Happy Monday!

Hope you and your families enjoyed your weekend....even with a project due this morning!
These posters look TERRIFIC!  Thank you for your help and support.

A couple of things:
-Tutoring will be held TUESDAY this week until 4:00 p.m.
-Graded papers will come home on Tuesday.  I apologize for the delay.

If you have any questions or just want to discuss how your child is doing, I'm here!

"Let us hold unswervingly to the faith we profess, for He who promised is faithful." Col 10:23

Math tutoring on Thursday is "on"!

Everyone is welcome who would like to come.  All you need is a desire to improve and a ride home!
(although some days, I'd adopt 'em all!)

Blessings to your families.......

I miss my 6th graders!

Don't get me wrong, I had a great weekend and enjoyed my family, but I'm looking forward to Monday!

Thursday and Friday's ACSI Conference was inspiring and challenging.  I did my share of sitting, but it was worth it.  One of my favorite "take-a-ways" was about the importance of modeling thankfulness,especially in our culture today.  

Another crucial topic, I thought, was helping our students begin to form their Christian Worldview.
At home I hope you're seeing life through the lense of eternity and sharing it with your children as much as you can!

A full week lies ahead.  We finish Black Beauty this week, start to learn about the geography and indigenous Indians of the eastern United States, and practice math skills in groups.

I'll pray you have a productive week and see God's hand at every turn!

Blessings!

Colossians 3:15 ESV 

"And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful."

I'm sure the kids are looking forward to tomorrow being a Thursday/Friday and no school for a day.
Meanwhile, I really am looking forward to meeting with many of you.

Just thought I'd make sure the message got conveyed that the Canada notecards are due on MONDAY, Oct. 14 (I guess the 4 got omitted- sorry!)
We had a  talk in class today about plagiarism and being careful in that arena.

Also, students can practice the Canadian provinces/territories and capitals here:

We'll have a quiz next week.

One last thing-  I will still tutor on Thursday (tomorrow!) until 4 pm.

Hope you'll enjoy a wonderful weekend with your family.

"I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth." 3 John 1:4

And they did while I was out sick on Friday!  The class is to be offered a thanks for their good behavior and keeping the class running smoothly (with jobs, following procedures and what not).

Remember: No School for students on Friday.  Lucky ducks!

If you'd like to schedule a conference, it's not too late.  Just call the office @ 838-7427.  Be sure to preface if you'd like to meet with Mrs. Stewart as well.  She has a different schedule than I do this year.

Progress reports are do back on Wednesday, and pictures will come home on Monday.  They're SO cute! (okay, handsome, boys.)

Students should be studying their History maps this week.  It's Map Mastery #4 on p. 363.

Also, there will be Language References to study this week.  (a Test not until the following week)

Blessings to you and your families!  I'm overjoyed to be teaching your children!
