Our Day and Assignments for 1/27/09

Greetings!

I've just returned from Summerville where the Beaufort High Lady Eagles dominated the Summberville Green Wave (our arch rivals)! YEAH! Forgive me. It was a great evening at my house.

We also had a great day. I hope everyone still loves me even though I sent dirt home with your student. Please, before they are destroyed, ask your child what they are. During Literature, we "churned" butter like Edward's family had to. Even Riddock (who has readily eaten turnips and Borscht) was hesitant to taste the butter. Once he finally did, several others joined him and enjoyed the fruit of our labors. We are mid way through a lab testing how different particles will settle in science. Bible included a good discussion of leprosy. We talked about pain actually being a good thing. We moved into talking about the pain of a guilty conscience being good if it pushes us to make our wrongs right.

Enjoy this calm time of year with your child. Watch them when they don't know you are and thank God for at least 5 things about them.

Until Tuesday. . . . .

love,
Mrs. Tkach
