for dinner! Yup, we made meatloaf cupcakes for dinner and they were a huge hit with Isabel (and she doesn’t like meatloaf).
Isabel embellished her cupcake with chives, diced-dried onions, peas and a carrot topper!
Day: January 15, 2014
Second Grade: Day 82
Today is Wednesday and it’s Chapel, library day and FUN LUNCH!
Pastor C gave the Chapel message today on fear. He asked several teacher’s what they were afraid of. Teacher Mrs. B (from first grade) is afraid of snakes (along with Pastor C). Teacher Mrs. H (from fourth grade) is afraid of heights. Pastor C reminded us that even though we are afraid, we need to remember that God is with us and we don’t have to be afraid.
During library they learned the parts of a book.
Isabel said she made up this book about dogs.
For FUN LUNCH, she had cheese pizza, a chocolate chip bar and a crispy cereal bar. Wow! She didn’t eat all of it for lunch, after school she ate her chips and drank the juice.
Isabel didn’t mention anything else about her day, besides her science experiment (see below) they did in class.

The classroom science experiment: Sprout Science, they started last month and finished going over the results today.
The class learned about seeds and germination. The students were divided into 3 groups;
Isabel was in group 2. Her group put their seeds in a warm, dark place.
Group 1 put their seeds in a warm, sunny place and Group 3 placed their seeds in
(not so cool) refrigerator.
They groups checked on their seeds before Christmas break and then again today.
Isabel said her groups dish of seeds sprouted or germinated.
Group 1’s seeds germinated and began to grow.
Group 3’s seeds didn’t germinate at all.
So the class learned that seeds need light, soil and water to grow.

Tonight we went over the entire difficult word list. She got through the whole list (that’s 109 words!) with only missing 5 words. Awesome!
