Second Grade: Day 32

Today is Thursday and it’s P.E.

For P.E. class today they played their human tangle game and “clean the yard”. Isabel loves playing clean the yard!

She didn’t mention anything else about her day other than they played a new game in class for math.

Classwork…

She brought home a lot of work today and finally had math homework after not having any for the past 2 days. We worked on her Bible verse, spelling and did her reading homework too.

Second Grade: Day 31

Today is Wednesday and that means Chapel!

Today’s Chapel was lead by PASTOR SHAWN! Isabel was super excited after school. She told me all about how he stuck a straw through a potato. When I asked her about what the message was, she couldn’t remember. I’ll have to refresh her memory when the newsletter comes out tomorrow.

BTW: Pastor Shawn’s message was about how much following instructions effects a task. The verse he used was: “Take hold of instructions; don’t let them go. Guard them, for they are the key of life.” Proverbs 4:13

She didn’t tell me anything else about her day, I guess she was to excited about Pastor Shawn!

Classwork…

There was no MAP testing and again no math homework. We worked on reading, forgot to do spelling and the Bible verse.

2013-10-18 008_edited-1The class actually did this assignment several weeks ago and they have been using the chart in class since then. She got to bring this chart home because they made a new chart about what times everyone gets up in the morning. She said most of the class gets up at 7:30 a.m.

Isabel is the only one that likes Thursday and the only reason she likes Thursday is P.E.

Second Grade: Day 30

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

This morning we awoke to a super foggy morning and it didn’t clear up until later in the afternoon.

Isabel didn’t have much to say about her day today. They did do some MAP testing, which I think they are finishing up with this week. So that should be over with soon.

Classwork…

She brought home so much work today and she didn’t have any homework! We did work on her reading homework and her Bible verse and spelling words for Friday, though!

Was in a hurry to get this one finished I think.

Second Grade: Day 29

Today is Monday! A new week of learning is ahead and there is more MAP testing this week.

The Bible verse for this week is…

“For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good work.”
– Ephesians 2:10a

Today during class they played a new game. It was a shape (math shapes) game that they played together on the floor. Isabel said she liked this game but got stuck on 2 of the shapes.

Music with Mr. G went better today. The class has been having issues with talking out of turn and not listening to instructions. They worked on their program coming up in December and I got to hear a tiny sample of one of the songs! Sounds great.

For S.a.T. (show and tell) the class is to share something that they have learned about fall.

Isabel said no one from her group did it today and I was shocked! We had gone over several things that she has learned about fall just the night before. But she said she couldn’t remember and no one did it anyway. Bit of a disappointment.

Spelling words for this week…

sat
ate
acrobat
flat
that
fat
gate
appreciate
create
state
worried
studied
children
each
girl
amazing: surprising
clustered: formed a group
gathered: came together
raced: ran quickly
wandered: went from place to place without a plan

The Bible lesson for this week is continuing from last week about Moses and the first 9 plagues of Egypt.

Second Grade: Day 28

Today is Friday, which means it’s test day in school. There is a spelling test, Bible and math. Isabel has worked really hard this week learning in all those areas. We’ll find out how she does on Monday!

Today, Isabel said they worked on a continent book.

My Project 3-001_edited-1

They had to cut out the continents and then paste them to a page in their book. When I asked her what continents there were she said…”Asia, North America, South America, Antarctica, and Africa.” She couldn’t remember any of the others. She did great! She missed only 2; Europe and Australia. She really enjoyed doing this little project, “it was the most fun she had all day!” (it bet out recess!).

The class played their “sparkle” math game again today. Isabel couldn’t remember who won.

During lunch, Teacher Mrs. A has been reading the Boxcar children series by Gertrude C. Warner. Isabel is really enjoying these stories and when I told her they books originally came out in the 20’s she was surprised.

Speaking of lunch, Isabel said the whole class (except for 2) got hot lunch today. So they all had to go and get their lunch together since so many were getting lunch! Usually lunch is brought to the classroom.

Friday’s are also clean out your desk days. Isabel said she cleaned her desk out and got rid of all the trash from the week. She put all her journal’s and folder’s on one side and book’s and other things on the other. Isabel said Teacher Mrs. A doesn’t allow anyone to dump there desk on the floor! So each Friday everyone has to clean out there desk and make it neat.

Practice Bible verse test with coloring!

Tonight we are heading to a concert. Isabel has been super excited about it all week! We are going to see the Digital Age. These guys used to be part of the DCB or David Crowder Band. Looking forward to a great night of worship!

 

Second Grade: Day 27

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

For P.E. Isabel said they played dead ants and don’t steal from the cookie jar. She was disappointed that they didn’t play clean the yard, which is her favorite game. Maybe next time.

I asked her about S.a.T. and she couldn’t remember who brought anything.

She didn’t mention anything else about her day. Other then her time out at recess.

Second Grade: Day 26 – Fun Lunch

Today is Wednesday it is Chapel and library day.

It’s also FUN LUNCH! It’s the first Fun Lunch of the year! Isabel loves these days. The school orders pizza from an area chain and then the kids also get a bag of goodies to go with it. Today she had cheese pizza, cheese stick, fruit roll up, cookies and juice. Everyone loves Fun Lunch days!

This morning just before heading out the door, I told Isabel I wanted to get her picture because she looked very nice for Chapel today…

2013-10-09 015_edited-1

She looks very grown up today!
She’s adorable!

In class today they played their game called “sparkle“. Isabel was trying to explain it to me and what I understand the game to be is it’s a spelling game. They played 2 rounds and Isabel won the first round, the second round no one won.

Today’s Chapel was lead by a parent whose child is in the kindergarten class. Isabel said the lesson was about being “tied up in sin“. She said several of the 4th grade kids demonstrated how it feels like to be “tied up in sin” with a cassette tape. Sounds like a great message.

Isabel said they also went to the computer lab today. While there, they worked on “packet work“. Today she learned that there are 101 keys on a keyboard and she learned about the “space bar”.

During library, she got a new M.T.H. book called “Good Morning Gorilla“. We’ll read it together after school as her reading homework.

She also talked about recess. She’s been working on learning how to move on the monkey bars. She said today during on of their recesses, they had to stay “up top” on the asphalt because the mower was out mowing the grass today.

Second Grade: Day 25

Today is Tuesday and it’s music class with Mr. G and A.S.O. (All School Open)!

In music they practiced their songs again for their music program. Isabel can’t remember the songs… hopefully she remembers them the night of the program!

Today was MAP testing. The school does this testing 3 times a year throughout the school year to see where your child falls locally and nationally.

Several kids brought items for S.a.T. There was a Jesse and Woody doll, a robot and an airplane. Free choice S.a.T. is turning out to be a good week because so far most of the kids are participating.

The last recess was in the gym because of sever thunder and rain. Isabel said the thunder was so loud it went “BOOM” at school. I told her, I had heard the thunder too and it was so loud it was shaking the windows at the house and vibrating through the floor it was so loud!
