Blue Bird

Tonight while Isabel was getting ready for bed and I was putting laundry away in her room. She told me she had a surprise for me…

I was thinking it was something made from paper since she makes so many things from paper. But I was wrong, it’s not paper.

She said at first she thought about using pink but decided against it because I don’t like pink. So she used blue instead.

I love it!

The little bird is so cute.
Isabel told me she worked really hard at trying to get the bird just so.

Second Grade: Day 130

Today is Monday and it’s the last day of March! We have had the most rainfall for the month, ever! We ended the month with almost 10 inches of rainfall! It’s been a soggy one!

We are almost finished with our school year, we have 2 1/2 months left. This Thursday will mark the end of third quarter.

Isabel said they didn’t have music class with Mr. G today. They did art instead. They will finish their art tomorrow. They are making castle pictures.

Teacher Mrs. A was at a teacher conference, so the class had a substitute. Isabel said she didn’t know if Teacher Mrs. A would be back tomorrow or not.

The Bible verse for this week is…

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”
– Ephesians 6:10-11

S.a.T. (show and tell) this week is free choice…

Isabel took her rubber band plane, she has 2 but only took 1 to share with the class.
After school she said, she didn’t get to share with class today. The substitute didn’t want the kids to share. So she’ll take her plane again tomorrow and maybe get to share it then.

This week in class they will be learning the lowercase cursivey“, “x” and “v“.
