Today is Monday and it’s the first day getting back to school and work after spring break. We had such a great time together away from home just relaxing.
It was a bit rough this morning trying to get Isabel out of bed but after she was awake it got better getting her to move. She keeps telling me she wished summer would get here faster. It’ll be here before she’s knows it and then she’ll wish for school to start again!
Today is also music class with Mr. G. Isabel says they have been working on their songs for their program at the end of the month. Looking forward to the performances, sounds great.
After school Isabel didn’t have much to tell me about her day. She mentioned she had started a “club” at recess to get kids to play with other kids. She has a “schedule” to play with different kids during recess. Maybe the “club” is just her way of getting to play with other kids.
This is another short week, there are optional parent/teacher conferences on Wednesday and Thursday. Both of those days are half days, school will be out at noon. Friday there is no school (for everyone) due to Good Friday.
The Bible verse for this week is…
“The angel said to the woman, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen just
as He said.” – Matthew 28:5-6a
S.a.T. (show and tell) this week is to share something special from spring break. Isabel said she was the only one that remembered to bring an S.a.T.
She took some of her seashells that she got from the beach when she went to the San Juan Islands.
This week the class will be learning the lowercase cursive “v” and “z“.

This week starts the first week of online spelling word homework. Just like her online math homework that is required for 30 minutes a day. This new spelling homework is also required for 30 minutes a day.
This website uses the words for the week (added to the site by Teacher Mrs. A) and turns those words into fun games and learning for students to learn their words each week. All the teachers at school are using the site now, so it will make learning spelling words more fun. Awesome!
