Our last day of March and assignments for 4/3/09

Dear Families,

We had a great day of learning. We reviewed two lessons in Bible with word searches and matching pages. We're back in the book for Latin--covering lesson 20 but still working on the Pater Noster. In history, the children seemed to know more than me about Napoleon and Russia. I taught mostly about the War of 1812, Dolly Madison, The Star Spangled Banner, etc. We zoomed through two grammar lessons. Mrs. Amy McNeal helped us and then Mrs. Able came in when she had to leave for a meeting. Many thanks!

In Literature, we went over homework and then worked on our teepees and built canoes for our Indian Village. Whew! The directions looked so easy on the internet--it turned out to be a struggle but we finished them. We'll make little people on Friday and then set it up for viewing at pick-up and we'll take lots of pictures as well. We read a book about Neptune but did not do the lab yet. The teepees and canoes had us worn out!

Remember, after Friday, we have two weeks off for Spring Break. Take good care of each other and I will see you Friday.

love,
Mrs. Tkach
