assignments for 10/10/08

Good Morning,

I hope I'm early enough getting assignments out to not delay your school day. We had a busy day again yesterday. Science may have been my personal favorite. Of course, the sumo wrestling we did at the end of the day was pretty exciting. Ask you student all about it!

Your children are doing great and in my opinion are learning alot as well. Please keep me informed as to how things are going at home.

I'll be brief because I have a ladies Bible Study at my church this morning. It nourishes my soul. I pray each of you Moms can find a way to take time for that. We will all be better teachers in our homeschools if we can make time to hear from God.

love to all,
Mrs. Tkach
