Month: June 2014

Today is Friday and there are only 7 days of school left!

When I picked Isabel up after school she was in a good mood. We went and had frozen yogurt together and then went shopping for a birthday gift for a party for Ms. Mila tomorrow. We had a fun afternoon.

She had a good day in school. They worked in pairs using flash cards for math. Her partner was Mr. Blake and he wasn’t interested in practicing math. She got frustrated with him as her partner.

Today was the day to hand in their Northwest Trek Mammal animal report. Isabel had her report completed by Tuesday and was thankful to finally hand it and be over with it. I’m hoping she gets a good grade, she worked so hard on it. She enjoys everything about school but hates writing. So it was a struggle to sit down and get words on the paper.

She didn’t mention anything else about her day other then they also worked on a few division problems as well.

Today is Thursday and it’s P.E. with Mrs. S.

Today was also my Preschool promotion day! We had 28 out of 31 kids in attendance. I’m so sad to see these kids go but the majority of them are returning in the fall!

Isabel and her class played dodge ball in the gym with Mrs. S.

Yesterday’s library day was today. It was the last day of library for the school year. While in the library, they talked about the book fair in July and August and they heard the story of “Princess Smartpants”. Isabel said the book was funny and she enjoyed it.

She didn’t have much else to say about her day and she went to piano lessons after school. She’s finished her first lesson book in piano and will be working through book two during the summer.

 

Today is Tuesday.

Isabel didn’t have much to say about her day at school. I had a staff meeting and didn’t get to see or hear about her day until later.

Today was supposed to be the extra recess and ice cream treat party but it has been postponed until tomorrow.

Today is Monday and there are 12 days left of school! Sounds better to Isabel then more than 2 weeks.

She’s ready for school to be over and she’s bored. She says all they do is review and review some more. Hang in there kiddo, it’ll be over before you know it!

This week’s Bible verse is…

“I pray also for those who will believe in Me… that all of them may be one.” – John 17: 20, 21

The Bible lesson this week is to serve others in unity.

S.a.T. this week is to share something you hope to learn in third grade. Isabel hasn’t done S.a.T. for several weeks. She keeps telling me she done with it, she doesn’t like doing it. No one listens to her when she’s at the front of the class. So she’s done, she doesn’t want to do it anymore.

This week the class will be learning the capital cursive: “Z”, “V”, “W” and “X“.

Spelling words for this week are…

overdue
overnight
overboard
overflow

Last week’s MAP testing in complete and the class did such an awesome job that they will be having an extra recess and an ice cream treat this week!

This weekend, Isabel worked hard at getting her Northwest Trek mammal animal report completed. It’s due this Friday, June 6, 2014.

She did an awesome job! She told me she’s glad she picked the porcupine because most of the class picked the fox. She also said she’s glad it’s over because she tired of writing about porcupines. We keep telling her she better get used to writing papers because she’s only going to be doing more of them!

The illustrations MUST to be drawn and colored by Isabel. The cover can have photos from the internet.

First illustration is a porcupine.

The second illustration is of the adult porcupine and the baby which is called a porcupette.
