Our First Day of 2009 and assignments for 1/9/09

Dear Families,

Oops! I almost forgot I needed to post the blog. Wow--I'm slow getting back in the swing of Trinity. We had a productive day. Once again I taught grammar earlier in the day and the students seemed more attentive. We eroded rocks, read in the jungle, and ate a special bread that dates back to the Turk's invasion of Vienna. Ask your children about these activities.

Please contact me concerning any questions or input you have. I enjoyed being back with my students. Many thanks to Woods' mom, Mrs. Beth. She felt ill and yet was a great help to me.

Until Friday,
Mrs. Tkach
