Third Grade: Day 15 – Cell Model

Today was all about Science at school at home!

Today started with Bible in Genesis 18:1-15 and Luke 4:31-44.

In our memorization of a Psalm 8 poem/song, Isabel had to write out the verse from memory.

I’m loving her writing!
Beautiful isn’t it.

Her read-aloud book, is her Friday book, “Lawn Boy”. The book is about a boy who starts a lawn mowing business to buy inner tubes to ride his bike. This is the 2nd week she’s been reading this book, and she tells me, the book is funny and riveting and she’s enjoying it.

Today’s science was to build a 3D Cell Model!

Using items in our own kitchen, Isabel (with help from Daddy) made her own cell model!
(so awesome!!)

Her cell model includes:

  • spiral noodles as cell DNA
  • soy beans as cell large molecules
  • candies as the cell proteins
  • cotton fibers as cell acids and
  • other bits for small molecules.

Isabel loved doing this science project! It was the first thing she told me about after I stepped in the door from work (after she told me there was a spider on the wall!). She was able to tell me about it but got stuck on the larger words in cell. She did a great job!

In language arts, I had her write 2 more poems for me. 1 long and it had to be about Lula (her favorite stuffed animal) and 1 short it needed to be about whatever she choose. She is LOVING WRITING!!!

I LOVE this poem!

Poem 2 about whatever she wants (and she writes about the dog, again!)

Third Grade: Day 14

Today was a busy school day for Isabel with Daddy playing the teacher.

For Bible they read together Genesis 12:1-9 and the story of Abram. In Luke 4:1-30, Jesus is test and rejected.

Chapter 8 was read aloud in “Walk the Worlds Rim” and lessons were given in Math, Spelling and cursive writing.

In creative writing and handwriting, I gave Isabel an assignment to write 2 nursery rhythms/poems. She could choose the topic however, 1 poem had to be short (5 lines or so) and 1 poem had to be  long (more than 5 lines). She did an amazing job!

In language arts…

she had an assignment called, “I couldn’t believe my eyes“

In Geography, we mapped Canada, Greenland, China, the Spice Islands and the Atlantic Coast.

Later in the afternoon, after I got home from work, she got her piano practice in.

Fish Bowl Ornament

Isabel made this fish bowl ornament for Preston.

She used all blue molding clay. She got the color like in the fish and the rim of the bowl by coloring the clay with a marker. She would then mix the clay and then shape it into the desired shape. The fish is from a molding clay mold. She had started working on it a few days ago and today it was finally dry and ready for him to have.

I loved it so much I had to get a picture of it.
She really took her time making it, a lot of love went into her gift.
It’s beautiful.

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!

My baby blue bird from Isabel.
It’s new home will be my desk.

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

Gym

Isabel made this picture earlier this year or late last year, not really sure when, but it’s been hanging on her bulletin board in her room for awhile and I’ve never thought to look at the back.

Today when I went to clean up the board, I flipped over the page and found this delightful artwork!

The front page just reads gym.

The back has lovely drawings of what I can only image is Isabel at the gym doing exercises.

Glitter Glam

This afternoon Isabel wanted to do some glitter glam from her book she bought last week at the book fair.

So after testing her skin for allergies, she picked out and even designed her own glam!

Glitter Glammed!

2013-11-17 005_edited-1The blue dolphin didn’t turn out the way it was supposed to and the red swirl turned into an angle fish. Isabel’s design, the green seaweed, is the only thing that turned out!

She’s very happy with outcome, which I’m glad for.
We’ll see how long it lasts, she wants to show her friends at school tomorrow.

Snow And Frost – Just Like Me

This afternoon Isabel said she wanted to make a poem book (reminds me of my Grandmother!). So while I worked on the blog and Daddy did some work, she sat at her table in the kitchen and worked on getting her poem book started.

Her first poem for her book is an original!
