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

Isabel said, in music, they practiced for their Christmas program and that the program is about a mystery.

This week the class is learning how to change the “y” to “i” and add “ed”. Isabel says she doesn’t like having to do that because it’s just to confusing. I told her once you practice it enough you’ll get the hang of it.

This week’s language arts book is: “Days with Frog and Toad” and naming the parts of a sentence. All week they will be doing assignments to learn the sentence parts.

This week’s Bible verse is…

“The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save.”
– Zephaniah 3:17

Spelling/vocabulary words for this week…

cried
hurried
replied
fried
tried
worried
carried
copied
married
studied
remarked
finished
alone
river
think
cheer: make glad
fine: very good
meadow: grassy land
reason: cause of something
spoiled: ruined

This weeks S.a.T. (show and tell) is a free choice week. Isabel took her favorite stuffed animals…

When I asked her what she said about them. She said, she told the class she’s had them since she was little. She has 2 of them because she lost one in a store once and Momma didn’t want me to be sad, so she got me another one. She also sleeps with them both every night (mostly). She didn’t get to say a whole lot and couldn’t remember what else she said.

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

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

For P.E. the class was divided into 2 groups.

The first group rode on scooters at one end of the gym. Going backward, forward and on their tummy. They had to share their scooter with a partner as well.

The second group, at the other half of the gym, played basketball. They had to see how many times they could throw the ball and make a basket. They had to share the ball with a partner as well.

Isabel enjoyed P.E. but didn’t like scooting backward on the scooter. She did make 9 baskets when she and her partner played ball at the other end of the gym.

Language arts lesson for the week: Henry and Mudge Under the Yellow moon.
Understanding exclamation and command sentences.

Today is Wednesday and that means Chapel and library.

Chapel was lead by Mr. Holden. Mr. Holden shared about being slaves to sin and how it can entangle our lives. Several students were able to demonstrate the necessity and power of following directions and how that can lead to positive outcomes. Thank you Mr. Holden for this awesome lesson.

During library Isabel got a “magic tree house” book and together she read it to me over the next several days as her reading homework.

She does such an amazing job reading aloud. She doesn’t like the idea of having to read aloud but she is doing great just needs to remember to slow down and read clearly. Hopefully as she continues with this homework assignment she grows more confidently reading aloud.

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

Isabel didn’t tell me about her day today. After school she went into the extended program (E.P.). She enjoys going into the E.P. but I always miss hearing about her school day.

While she was in E.P. I had a staffing meeting to attend so I didn’t get to see her until after 5 p.m.

Classwork…

D.L.R. for today.
They grade them together as a class; Isabel got a little carried away with grading.

Isabel got her dictionary I ordered for her last month today.

LOVE the idea of her having her own but NOT liking some of the words
that are included in a CHILDREN’S dictionary!!

Our neighborhood experienced a TORNADO this morning! That’s totally unheard of in our neck of the woods but it really did happen! Several homes in our neighborhood have damage and an industrial park, close by, experienced damage to buildings. Crazy right!

What is even more amazing is that Isabel and I both witnessed the tornado going through our neighborhood! She was looking out our back window and called me over to see all this debris flying through the air. As I’m looking out the window, I’m thinking “that looks like a tornado!” and I’m also thinking “we don’t get tornado’s!”. With that I close the blinds and go back to making Isabel’s lunch. Nothing more was thought about it until Gino called me from work, to say a tornado went through our area! Crazy!

No one was hurt by the tornado and the only damage done was to buildings and a few cars. Thankful for that! God is in control!

Today is Monday and it’s music class.
(A.S.O. – All School Opening, has been moved to Tuesdays)

The Bible verse for this week…

” The Lord is the stronghold of my life – of whom (or what) shall I be afraid?”
– Psalms 27:1

This week’s Bible lesson is on God calling us to obey and serve Him.

This week’s S.a.T. (show and tell) theme is to share your favorite book or story about fall. Isabel was the only one to share today and she took her book (below) and during lunch Teacher Mrs. A read it to the class.

We love this awesome fall book!

Also this week, Isabel is the “paper person”. She gets to hand out everyone’s take home work at the end of the day and place it in their mailboxes. She said she enjoyed doing it today.

In Social Studies they will be working on Continents and Oceans.

This week’s spelling words are…

barked
licked
backed
thanked
painted
opened
mailed
remarked
checked
finished
mistake
became

few
same
chipmunks: small, striped member of the squirrel family

The first field trip for the school year will be on October 23rd. The class will be heading to another campus (in our same school district) for a special fire prevention assembly. More information will be coming soon.

Classwork…

All the work she brought home today was from last Friday. She didn’t have anything from today. So I’m thinking whatever was done today needed to be handed in and graded. We’ll see it tomorrow or later in the week.

Great job on her spelling test on Friday.

They also did this vocabulary worksheet with their words from the week.

D.L.R. from Friday as well.

Last week’s Bible verse test.
Great job!

Today is Friday and it’s a half day (teacher work day)  for Isabel. Preschool was running all day so I am not off work, however, Gino is off, so he’ll be able to pick her up from school.

Today was a spelling/vocabulary test and Bible verse testing. They also did AR (accelerated reader) testing in the computer lab with Mrs. T.

Isabel passed her Bible verse test (see below) but the spelling test wasn’t in with her paperwork (might see that in the folder Monday after school).

Bible verse test for week of September 23-27th, 2013

Isabel remembered to bring home her folder and papers today. So we can get a jump start on next week’s Bible verse, spelling words and know what S.a.T. is about.

Isabel got a “Fantastic” on her end of week assignment sheet and for doing so she got a responsibility “R“. The end of the week assignment sheet is what Teacher Mrs. A, uses to communicate missing assignments during the week that are graded. This week Isabel handed all her assignments in to be graded! Each week I need to review the sheet (if there are assignments missing, find them and have Isabel hand them in on Monday) and then return the sheet signed back to Teacher Mrs. A.

Today is Wednesday and that means Chapel and library.

Principle Mrs. B gave the message today in Chapel. She gave a message about thinking before we speak.

THINK = True, Helpful, In love, Necessary, and Kindness

Is what I’m about to say…

1. Is it True?
2. Is it Helpful?
3. Is it In love?
4. Is it Necessary?
5. Is it in Kindness?

… to the person(s) I am speaking to (about).
(Very good message!)

Today Isabel said she took a math test. She isn’t sure what she got on it yet but she thinks she did a good job. She said, “The problems were easy.”

Ms. N shared during S.a.T. (Show and Tell). Ms. N brought a photo of when she was a baby. Which fit with the theme for this week; share something about when you were younger.

Today was Ms. N’s birthday! Her mother brought cake pops to share with the entire class. Isabel said she enjoyed it.

During Library today, Isabel got a Jack and Annie book from the Magic tree-house series. She said the book is about Paris and the Eiffel tower.
