Today is Tuesday.

During music class today they worked again on the risers, improving their hand motions and songs. Isabel said she can’t wait for the program to be over, I guess she’s tired of singing.

Ms. Mila was absent again today. Her family has been sick the past few days. Hopefully they are all feeling better soon.

Isabel was in after-school care because I had a staff training meeting after school. She was more talkative about after-school care then school. She talked at length about her “new” friend with Ms. Sydney, a third grader and whose mother is a co-worker of mine. Ms. Sydney has invited Isabel to her birthday party this Saturday and she’s super excited to go.

Today is Monday and it’s music with Mr. G.

The Spring Program is this Thursday night. Isabel said that today they did “riser” practice. They went over how they were going to go up and down the risers and went through the songs and motions. Isabel said they went through the whole program twice.

The Bible verse for this week is…

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord,
not for men.” – Colossians 3:23

The Bible lesson this week is learning to forgive others.

S.a.T. (show and tell) this week is to share something that you have made. Isabel forgot. I forgot. However they didn’t do S.a.T. anyway because of program practice.

This week in math the class is learning 5 times tables and 2 times tables. Isabel said that she was helping Mr. Logan today with his 2 times tables because he didn’t understand them.

Also, this week the class will be learning the capital cursive: “C“, “O”, “E” and “D“.

The spelling words for this week are… none for this week.

Isabel did another fantastic job on her spelling and Bible test from last week. She got 100% on both again. She also got 100% on her 5 times math test from last week as well.

It’s Friday!

Isabel was surprised that her name was drawn again for Bella Bear! She didn’t think she would get her again before the school year was out.
(I was too!)

Bella Bear with her journal.
Oh, the stories this little bear could tell!

Isabel fought me on writing in the journal. I told her she had to write more then she wrote last time (in March) Bella Bear came home for a visit. She complained for all of about 5 minutes and then she just took off writing. When she was all finished and she had read to me what she wrote, I told her I was proud of what she had written and for writing so much. Most of the other girls in class only write a few short sentences, which isn’t going to help when they start writing book reports next year!

In 7 weeks we will find out who the winner is for the Bella Bear journal.

Today is Tuesday; it’s music class with Mr. G and A.S.O. (all school open).

Isabel they worked again on their hand motions. When I asked her if she knew them, she said no. I told her she better get learning them, the program is next week!

This week is Administrative Week. The staff is honoring our Administrative team Mrs. B, Mrs. K, and Mrs. G. Each day this week, we are honoring them with something different each day.

In A.S.O. this morning, Ms. Amanda and Ms. Elisa sang a unique song for our team and gave them each a certificate. Isabel said the song was great.

The ladies were also treated to a special long lunch out (away from school) with our Principal Mrs. B and our ELC supervisor Mrs. S. I went into the office to supervise while the ladies headed to lunch.

Isabel was in after-school care due to a staff meeting after school. So she didn’t have much to say about her school day, she was more talkative about after-school care.

Today is Monday.

This week is Administrative Week. The staff is honoring our Administrative team of Mrs. B, Mrs. K, and Mrs. G who work hard in our school office to support everyone. Each day this week, we are honoring them with something different each day. Today’s special honor was a card, chocolates and flowers.

It’s music class with Mr. G. Isabel said that they worked on their hand motions that go with the songs for the program.

This week’s Bible verse is…

“Let the wise listen and add to their learning and let the
discerning get guidance.” – Proverbs 1:5

The Bible lesson for this week is listening to God – story of Mary and Martha.

For S.a.T. (show and tell) this week it was free choice.

Isabel took her dart launcher and darts.

When I asked her if anyone else had shared, she said no. It’s been 3 weeks and Isabel said she has been the only person to share something.

This week the class will be learning the capital letter cursive: “A“, “O” and “D“.

This week’s spelling words are…

taller

Language arts this week is verbs-state of being (has, have and had) and “Chinatown“.

Last week I mentioned Isabel’s new online spelling homework that she does each day after school. She loves doing it, playing games makes learning the words more fun. Well, this morning, Teacher Mrs. A was telling the class that only 1 person got 100% on her spelling test…

Beautiful work!

Her Bible verse from last Thursday (no school Friday) is gorgeous too!
All her work from that day is BEAUTIFUL.

No school due to Good Friday.

Today is Thursday; it’s P.E., piano lessons after school and another half day for Isbael.

Even though it was a half day, Mrs. S the P.E. teacher, had P.E. classes. She combined classes and the kids played dodge ball in the gym. Isabel’s class was combined with the other 2nd grade class and the 3rd grade class.

After I was finished with work, I picked Isabel up from the after-school care. She was enrolled today since it was a half day and I had to work. It made it easier for piano lessons.

She didn’t have much else to say about her school day other then she got hurt during recess in after-school care.

She hit her head hard on the gym floor. Teacher Mrs. T came to my class and talked with me about the accident and said they would keep an eye on her and they had given her an ice pack. After school Isabel said her head was still a little tender but she felt O.K.

This girl needs a padded helmet, seriously, she’s always hitting her head. We get calls from the school all the time about her hitting her head at recess! So glad she’s O.K. and it wasn’t to serious.

 

Today is Wednesday; it’s Honor’s Chapel (for third quarter) , library and a half day.

Chapel was wonderful. I enjoy singing with the kids and hearing about all the awesome kids that go to our school. They work so hard and they deserve this time to shine!

Praise and worship before the Honors ceremony.
The first grade class did the pledges and opening prayer and the sixth grade
lead in the praise and worship.

Awards given to students for the most AR (accelerated reader) tests for the quarter.

Awards given to those with perfect attendance; meaning they didn’t miss any days in the third quarter.
Ms. Mila is this group. Way to go Mila!

Isabel wasn’t in this group this quarter because she was out sick 2 days and spent 2 days with Nana and Pompo when they were visiting for her birthday.

Honor roll students for grades K-2nd.
Isabel was in this group! Way to go!

Isabel accepting her “Terrific Kid” award from the Kiwanis.

Teacher Mrs. A wrote: “Isabel is a Terrific Kid because she always has interesting ideas and thoughts to share. She is a great thinker and expresses herself well. Thanks Isabel for helping to make our classroom a better place by sharing your great ideas.“

She received a certificate, a pencil and a bumper sticker.

Honor roll for third quarter.

She’s a TERRIFIC KID… but we already knew that!
