Today is Monday and it’s the first day back from Christmas vacation.
It was a long day for Isabel but she made it through; just a little sluggish toward the end.
Teacher Mrs. A is delayed back east delayed in a winter storm and will not be back until Friday. So the class has a substitute, Mrs. V for the week. Today, Mrs. V, forgot about recess. Isabel was bummed out about that since she had a few gifts to give to friends during that time. No big deal there is always tomorrow.
The Bible verse for this week is…
“In God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? – Psalm 56:11
S.a.T. this week is to share your favorite Christmas gift – anything! Just share! Isabel shared that she got a Nintendo 3D DS.
The new year brings with it new skills to learn at school like CURSIVE! Isabel has been wanted to learn this forever, she says. This week they will learn lowercase cursive; “i”, “t” and “u”. Teacher Mrs. A asks that the kids ONLY practice the letters that are given each week. Also NO NAMES are allowed in cursive!
