Storytime With Isabel

Isabel brought a book home today which she made and she is supposed to read it to at least 3 people!!!! I know some of you haven't seen her read yet! I hope you enjoy! It's crazy how fast she is learning! She was also having a good hair day, so we decided to leave it down....he he.

Funniest video EVER!

Samual's Favorite Treat!

Hi! If you haven't seen Saumual's video yet, check it out!

A "buh" with a "oooooohhh" chunk!

It's amazing what Isabel comes home saying! She is learning so much in Kindergarten, I just can't believe how fast. Today I went to Curriculum night where her teacher talks about what the goals are and what the class is learning and even how they are learning how to read and write.....pretty cool.

So, I realized what she meant the other day when she READ HER FIRST WORD (at least in front of me)! We were watching her favorite YouTube video (I subscribe to lots of crafting videos....he he...and there are a couple she LOVES to watch). In one of the videos, a woman makes a cool Halloween card that says "boo" (below is the video, if you happen to want to see it...it's pretty darn cool). Anyway, we're watching the video and she goes....."Mommy, I know what that says. It says "boo". And my eyes get super big and I go....."how do you know that, honey?" She says, "cuz it has a buh with a ooooh chunk".

As it so happens, her teacher, Mrs. Finan, explains today at Curriculum Night how they are learning how to read "chunks" like the "an" chunk in the word ran and can and so on.......so if they learn the chunks, they can learn lots of other words with different letters before (and after) the chunk. Does that make sense? Anyway, thought that was a cool story...now I know why I've been going around the house these past 3 days saying "a buh with a ooooh chunk"! SO CUTE!

OH! SO FAR, ISABEL HAS $31 IN DONATIONS FOR THE FUN RUN (he he......it's from her mommy and papa).......

Here's the video!

Will you sponsor me?

Donations are due by September 30th

Hi! It's Isabel!

Will you please sponsor me in the Falcon Fun Run at my school? Our school PTA is trying to earn $26,000 so we can buy more stuff to climb and slide on at recess, and pay for school activities. I like to go to like Math Night, Dr. Seuss Night and Bingo Night. I can also earn some prizes if I help bring in a lot of donations, so that's a good thing too.

Please reply if you can help me to raise money (because I will need to record your name and donation amount on my form). If you want to save time and donate by using a computer, you can do that too. There's picture of the play structure we are trying to buy on our school PTA website and a button to donate money (don't forget to tell me if you donated through the website so I can write it down). I heard it was pretty easy to do. Here's the address: http://www.forestviewpta.org/. (By the way, I had help with this).

Love,

Isabel

Look What I Can Do!

Wanted to let everyone know my videos have improved! Here's my newest one!

Isabelly's first day of school!

Here's our Isabel! I managed to get her into bed by about 9:30pm (waaay earlier than she usually goes to bed)! She woke up all bright-eyed and excited for her first day of school! I was fine up until her teacher started to take them inside....and from nowhere...my eyes started to well up with tears!!!! He he......I'm happy....but nervous....but luckily our little girl is brave and bold and can handle lots of things on her own! Wheeew! Enjoy the photos!
