Wow! Talk about a foggy morning. Could only see 2 houses down!
It was back to school this morning. Isabel was feeling better from her bad afternoon on Wednesday. So glad she was able to get back into class since tomorrow is her birthday. We had a surprise for her during school…
She said she had to wear her “headphones” on the way to school.
The opening activity was backward circle line practice with the letter “Oo“.
Back: backward circle practice small “Oo“. Awesome job with the little “o“.
Math work (she was working on this when we arrived!) Write the numbers, add them up, and draw an object for each number. Isabel drew hearts and marbles.
Back: math work. Her numbers are improving.
Finishing her work (above photos) up before sharing cupcakes with her class!
The class was excited to see the cupcakes, since they had cupcakes yesterday too because today was Nevan’s birthday and they celebrated his birthday yesterday. Tomorrow is Isabel’s!

(several of the kids were missing from class today)
After we left the kids went outside for recess. Isabel said she got to play with some boys from the other class but they started to be rough.

No school today, Isabel hasn’t been feeling since she got home yesterday.
10 more school days until day 100! I know that the class is getting excited and Isabel mentions it more and more as the day gets closer and closer.
This morning it was raining hard as we headed off to school and continued on and off all morning long. Later in the afternoon we even got a few spots of sunshine before the clouds broke up just as the sun was dipping in the sky.
Today was Move-up day for Preschool through 5th grades at school. Isabel and her class got to visit 1st grade! (No show and tell this week because of it)
She said going to 1st grade was fun and they even got to sit in the desks like first-graders! The first-grade teacher read the story “The Fat Cat Book: A Danish Folktale” by Jack Kent to them. Isabel said she really liked it and I told her I remember that book and I liked it too!
When they got back to their own classroom again, they played the game “Doggy Doggy Where is Your Bone?”. Isabel said she didn’t get picked to be the dog this time but she had fun anyway.
Front: math work.
Back: number writing. She did a great job!
A portrait.
When I asked her who it was (thinking it was Audrey or someone else), she said, “Its’ me! Because of the space in the middle!” Ha-ha!
After class Isabel told me her tummy wasn’t feeling well and she didn’t want to eat her snack…

The clouds broke apart and the sun came out the whole time Isabel was in school. I was so excited, thinking she would get to ride her scooter again around the neighborhood… not! After school the clouds closed up and it began to rain. Bummer! Sometimes I hate living in the PNW, today was one of them!
Not much was said about school today. She did tell me the Bible story is about Moses and Mishy missed class again today.
Chapel was today and Pastor Shawn, from the church, gave the message about the “fruits of the Spirit” listed in Galatians 5:22-23. Which are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self control. Just like real fruit on a tree, we also get pruned in order to bear more fruit. Reading the Bible helps us to learn and grow.
Opening activity; backward circle lines.
Front: phonics with a “Bb“.
I love how she did her name at the name, it’s perfect and then down below she gets all crazy with the “Bb’s“.
During class today Isabel lost her fourth tooth. She was super excited because it happened at school! She said she was eating her snack when she felt her tooth come loose. She said it was bloody and she went to the bathroom, where another girl helped her wet a paper towel to get the blood to stop. Mrs. Boettcher put her tooth in a small envelope so she could bring it home.
When we stopped for gas on the way home, I was able to get a few photos…
Her new smile!
A close-up of her new smile. It’s looking more and more like a big girl smile.
BTW… that bit of flesh poking up is just part of her gum and was back to normal the following day.
Today was a typical Monday morning except I got to school a bit earlier then normal for me to get photos of classroom.
The opening activity; backward circles. I love this picture! She was so focused on it before I left the classroom. Great job!
It’s a penguin habitat along the east classroom wall.
I was finally able to get the snowman photographed from the homework assignment from 2 weeks ago. With the winter weather we had, she turned it in on Monday the 23rd and they were hung on Friday the 27th.
“Jesus Loves the Little Children” front board in class.
Each child “reported” to the whole class, on a different country of their choosing. After going to the library and looking at a huge book with all 280 countries of the world; Isabel choose Denmark as her snowman’s country.
From left to right: Hawaii, Untied States (the whole country), and Hawaii.
(Isabel keeps telling us that Hawaii is a country!)
Left to right: Hawaii, Viking, United States, and (not sure).
Left to right: (not sure), Japan, Denmark, United States, and United States.
Left to right: Both are United States, just a closer look.
Left to right: United States, Switzerland, Untied States (Military), and Philippines (turned around), and Mexico.
Left to right: Philippines, Mexico, and Scotland.
Left to right: Scotland, Untied States, and United States.
Left to right: Australia and South Africa.
I love them all! The individuality of each one is awesome! What a great way to get kids into early book reporting and research. Isabel enjoyed doing it and gathering research for her country that she choose. We found a small book on Denmark at the library and I went over just a few of the highlights with her about it. A few days after talking about Denmark for her project, Denmark was in the news, about their queen Margrethe II. Who was celebrating 40 years of reign in her country! We got to watch the carriage procession on T.V. That was cool!
After class Isabel was really excited because her 4th tooth fell out! (see this post)
Nothing else was said about the day, except that she did MAP testing instead of going to recess. For the next 3 consecutive Mondays, she’ll be doing mid-year MAP testing.
