assignment update 12-17-10

Hello to anyone out there who may be checking this.
First of all I hope all of you have a Blessed and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

There are a few things that you need to know
Math - my class should work on corrections if they didn't get them done before break.

Extra - The upper grades are involved in an academic talent festival at Lutheran High North in March. There is a religion component in the program. The upper grades work with Pastor Hoft learning about the religion topic. This year the topic is Gospel harmony and the life of Christ. This will start after Christmas. Over vacation Pastor Hoft asked that all the students do a family tree for as much as you know. This would be grandparents, great-grandparents and also uncles and aunts. Mrs. Buss, who is the faculty coordinator, told the class today, but they may not remember.

Thank you for any gifts that were shared, I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness.
This will be the last blog till next year - Jan. 2011

Math - my math class has problem 3 on page 253, I think they have it done. Then they should do any corrections they have not turned in from lessons 46 to 50. Mr. Anders' class doesn't have an assignment

Memory - they should have their Luke 2 or Matt. 2 verse ready for tomorrow and if they don't have the Monthly Memory done they should do that since it is due tomorrow.

Religion - I did assign half of the cross word puzzle on page 212 for tomorrow. We did the across together in class.

Don't forget to send in the exchange gift tomorrow and put who it is to on the outside and who it is from on the inside.

Don't forget the STARBASE information sheets, I would like to have them tomorrow if possible.

Tomorrow is a dress down day, it is bring in a food item for the food pantry.

That is it for today.

assignment update and other information 12-15-10

Math - we will have class tomorrow and will start an investigation.They should also have corrections done through lesson 50. (especially since they had 2 extra days to work on it) Mr. Anders' class should have lesson 53

English - we covered lesson 7 today in class and there will be a test on Chapter 3 lessons 1-7 tomorrow.

Memory for Friday - everyone chose a verse from Luke 2:1-20 or 4 selected verses from Matt. 2. They will recite their verse before we start our Christmas party on Friday. I will listen to how well they know it and asses a grade at that time. I would hope they all know it so we can hear the Christmas story before we party. They should look at the verse the comes before their verse so they know when they need to say theirs.

Reading - those students scheduled to read last Thurs. should be ready tomorrow and the first 2 students from Monday should be ready just in case there is time.

Monthly Memory is due on Friday by the time I leave.

Other
Everyone has a sheet with information about what utensils they need to bring for their cookies tomorrow. The name of their partner is on the bottom and that is whom you should contact if there are any questions. They also need their work shirts or aprons. If you volunteered to help please come around 12:30 tomorrow, we will work in the cafeteria.

Tonight
We meet in the church choir room between 6:30 and 6:45 please make sure you are here by 6:45. You may pick your child up at a designated spot anywhere from the big entry doors on the right side to somewhere out in the narthex. Picking them up by the choir loft will create too much congestion.

Sports
The basketball game from Tues has been cancelled. Monday's game will be made up on Friday at St. Peter Macomb at the regular times. The game tomorrow is as scheduled. The players and cheerleaders have a note about this information.

Christmas - Friday
Your child should bring in the exchange gift on Friday. Put who the gift is to on the outside and who it is from on the inside.

Hope you the snow days worked out ok for you. It has made a whole new excitement to this week.

That is it for today.

General
Happy Saint Nicholas Day. If I were the age of your children I would be writing my Christmas list and putting it in one of my socks and pinning it to one of the drawers of my dad's desk tonight. Saint Nicholas would come tonight and get our lists and leave us a candy bar and maybe some little pieces of candy. Then Saint Nicholas would give the list to Santa Claus so he know what we wanted for Christmas. For us now in 2010 it is the first day of the last 2 weeks of school before Christmas vacation. Tomorrow is decorating day, remind your child to bring in their work shirt for decorating. If you are sending cranberries or popcorn send it in also tomorrow. If you want to help with cookie baking next week, please send in the slip so I know if and who I have helping. We will be selecting cookie recipes from cookbooks this Thurs. so if you have a good cookbook with normal not real fancy cookies you can send that in on Thurs. I have a pretty good collection. I will tell this to the class also. The music Christmas concert is Wed. in the gym. I think the beginning band needs to be here at 6:00 pm. There is a dress down day this Friday with a free will donation going to Jamie Smiles Program. There will be a note tomorrow explaining the Jamie Smiles Program. Next Wed. is the school Christmas Program. The midterm is this Friday. We are trying to do midterms this time on line by having you check "Fast Direct" for your child's grades. Then you would need to email me or send in a note that said you saw the midterm.

Work
This weeks memory is Isaiah 9:6 on page 211. There will be a spelling list and test this week.
I am working on trying to finish the first 7 lessons in English on this verb chapter and have a test before Christmas vacation. I am not sure if we will get the Social Studies information completed or not. It will be tight to get it done and have the test. We started sharing Christmas stories today. Your child has their date and it will be adapted since we got behind already today.

Sports
Congratulations to the boys team for winning the Spartan Classic this weekend. There is an away game and Thurs. this week. The boys have a tournament at Lutheran High Northwest.
The girls have practice Wed and Friday.

That is it for this week.
