Monday newsletter 3-14-11

General
Special Person's Day went well Friday. Thank you for any part you may have had in getting someone to come or to have participated yourself. The members from the class represented us well at the Lutheran High North Talent Festival on Sat. Some of them won and some of them didn't. But they all prepared well and did their best which them winners in their own right. This week will be an almost normal week, which we haven't had in quite some time. The one change is chapel/church is at 10:00 am on Wed and math is early. The end of the 3rd Quarter is Friday and report cards will be sent home on Wed. the 23rd. Any late, absent or missing work needs to be in by Friday.
Work
Friday's memory is Philippians 2:13 on page 75. There will be a spelling test on Friday and they will receive their list and project tomorrow. There will be a test in Social Studies on Thurs. They have their notes, a map and a study guide to use to study for the test. We will review tomorrow. There are a Science and English tests coming up next week or the first part of the following week. My math class has a test tomorrow and lesson 80. All lesson corrections through lesson 80 need to be in by Friday. We graded lesson 78 and half of 79 today. They received the information on how to do the March book report today. Below is a note from Mrs. Brown about their upcoming writing project.

From Mrs. Brown: Your 5th grader has been given an intriguing assignment: decide if he/she believes if the Shroud of Turin is really the burial cloth of Christ, or a hoax. I've given the students a brief description of the Shroud, with some opinions for and against its authenticity. In class, we're watching "The Real Face of Jesus" DVD from the History Channel. That's just the starting point! I'd like your child, with your help, to do some research on-line to gather more information on the Shroud. Based on this research, I'd like your child to state his/her opinion about the Shroud and then fill in the chart (which will come home on Thursday, March 18) with three compelling reasons for his/her opinion, along with three subpoints under each reason. The subpoints must be related to the reason. We will use this as the basis for writing the opinion paper. Completed chart is due Tuesday, March 22nd.

That is all for this week
In His Service,
Deanna Hollrah
