It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing.

It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving.

Dear families,

   

    Next week we will read and discuss the first chapter in our Family Life Series, “The Gift of Life”.  Through this study we will learn how we can show respect for God’s gift of life, that every person has limitations,  and how God created people of both genders to be equal and complementary.

    The Chapter 1 math test has been moved to Wednesday, September 29th.  Students are asked to take their math books and the pre-test (pp.48 & 49) home to further prepare for the test.

    There will be a California geography test next Friday, October 1st.  The students are expected to label the 26 geographical locations discussed in class.  Study guides as well as three maps of California were distributed this week so that the students can study.

    Calling all bakers!  I am looking for a volunteer to bake rolled sugar cookies for our class.  We will also need a few batches of frosting prepared.  Our project is scheduled for Thursday, September 30th.  Please let me know if you are interested.  -Thanks! 

    Mark your calendars!  On the morning of Thursday, October 21st, we will attend the Oakland Symphony. 

    Book reports will be written in class the week of Monday, October 4th.
