My school is in a big old building at the end of a quiet street.

Everybody here knows my name.

Good morning Isabel!

Ms. Procter is the Head of School.

She always gives me a hug.

We start the day with a morning meeting.

Today we talk about our favorite foods.

I like pizza with mushrooms.

We’re reading The Day the Crayons Came Home.

Ms. Nelson asks, “What’s your favorite place at home?” I like to build a fort under the dining room table.

I like to play in my older brother’s room!

In Singapore Math we sort and count and graph all the colors of the crayons.

I find out that we have six different types of yellow.

It’s called a cochlear implant!

At recess I ask Jordan to play cats and dogs with me. But he doesn’t hear me.

He’s deaf and he wears a special device to help him hear.

Dr. Lucero helps us realize that his device was turned off.

In the Makerspace, Dr. Patterson asks us to work together to build a home that all the puppets in the classroom can live in.

We decide that it needs to be very tall!

Tomorrow, we’ll paint it in Art.

The sunflowers we planted have become giants!

They are taller than I am.

We are collecting seeds to make seed butter.

It’s Burger Truck Day! Should I get a burger or a grilled cheese and a salad?

I definitely want strawberries. . .

In PE we do a yoga warmup.

I practice Belly Bear Breathing.

A surprise! Our sixth-grade buddies meet us at the library. My buddy Satya reads me a book about a treehouse.

I go to Girls Club Jr. after school.

Ms. Camacho teaches us about a famous engineer who helped make a giant bridge.

It’s time to go home.

I’m happy to see Grandma, and I have important things to tell her.

Grandma, I made a house and a bridge today!
