Week 10

Snack this week was Black THANK YOU! Next week I have Walker up to bat.  Week 12 is open if anyone wants it??

I wish to thank everyone for such lovely condolences and prayers.  I know my head was in a bit of a fog, but with such graciousness from your children, it helped to brighten an otherwise sad day yesterday.  THANK YOU for sharing your bundle of joys with me!!

Testing Schedule and end of year business:

• Look for a permission skip to come home with your child next week.  This is where you can communicate with me if you wish your child to have an adult with them at all times in the mall or if they can split off into a group of at least 3.  
• Week 11 Africa Test - no terms
• Week 12 Australia Test - no terms
• Week 13 Oceania Test - Mega Term Test
• Week 14 Latin Final, Dissection
• Week 15 Apologetic paper due, Literature paper due, Science Final, Geography Big World Final

Yes 5 weeks left UNREAL!!!  A note on dissection.  I realize that this is no longer in the guide!  However, I will still provide this.  I feel it has almost become a right of passage.  If your child does not wish to participate in this, please let me know and we can find another activity for them that hour.  If you have not gotten final payment in, please do so soon.  Your child's tutor next year cannot enter them into their class until there balance is clear ;)
