Month: February 2014

Today is Tuesday and it’s music class with Mr. G. For music class she said they listened to “King of the Jungle” (might not be the real name). She came home singing “Bullfrogs and Butterflies”.

Since yesterday was no school; today is our Monday.

Isabel said all three recesses were in the gym today. For the first recess, she wrote a short story (didn’t bring it home). It was just something she did for fun and to pass the time. For second recess she played a card game with Ms. Marianna. For third recess, she played with a parachute with other kids in the gym. Sounds like fun!

The Bible verse for this week…

“Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;  for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture,
the flock under His care.” – Psalm 95:6-7

The Bible verse for this week will be tested by filling in missing words. We started working on learning it over the weekend since it is so large. Hopefully she can remember the order of the words and key words she tends to forget.

No school today due to end to President’s Day.

It was also Honor’s Chapel, Parent-student lunch and library. Such a busy day!

All parents were invited to Chapel. I attended and watched Isabel get awarded for attendance, academics, and an award for attending  the spelling bee. It was great to see and hear the achievements that all the kids received. Afterward, I hurried to her classroom to release her for lunch.

Our Parent-student lunch was a great one at home with Daddy.

After school we worked on homework and then went right into getting our Valentines completed for Friday.

Today was a 2-hour late start for school due to snow.

Isabel didn’t even notice that it snowed when she woke up! She was shocked and surprised.

She went in at 10 and I went in at 12:45 for work. It was a great way to start the weekend. My afternoon class is so relaxing.

Isabel said she spent the morning doing tests and then it was lunch. She didn’t mention anything about the afternoon.

Recess was outside and Isabel enjoyed playing in the snow. She got to have a snowball fight with her friends, while the older kids tried making a snow fort.
