Anthony did a wonderful job teaching the class about The River Nile before our break.  Good job!   Each project has been unique and full of interesting facts.  The children are presenting with poise and confidence.

It will be Drew's turn to present on "Ancient Egyptian Hunting and Fishing" this Friday!  We are all excited to learn more about that.

I hope everyone had a restful break!  I am thankful for our wonderful school full of remarkable students and families. 

October and November have been busy and gone by in a flash!  This week I am hoping to have a slower week at school.  We will be working hard of course, but will not have extra events to prepare for.

Hagar and Ishmael is our Bible/History focus for the week.  We will continue in our grammar study of verbs and enjoy Mr. Popper's Penguins.

 This week:

Monday: We will be talking about Thanksgiving along with most of our usual subjects and we will begin our Sharing Feast preparations.  You have children with thankful hearts.  They have been making a "thankful chain" that is full of love for family, friends and life in general.  Look for spelling words/homework in your child's take-home folder!

Wednesday: We will be baking pumpkin bread for The Sharing Feast.  All baking supplies and ingredients will need to be at school! 

 

Friday:  1. Anthony will present about The River Nile.  2. Spelling Test  3. Sharing Feast  4. Early Release @ 11:45
