Today is Wonderful Wednesday and it’s music class with Mr. G.
During music the class practiced their song that they will be performing on Friday during a special Christmas Chapel on Friday. Isabel’s class will be singing “Joy to the World“. All the other classes will be singing a Christmas song as well. I can’t wait to see the performance since she missed her Christmas program last week because she was sick.
With snow still on the ground from yesterdays snow storm, Isabel said she helped others as recess build a snowman and played in a snow fort that the bigger kids had built on the playground. What fun!
Today was also the “Santa Workshop” in the gym. Parents donate small inexpensive gifts and the items can be purchased by the students from $1.00 up to $5.00 or so. Each class is given an opportunity to shop for siblings, parents, cousins, grandparents, or whomever they choose. The smaller kids (k-2nd graders) are paired up with an older “helper” student (4-6th graders) to help with selection and money counting. A great way to show compassion, kindness, and love to other students in school. All characteristics needed during this time of the year and all year long! This year however, I completely forgot about it and didn’t have any money for Isabel to purchase gifts. When her class went to the gym to shop, a fellow student loaned her (and another classmate) some money to purchase gifts. So sweet! She purchased two gifts; 1 for Nana and 1 for Pompo but I can’t tell you what they are yet! You’ll just have to wait…
Not much work was completed today with all the other activities going on it was hard to get any work done!
Working with titles for people.
