Monday note Nov. 29, 2010

General
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break. I enjoyed mine with my friend from Minnesota. Now it is time to get back to work and get all of the myriad things done during this preChristmas time. Sometime next week we will decorating the room for Christmas. I decorate for an "old fashion" Christmas in that we string cranberries and popcorn for decorating the tree and we make paper ornaments. Therefore be thinking if you can pop come popcorn - unbuttered or purchase a bag of cranberries. I will be sending a note where you can volunteer to do that. The students also need a work shirt for that day so maybe be looking for an old shirt they can bring to school to work in. It can be an apron, but not too many have ever brought that. As part of the Christmas celebration, we have a cookie baking day to make the cookies for the class party. The mixing and baking day will be Thurs. Dec. 16 in the afternoon. If you would like to help with that, mark that afternoon on your calendars. A note will be sent home about that also. Then mark DEC. 8th for the band and handbell concert in the evening and DEC 15 for the school Christmas program.
Work
Memory for Friday is I Thess 5:16-18 on page 51. There will be a spelling list tomorrow with a test on Friday. The Science test was returned today. It should be signed or a note sent in by Mon. Dec. 6th. We started a new chapter in Soc. St. today and we will do one more chapter about explorers before Christmas. I am going to make sure the Soc. St. is completed and not start a new chapter in Science before Christmas. We will complete half of the English chapter and test on that 1/2 before Christmas. Monthly Memory for Nov. is due tomorrow and the Monthly Memory for Dec. is the meaning to the Close of the Commandments and the Introduction to the Lord's Prayer. The book report for Nov. is due tomorrow and the new topic is reading a Christmas story to the class. I will explain it to the class and I have a large collection of Christmas stories to choose from or they can choose on from home. They have to practice reading the book and be able to present/read it to the class. So the work is to practice the book, being able to read it clearly and smoothly with expression and to be able to show the pictures. There is no writing assignment with it. But it will start some time next week so we can get them all done.
Sports
There are practices this week on Mon. and Wed. There is an away game on Thurs I believe. On Friday and Saturday is the Spartan Classic. We host a 5th and 6th grade boys basketball tournament here this weekend. You may be contacted to help with some of the activities for the tournament or you can volunteer. I don't know who to contact but I would start with Mr. Anders.

That is it for today.

Monday note 11-22-10

General
I hope all of you have a happy and special Thanksgiving. Remember to take some time with your family to think of all of the blessings we have received from God and to give Him special thanks. It is so easy to get wrapped up in the meal, football and the next day barrage of shopping that once again we forget to give Thanks to the one who provides it all for us. This is a short week with only 2 days and next week Dec and Advent begin. Thanks for the food items from last Friday for the dress down day. Mrs. Chilcutt and her team prepared nearly 80 food baskets for people in our church family.
Work
With a short week we have less work. There is no Friday memory since there is no Friday. There will be a spelling test tomorrow since we had only one spelling day last week. There is a science test tomorrow on chapter 3. We will start a new chapter in Social Studies after the break. We will be continuing the English chapter. There will be math as usual. There are only 2 days of Nov. next week and the book report and the monthly memory need to be completed by Tues. Nov. 30.
Sports
There is practice today and an away game tomorrow at St. Peter, Macomb. Then there is nothing till next Monday for a practice.

That is all for this week.

In His Service,
