class with your name and parents name to put in the Superstar container.
This is the paper that came with the goodie bag that helps explain the items in the bag.
