Wed. Worship and Pictures

Tomorrow is the day we begin with worshipping our Lord.

Pictures for the yearbook will begin after worship.

If you own something in a shade of red please wear it for our "heart" picture.
Your child can also dress in layers or bring a different shirt for our choir picture.

It will be a busy day of smiling!


Schoolwork VS Homework

My students seem confused as to when to accomplish their work.

We have plenty of class time devoted to your child being successful with their work.

Today I was shocked to find many students chosing to put away incomplete work to do things they wanted to do instead!  It is not my goal to cause hours of work at home!

Your child is directed and expected to complete work here and check it over at home.  If your child is arriving home with a great deal of incomplete homework you need to have a chat with them.

When it comes to "Schoolwork VS Homework" please make sure to insist on Schoolwork.
Homework should be checking over sentence structure and possibly finishing the last question.

We even learn most of our Memory Verses at school!  I am going to be using a new quick note for you it is TIC, this means Together In Class. Yes, some of the work your children make you struggle with is work we did Together In Class.

Save $, Spend $, and Homework!

You can save money by not buying anything for our auction basket.
You can spend money by outbidding one another for our classroom basket!

Our Auction Basket is going to be full of Art that is created by your children!  You can see the art at the auction and make a silent auction bid on it.  If you can't be at the auction you could let a trusted friend bid for you!  Make sure they have your cell phone number to clarify your bid.
