assignments for Tuesday, 10/28/08

Dear Families,

Personally, I'm glad to be back to our regular schedule. Friday was a good day--not much fun, I'm afraid, but good. Any school day with TWO tests and rain can't be fun. Your students were troopers and I'm proud of them. Mrs. Stokes, Riddock's mom, was a great help and I appreciate her.

When we were finishing William Bradford everyone was to sad it was over. We're feeling the same way as we just have a short time left with Sherry in Mr. Revere and I. Next we'll go to France and read about The Three Musketeers.

We're leaving Esther having talked about the important lesson of doing what God wants us to and what is right even when it is very hard to do. I assured them it is a life-long struggle to apply that lesson to your life.

We're beginning a new study in Science about rocks and minerals. We are going to learn how to test rocks and determine what kind of sample they are.

A note about History. Last year, we skipped some of the chapters of SOTW to accommodate the length of the Trinity school year. This year we will touch on every chapter to be sure our students have a taste of what was going on all over the world during this time period. You will see that some chapters we will not go into as deep of a study as others.

We have some fun things planned as the holidays approach. Keep reading the newsletter for updates. Enjoy your children this weekend!

love,
Mrs. Tkach
