Second Grade: Day 19

Our neighborhood experienced a TORNADO this morning! That’s totally unheard of in our neck of the woods but it really did happen! Several homes in our neighborhood have damage and an industrial park, close by, experienced damage to buildings. Crazy right!

What is even more amazing is that Isabel and I both witnessed the tornado going through our neighborhood! She was looking out our back window and called me over to see all this debris flying through the air. As I’m looking out the window, I’m thinking “that looks like a tornado!” and I’m also thinking “we don’t get tornado’s!”. With that I close the blinds and go back to making Isabel’s lunch. Nothing more was thought about it until Gino called me from work, to say a tornado went through our area! Crazy!

No one was hurt by the tornado and the only damage done was to buildings and a few cars. Thankful for that! God is in control!

Today is Monday and it’s music class.
(A.S.O. – All School Opening, has been moved to Tuesdays)

The Bible verse for this week…

” The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom (or what) shall I be afraid?”
– Psalms 27:1

This week’s Bible lesson is on God calling us to obey and serve Him.

This week’s S.a.T. (show and tell) theme is to share your favorite book or story about fall. Isabel was the only one to share today and she took her book (below) and during lunch Teacher Mrs. A read it to the class.

We love this awesome fall book!

Also this week, Isabel is the “paper person”. She gets to hand out everyone’s take home work at the end of the day and place it in their mailboxes. She said she enjoyed doing it today.

In Social Studies they will be working on Continents and Oceans.

Classwork…

All the work she brought home today was from last Friday. She didn’t have anything from today. So I’m thinking whatever was done today needed to be handed in and graded. We’ll see it tomorrow or later in the week.
