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

Today is day 4 of “missions week” and the whole school (preschool – 6th grade) went on a mission’s tour in the gym. Each student was given a “passport” booklet for their tour. After visiting each table and hearing about the country the missionary served in, the students were given a stamp in their booklet. Isabel said they learned about the food (some tables had samples!) and the people that live there. Isabel said she had fun learning about missions this week and she got to see and hear Mrs. W several times.

From one of the tables she got this. However she can’t remember where she put her “passport”.

Classwork…

For P.E. they played “sharks and widows“, “pac-man” and “clean the yard“! Out of those 3 games, Isabel says she likes to play “clean the yard” best.

After P.E. the class had a Easter party hosted by one of the parents.

• finish science project that started yesterday. – Each table in class put a raw egg in a glass of vinegar yesterday. Today the class took out their eggs and observed what had happened to the egg.
• scavenger hunt. – The class went outside to a patch of dirt and hunted for items.
• discuss egg findings in groups.
• Easter story related to eggs. – Someone read to them “The Thornbush” by Michael Laughlin, “The Story of Easter for Children” by Beverly Rae Wiersum and another book that Isabel couldn’t remember.
• Easter “egg” snack. – Easter eggs filled with ham, cheese, grapes, and jellybeans.
• toilet paper “grave” story. Isabel couldn’t remember what this was about.

Sounds like they had a very busy fun filled day!

Today is Wonderful Wednesday!

It’s music class with Mr. G and computer lab with Mrs. T.
Which were both cancelled due to missions week.

Today is day 3 of “missions week” and the whole school went to an assembly hosted by World Vision.

A World Vision representative spoke about the work the organization does all around the world and our school provided World Vision with a check for $1.049.39 for farm animals for a village. The money was raised all week by the students (preschool through 6th grade) in a penny drive.

Today’s ASO had special missions guests the Frazier family. Each day this week the whole school will gather to hear from different missionaries/organizations from around the world. Also, the whole school is having a “penny drive“ to raise money to buy an animal for a village.

During ASO, Isabel got picked again this week for a “Shining R” award. When she went to the office to get her prize she got a red “Cars” eraser.

Today was a busy day at school; it was Spirit Friday with a Dr. Seuss theme, the class root beer float party, and a bake sale for the 6th grade class!

Enjoying some root beer in class today!

Isabel enjoyed her “float” party. She had 2 floats, a small “cat-in-the-hat” cookie (classmate brought to share with the whole class) and 1 large cookie. I’ve heard that next week they are having another party too!

We stopped by the bake sale after school and supported our 6th graders for camp! We got a large hand full of goodies and look forward to enjoying them after dinner.

Today is Thankful Thursday and it’s P.E. with Mrs. S. Isabel also said they had computer lab with AR testing again today.

I was called to sub last night and was delighted to work in one of the kindergarten classes this morning. So different from working with 3 year-olds but still a bit similar in a few ways. It was fun.

I even got to do recess duty, which I have done before but today wasn’t at all enjoyable. It was freezing! The wind was nasty. I’m so glad that I had my hood but wished I had gloves and a scarf. My fingers, checks, nose and ears were bright red when I went back inside. Some of the kids, my daughter included, must have thought it was summer because they were running around without coats! Crazy!

Isabel’s day started with computer lab first thing.

The computer’s weren’t working so they missed out on recesses because of it. Isabel was disappointed and I was too, since I was on recess duty for that time as well.

During P.E. they played “shark island“. I got to see the game for a little while before leaving work. Lots of running (which is a good thing!) and good team work building skills in play for that game. Watch though some of those kids can really run!

Isabel also said they took a math test today. She didn’t mention how she did so I’m assuming we’ll find out tomorrow in her Friday Folder.

Tomorrow afternoon is the BIG ROOT BEER FLOAT party! Isabel has been talking about it the past 2 days. Just need to remember our share of the root beer…

Isabel didn’t say if they did their experiment today or Tuesday.
Great observations!

Today is Wonderful Wednesday!

It’s music class with Mr. G and computer lab with Mrs. T.

Isabel said they were practicing for their spring program again today. She was singing the chorus to one of the songs but she couldn’t remember the whole thing.

During computer lab they did more AR testing.

Today is also the first day of spring! Woohoo! I am so excited! I’ve been looking forward to this day since winter began. I’m not a huge fan of winter, rain, ice, snow and cold. Bring on the sun!!
