Today is Thursday and it’s the night of the Christmas program!

The kids and Mr. G (and a whole list of others) have been working really really hard on their program.

They practiced a lot during school today. Isabel said they missed one recess because of practice. Nothing else was said about her day and we didn’t have much time to talk about her day before heading back to school for the program.

Today is Wednesday and it’s library and the Christmas shop in the gym.
(Chapel has been moved to Friday this week)

The Christmas Shop is provided each year for the kids to shop for their family members. The gifts are priced no more than $5.00 and the gifts are donations from families at the school, who want to donate to the Christmas shop. The kids love being able to shop on their own for family and friends.

Isabel was excited to head to the Christmas Shop  because before school, we were able to see the gifts available for purchase. She purchased 3 gifts for her family at the Christmas Shop. She got something for Daddy and something for Mommy and something for herself too!

During their normal Chapel, the classes (K-6) went to the sanctuary to practice for their program tomorrow.

Today is Tuesday and it’s music class with Mr. G

I know they are really working on their Christmas program. Isabel has been singing bits and pieces of the songs. I am getting excited and she’s getting tired of practicing. It’s going to be great!

She didn’t have anything to say about her school day and she had no homework to do!

It’s been a busy week and it’s just going to get busier before the weekend.

Today is the last Monday before Christmas Vacation!

This week is going to be a really busy one, there is a lot going on before we can even think about going on vacation!…

• Last week’s spelling test was moved to Tuesday of this week
• Wednesday is the Christmas shop in the gym. (I am subbing on Wednesday morning)
• Thursday is the Christmas program
• Piano lesson on Thursday
• Friday is a class Christmas party, special Christmas Chapel and a half day (which I will miss because of work)

The Bible verse for this week is…

“For unto us a child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” – Isaiah 9:6

The Bible lesson for this week is the birth of Jesus.

The spelling words for this week are the same as last week…

sprout
streams (listed twice)
through
strong
strap

nutrition: food part that is needed for life and growth
protects: keeps safe from harm

S.a.T. (show and tell) this week is to share your families favorite Christmas tradition. Isabel shared our tradition of eating pancakes on Christmas morning. Teacher Mrs. A shared that she makes homemade cinnamon rolls on Christmas morning. Yum! Yum!

On the way home, Isabel said they practiced again today for the Christmas program on Thursday night. She also told me that she’s going to be singing a solo! Get out the recorder and let’s hear her sing! Can’t wait!

She didn’t have anything else to say about her day. It’s getting harder and harder to get information out of her about her day. I keep trying though…

Language arts is proper nouns with a test on Tuesday and “From Seed to Plant“. Which ties in with the Science lesson about plants.

Today is Friday and it’s testing day in class and computer lab with Mrs. T.

Isabel said she didn’t take any tests today except for the Bible verse. She had to say the verse aloud to Teacher Mrs. A.

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Romans 12:2a

They also had a free-choice day (their first one!). They got to choose whether to read a book (from the class library), play a game from the cupboard or put a puzzle together. Isabel said she put a puzzle together with some help from Teacher Mrs. A. Together they worked on a 100-piece puzzle with a “cute raccoon that was in a pair of pants hanging from a clothes line” she said. She had a lot of fun doing that.

During computer lab, they didn’t do any lab work; instead they watched 2 movies! She really enjoyed that!

Overall, she said that today was the best school day.

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

In P.E. class they did a few running laps around the gym and then played dodge ball.

She didn’t mention anything else about her day and I didn’t get to ask because I had my Preschool 3’s class Christmas program tonight.

Today is Wednesday and it’s Chapel and library.

Chapel today was given by Pastor S., who asked the question, “What does Christmas mean to you?” Christmas means wait, trust, and celebrate!

Wait is anticipation that Christmas is coming just as the Israelites anticipated the Messiah so long ago.

Trust is trusting God.

Celebrate is the opportunity to celebrate the precious gift given to the world when Jesus was born.

For 1 week the sixth grade class has had a peanut butter and jelly drive for a local area food bank. Each class (K-6th) was challenged to bring the most jars. The first grade class won the challenge by bringing 159 jars! The class will have a root beer and pizza party next week!

The total school results for the PB&J drive was 369 jars of peanut butter and jelly collected! What a huge blessing to all the families that will benefit from the sixth grade class drive.
