Today begins parent/teacher conferences which begin tomorrow and the book fair at school begins tomorrow also.

Our meeting with Mrs. Boettcher is on Wednesday.

Isabel didn’t mention anything about class today. Her answer is always the same, “We did lots of stuff.” When we try to get more information she “can’t remember”.

Great practice work. All the numbers are going the right way!

Back: Dot to dot

Circle all the items that begin with the letter “Dd“.

Phonics practice with the letter “Dd“.

No school today due to Veteran’s Day. Thank you Vet’s and families for all the sacrifices you have made for your country. Thank you and God bless!

Tomorrow we are headed to Winter Jam. Isabel is looking forward to this, not only to see the artists but for the group that we are going with. I’ll share more later…

Isabel didn’t tell us anything about school today. Only that they got donuts for Ansley’s last day and that in honor of her last day Isabel drew her a picture. The picture was a rainbow with flowers.

The opening activity was “Nn” work.

Phonics practice with the letter “Dd”. She missed one and colored the carrots and then got lazy or rushed with her coloring.

Back: I noticed she didn’t even complete this side while at school and when I asked her about it…she said, she forgot. Later when I went to scan the page, I noticed she had completed the work at some point.

She’s doing great at memorizing her Bible verses for each week. She does struggle a bit (sometimes) with Chapter and verse but otherwise she has done a great job learning them each week and remembering the previous weeks verses as well. Way to go, Isabel!

The road crew was out early this morning working on the new traffic signal at the end of our main street. It’s going to be so nice! I got to go through the green light on our way to school and felt safe crossing traffic. Some of the road “ladies” were removing cones from further down the street to open the final lane for traffic. It’s been over 2 years since the work began and I am so ready for it to end!

Mrs. Boettcher and Mrs. Kelso were both excited to see Isabel back at school. Her cough has subsided but is still lingering around. She was excited to be back and showed off her new purple fingertips!

I found out from the internet yesterday, that there is no over-the-counter medication for children under the age of 12 with a cough. The FDA has banded it since 2008. I did find information about giving her a 1/2 teaspoon of honey.  Yesterday it worked! She still was coughing but it seemed fewer and less harsh. I was surprised and will try it again for sure!

Today was Show-and-Tell Wednesday, for the boys that is. The items the boys had to bring had to begin with the letter “Dd“. Ja’Siah brought a Pillow Pets® dinosaur and a toy dinosaur that was smaller. Lincoln or Nevan (Isabel couldn’t remember who) brought a puppy dog. Since there are only 5 boys in the class they mostly brought dinosaurs.

Isabel has also learned to count by 10’s. She practices while she’s eating at the table. So cool to see that she’s picked up numbers and counting so quickly and easily.

Only one paper today.

Back: dot to dot.

Tomorrow is Ansley’s last day. She’s moving. I’m not sure exactly if she’s moving schools or moving locations. Isabel has just said she’s moving.

Today is the half way mark to day 100 of Kindergarten! I know the class is excited about this day, that is so fast approaching.

I kept Isabel home from school today, her cough sounded horrible this morning!

So it’s a sick day today, good news though is the sun is out!
