Second Grade: Day 88

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

I miss placed the spelling word sheet for this week. There is no S.a.T. this week.

Second Grade: No School

No school due to today being the SPELLING BEE!

Isabel has been excused from class work for the day. I will post results from the Bee later…

My Project 1-001 (10)_edited-1

UPDATE!!!

Isabel didn’t win the Spelling Bee. She was so nervous…

However, we did learn a lot of new words and their meanings but next year I think she’ll let someone else enjoy the experience.

I will post photos when I get my computer back.

Second Grade: Day 87

Today is Thursday and it’s P.E. with Mrs. S and piano after school with Ms. G.

During P.E. class in the gym, they played “pac-man” and hockey. Isabel said she’s played hockey before and really enjoys it.

Piano was a review this week, since Isabel didn’t work on piano.

Spelling Bee…

The Spelling Bee is tomorrow, Isabel says she is ready for the Bee to be over. Will update with results later.

Second Grade: Day 86

Today is Wednesday and it’s Chapel.

When I picked Isabel up she didn’t mention anything about her day. She told me all about her HUGE library book. It’s a collection of 12 short classic stories all-in-one. She can’t wait to begin reading it!

There was MAP testing again today in the computer lab.

Spelling Bee…

Tonight we went over words on the list focusing on words that she has trouble with.

Tonight when I was putting her to bed…

I said, “There is only 1 day left and then it’s Bee time.”

She said, “Hurray and then I don’t have to spell anymore Bee words. I only have my school words each week.”

Desk Top

Well, my desk top computer hard drive is on the fritz again!

It started making noises the other day and Gino looked at, searched for a solution on the web and thought he had it repaired. Last night though before going to bed he told me he had to turn it off. For fear of it not coming back on and I lose everything.
(I do backup photos but everything else would be gone).

I’m so frustrated!!! Technology can be your friend one day and be your enemy the next!

The reason I’m mentioning this is because updating the family blog happens on my desk top computer NOT my laptop. So, there will be delays in updates and photos. Until this gets fixed (again). So please bear with me…

Second Grade: Day 85

Today is Tuesday and it’s music with Mr. G and it’s MAP testing week.

Isabel said they listened to the Nutcracker again during music class. She said it sounds like the same thing over and over again. I told her that the music does sound the same or similar but it’s not. I think she’s losing interest in it.

MAP testing was today. They did math testing and will continue tomorrow with testing as well.

She didn’t mention anything else about her day and she didn’t even say anything about recess!

The Bible verse for this week is…

“I am the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for Me?” – Jeremiah 32:27

S.a.T. (show and tell) this week is free choice. Isabel didn’t share today.

The Bible lesson today is God’s chosen people invade the promised land. Cursive lowercase letters this week are: “b” and “l”.

Spelling words for this week are…

beauties
babies
cities
duties
bodies
skies
copies
cries
pennies
hobbies
sign
unknown
drink
hill
road
boasted: bragged
crept: moved slowly
crown: a pretty head covering often with points
village: a group of houses that is not as large as a town

This was on the back of her scratch paper from MAP testing. She finished her work and while she waited for the others in her class to finish she drew. I thought it was cute; a beef gravy river and a hot dog and bacon tree!

Spelling Bee…

Tonight we worked on words again. The next 2 days, we will be working on those words that cause her to pause and think or she keeps miss spelling. The Bee is on Friday and she’s nervous about it already.

Second Grade: Day 84

Today is Friday!

On the way home from work/school I was asking Isabel all kinds of silly questions about her day.

Did you sing a song today?” – Her first response was no but then I reminded her that on the way to school this morning she was making up a song about a dinosaur. “Dino my pet dinosaur…”

Did you do any math?” – Yes.

Did you go to the bathroom?” – Yes.

Did you wash your hands?” – Yes!!

Did you go to recess?” – Yes.

Did you go swimming?” – No.

Did you play baseball?” – No.

Did you get your picture taken?” – Yes. Mrs. B, from the office, took our picture for Blue Friday (S.H. football day).

(This is from the school – I did not take this photo!)

Isabel is right in the middle of the picture behind a girl with a number 3 on her shirt and a tan coat.
You can only see Isabel’s little tiny head peaking out. Can you see her?

Did you eat lunch?” – Yes!! She liked the apples and caramel dip that I gave her with the PB&J sandwich. She said they were crispy and juicy!

Did you like it?” – Yes.

Did you have a good day?” – Yes.

Did you go to the moon?” – No.

Did you eat any bugs?” – No!!

This was great I enjoyed her responses and her laughing in the backseat. I will have to remember to do this again. There were other questions and answers but we can’t remember them and I didn’t write them down because I was driving home!
