Today is Terrific Tuesday and it’s Chapel and library.

Today’s Chapel was given by Principle Mrs. B. Isabel said she talked about finding your talents. There was also “special guests“, who spoke during Chapel as well.

Our campus also had a visit from our schools high school kids. They came to campus to read with the kids, just hang out and help wherever there was a need. They helped out in Isabel’s (my class too) class and were even around for Chapel. It was great having them around. They will be visiting our campus on again on Thursday as well.

Otherwise nothing else was said about her day.

This week I am working again all week. I am helping out with the Preschool 4’s class with Mrs. Thompson. The P4’s has both an a.m. class and a p.m. class. The a.m. class has 18 students and the p.m. class has 17 students.

Today is Thankful Thursday and it’s P.E. with Mrs. S.

Today is day 4 of “missions week” and the whole school (preschool – 6th grade) went on a mission’s tour in the gym. Each student was given a “passport” booklet for their tour. After visiting each table and hearing about the country the missionary served in, the students were given a stamp in their booklet. Isabel said they learned about the food (some tables had samples!) and the people that live there. Isabel said she had fun learning about missions this week and she got to see and hear Mrs. W several times.

From one of the tables she got this. However she can’t remember where she put her “passport”.

Classwork…

For P.E. they played “sharks and widows“, “pac-man” and “clean the yard“! Out of those 3 games, Isabel says she likes to play “clean the yard” best.

After P.E. the class had a Easter party hosted by one of the parents.

• finish science project that started yesterday. – Each table in class put a raw egg in a glass of vinegar yesterday. Today the class took out their eggs and observed what had happened to the egg.
• scavenger hunt. – The class went outside to a patch of dirt and hunted for items.
• discuss egg findings in groups.
• Easter story related to eggs. – Someone read to them “The Thornbush” by Michael Laughlin, “The Story of Easter for Children” by Beverly Rae Wiersum and another book that Isabel couldn’t remember.
• Easter “egg” snack. – Easter eggs filled with ham, cheese, grapes, and jellybeans.
• toilet paper “grave” story. Isabel couldn’t remember what this was about.

Sounds like they had a very busy fun filled day!
