This morning I was working in the office. Which I enjoyed very much, even though I don’t know how much of a help I was, since I didn’t know a lot.

The school had all school open, this morning and I finally got to know it exactly is! It’s an assembly where awards are given out to students for the previous week. Isabel was in the draw this week but she didn’t get picked for a “prize”, maybe next time. Also with the end of the quarter, awards were given out for achievements made by the older kids during the quarter. All school open is kept short and they open with a few songs, followed by prayer, and then the awards are handed out.

Since I was working after she got out of school I didn’t get all the info about her day and when I asked her later, she said she couldn’t remember.

The opening activity was a dot-to-dot.
The scribble over the name is not a scribble, it’s a hidden picture,
can you see  the picture?

This morning was gorgeous when I drove Isabel to school today, not a cloud in the sky! We did have some frost overnight but it didn’t stick around long after the sun came over the mountain in the backyard. The afternoon was a bit cloudy and the sun ended up playing peek-a-boo all the rest of the day.

Today was Spirit Friday. All the kids were allowed to wear team apparel for their favorite team.

We picked up Isabel from school and headed out to eat for a free lunch! The afternoon was spent updating the blog, while Gino and Isabel spent some time outside. Isabel didn’t mention anything about her day.

Math work writing number 11.

Back: measuring practice.

Phonics work for the letter “Vv“.

Back: phonics work.

This morning I am working again but only working to cover morning breaks and lunches, I should be off around the time Isabel is out of school. Hurray! I’ve missed picking her up and hearing about her day first hand this week.

We had some snow on the ground this morning that actually stuck around until about noon. It was less then an inch, but Isabel enjoyed it. She even got Daddy and I with smack of a snowball after school!

Since we forgot her show-and-tell yesterday, we made sure that she had it this morning! She took the book…

God Gave Us Christmas” by Lisa Tan Bergren. She said it wasn’t her favorite book because she doesn’t have a favorite book (that’s my girl).

The opening activity was a dot-to-dot of a Brachiosaurus (bray-kee-oh-sore-is).

Isabel didn’t give me to much detail about her day but she did say that they had music class with Mrs. Seal, did P.E. in the gym, and went to recess too! During recess she said she made a big snowman and snowballs too. She is hoping that the snowman is there tomorrow when she goes back out for recess.

Later in the afternoon, we all went for a walk together, Gino took Daisy along too while Isabel rode her scooter. She’s getting better at it and can go for short periods balanced on the board. We walked around the neighborhood and were surprised to see crocuses, daffodils, and some other flowers that I couldn’t identify. We are so excited for warm temperatures! We had a great walk and I know Isabel was tired from her scooter ride by the time we got home.

This morning I have to work the opening shift and working a full shift, so I’m not able to take Isabel to school or pick her up.

Today is Wednesday and is the girls show-and-tell day. They were told to bring a favorite book, however we forgot about it and Isabel ended up taking her show-and-tell the next day.

Writing practice with the letter “Pp“.

Back: Pam the Parrot lives at the Pet store where Peter the Pig works with a Pink Poodle and other Playful Puppies.

Not much was said about the day and I was worn out from a very hard day at work.

Today is the first day of Spring! I know in my household we have been waiting for this day to arrive! I also think a certain bird outside this morning was just as excited about that fact too. It was singing a song so loud and for so long! Spring is here! Get out and get active! Enjoy!

Today is Chapel Tuesday.

The superintendent at school spoke about forgiveness. Ephesians 4:32 reminds us that we are to be kind and compassionate to one another, tenderhearted, and forgiving one another as Christ Jesus forgave us. A lack of forgiveness often hurts us more then the other person. Every one makes mistakes. Sometimes it is harder for us to admit we are wrong and ask for forgiveness. What a great lesson we all need to be reminded of!

“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.”
- Lewis B. Smedes

Without forgiveness life is governed by… an endless cycle of resentment and retaliation.” – Roberto Assagioli

Dice math. Role the dice, write down the 2 numbers you get and then add them up!
Fun math!!
Isabel didn’t get this finished in class so Mrs. Boettcher  let her bring home the dice and pig plate (to roll the dice on) to finish. She was working on this while I was heading out the door to work.

Writing practice for the letter “Bb“.

Back: Baby Bear Ben has Balloon’s for all his Bird friends.

Not much was said about school today except for the fact that she found a dime. Actually it was Audrey who found the money but she gave a dime to Isabel.

The opening activity was just a coloring page of dinosaurs.

They did work on writing their numbers. Isabel did a great job with this.

Back: writing practice for the number 6.

They also played a game with numbers and the end result was a picture of a kite!

They also played the dice game again. I’m not sure Isabel understands the whole concept because she only made a pattern on her paper.

It was all-school-open as well, but Isabel didn’t mention anything about what was said or what they did.
