Today is Tuesday and it’s A.S.O. (all-school open) and music class with Mr. G.

Today was library, there was no music class and no A.S.O. (all school open).

Isabel said that Teacher Mrs. A, talked about the field trip park, Northwest Trek. She told stories about the different times that she’s been to the park and talked about the different animals the class will see on Friday.

Isabel didn’t mention anything else about her day at school. She’s looking forward to the field trip on Friday.

Second Grade: Day 148

Today is Monday it’s music class with Mr. G. However Isabel said they didn’t have music class today. Mr. G is preparing for the 4th-6th grade spring program on Thursday.

This week’s Bible verse is…

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ, God forgave you.” – Ephesians 4:32

S.a.T. (show and tell) this week is free choice.

Isabel did another fantastic job on her Bible verse test last week. There was no spelling test last week due to the spring program.

Isabel brought home her castle project from art class.
They were to follow directions, starting with drawing a rectangle. Directions were given to complete the castle.

This art project was started a month ago and the class worked on it on and off over the weeks. Isabel said that she got to choose and draw her own background. She did an awesome job!!

Happy Birthday Sydney

Isabel went to a swimming birthday party today for one of her classmates, Sydney.

There were about 20 kids or so at the party and we had the pool to ourselves.

Isabel did a great job being in the water by herself with her vest on.

Enjoying cake with the birthday girl.
Happy Birthday, Sydney!

Pumping

Isabel told me a month ago that she final has learned how to pump her legs on the swing at school!
I was so excited for her because I know how exciting it can be learning to doing this. You can go as high as you want, you don’t need to be pushed, and you feel like you can fly!

A few weeks later, Ms. B, from the school office snapped this ADORABLE shot of her on the swing!

That’s our girl!

Isabel also told me that she only swings on the yellow swings, not the black ones because her hair gets caught in the chain with the black swing. OUCH!!

Spring Program: King Of The Jungle

Tonight was the school’s spring program.

It was awesome.

Let the journey begin..

Isabel was on the far side of the room from where we sat. Which was good because we could see her but bad because she was so far away!
This was the only photo I got where Isabel was smiling.

The performances were great. Jungle Jean (girl in safari hat) had a LOT of lines to remember and she did great! She also had 2 solo’s! The choir (all those standing on the risers) sang 8 songs total.

The King’s Animal Kingdom
Lord of Creation
King of the Jungle
The Wild Worship
Bullfrogs and Butterflies (with kindergarten class as the B & B’s)
Noah’s Ark
The Lion’s Den
The Lion and the Lamb in Me

The moment after the final song ended.

Second Grade: Day 145

Today is Wednesday and it’s library and Chapel.

Isabel said today was Family Chapel but she didn’t mention what they talked about. Family Chapel is lead by a 6th grader and is a mixed age group of kids from K-5th. A great opportunity for leadership and growth for 6th graders. Also a great way for the younger kids to listen to their peers. I love Family Chapel.

During library she finally got to pick out a new library book after her little mishap with her old one. Today, she got a G. Stilton book “T. Stilton and the star castaways”. Sounds like a fun book about a mission to the moon!

Spring Program practice was only once today. Isabel said they sang through the songs and she got to see the set! She told me that I was going to LOVE it. She gets to stand by grass. I can’t wait until tomorrow night! She’s been giving me little bits and pieces of songs and they sound GREAT! So excited!

Second Grade: Day 144

Today is Tuesday.

During music class today they worked again on the risers, improving their hand motions and songs. Isabel said she can’t wait for the program to be over, I guess she’s tired of singing.

Ms. Mila was absent again today. Her family has been sick the past few days. Hopefully they are all feeling better soon.

Isabel was in after-school care because I had a staff training meeting after school. She was more talkative about after-school care then school. She talked at length about her “new” friend with Ms. Sydney, a third grader and whose mother is a co-worker of mine. Ms. Sydney has invited Isabel to her birthday party this Saturday and she’s super excited to go.

Second Grade: Day 143

Today is Monday and it’s music with Mr. G.

The Spring Program is this Thursday night. Isabel said that today they did “riser” practice. They went over how they were going to go up and down the risers and went through the songs and motions. Isabel said they went through the whole program twice.

The Bible verse for this week is…

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord,
not for men.” – Colossians 3:23

The Bible lesson this week is learning to forgive others.

S.a.T. (show and tell) this week is to share something that you have made. Isabel forgot. I forgot. However they didn’t do S.a.T. anyway because of program practice.

This week in math the class is learning 5 times tables and 2 times tables. Isabel said that she was helping Mr. Logan today with his 2 times tables because he didn’t understand them.

Also, this week the class will be learning the capital cursive: “C“, “O”, “E” and “D“.

The spelling words for this week are… none for this week.

Isabel did another fantastic job on her spelling and Bible test from last week. She got 100% on both again. She also got 100% on her 5 times math test from last week as well.
