First Grade: Day 74

Today is the last day of school for the year and before Christmas vacation begins.

Today is also a special Christmas Chapel. Everyone was invited to attend and since Nana and Pompo are here, they get to see it! (I did get video but it’s a large file and I can’t add it to the website).

Not much work was done today, Isabel said.

An art project she did at some point in time during the month,
today she got to bring it home.

Fantastic job!

A Christmas card.
Inside it says…

“I love the Christmas season for a most important reason.
It is the time when God above sent down His only son in love.
He gave to you and He gave to me the very best gift upon a tree!
Thank you Lord for Your special son, who conquered sin and victory won!”

Working with words that begin with the same sound.

A sequencing test.
It was several pages and she missed only 3. Great job!

Christmas Chapel began in the early afternoon and afterward Isabel was free to leave.

Each class, k-6th grade, got up on stage to sing 1 Christmas song with their teacher. We (the congregation) also sang chorals together and watched a great animated video of the nativity story.

I love that I got Mrs. S taking the picture of the above picture in my picture! That’s awesome!!

At the end of Chapel the staff (all those working) got up to lead the congregation in one final song.

It was an awesome Chapel day, I enjoyed the story and all the singing by the kids. Afterward, we picked up Isabel at her class and then went to lunch with Nana and Pompo.

First Grade: Day 73 – Happy Birthday Jesus Party

Today is Thankful Thursday! Thankful Thursday is P.E. with Mrs. S and computer lab with Mrs. T. Computer lab was cancelled today.

For P.E. they played “squirrels/trees” (forgot what Isabel said this game was like) and “4 corners” (this one too!). Isabel said she likes playing 4 corners.

There was a lot of work to do before the celebration later in the day…

Front: learning to add “s” to words when there is more then one.

Back: learning to add “s” when it’s telling something that is happening now.

Front: adding “ed” to words that are telling about the past.

Back: working with “ed“.
She is getting good at doing word searches and crossword puzzles.

A fun holiday maze.

Today is also the class, Happy Birthday Jesus! party!!!

 The class sang Happy Birthday Jesus (tune of Happy Birthday) and then enjoyed cake, ice cream, gingerbread boys/girls, Christmas cookies, candy canes, and chocolate milk! Principle Mrs. B came to share a story with the class a well. Enjoy!
