Helping Out

Today our friends Steve and Cooper came over for some help.

Cooper is entering a pinewood derby race next weekend with his AWANA group and they wanted some help getting Cooper’s car ready for the race. We’d be glad to help!

We purchased Isabel a monster truck so she could have something to build along with Cooper. Enjoy!

First Grade: Day 133

Today is Thankful Thursday and it’s P.E. with Mrs. S. Today’s P.E. class was cancelled due to class pictures being taken in the gym. P.E. class will return in 3 weeks.

Not much was said today about what was done in class I think she’s just excited about spring break, as I am.

First Grade: Day 132

Today is Wonderful Wednesday!

It’s music class with Mr. G and computer lab with Mrs. T.

Music class was cut short due to a performance in the Sanctuary by the Drama Club. They did an adaptation of “Charlotte’s Web“. I heard the play was very good and Isabel said she really enjoyed it too. I wanted to go but I was working.

In computer lab they did 4 AR tests, just after lunch recess.

Today was class pictures for Isabel. Tomorrow is staff group picture and also class pictures with my Preschool 3’s.
