Homework:

Reading – 20 minutes per day.  Even over vacation J. 

Bible:   “One Solitary Life” . We are memorizing this for a chapel on December 15^th.  Please come!

City Gates:   Our school has adopted many families from the area, through the local outreach organization, City Gates.  Our class’s “adoptee” is a working low-income family with two kids. If you’d like to help, please send the items to school but don’t wrap them,  We will have a wrapping party here at school.   Here are some of their needs and ideas for gifts:

            Boy (10)  Pant (size 10 with adj. waist), Shirts (M) Shoes (4.5)  RC cars/trucks, books, notepads,

            Girl (8) Pants (size 8 with adj. waist) Shirts (M) Shoes, 4.5,  notepad, colored pencils, stuffed animals,                Barbie, anything from “Frozen”, books

            Mom-  Pants (16), shirts xl) shoes (6.5) heated blanket

            Dad-  Pants (34x32) Shirts XL, Shoes (12)

            Regarding the clothes for the parents: sometimes it is best to give a gift card so they can choose what  fits!

Computers:  Please help them practice keyboarding at home to increase mastery. It should be a regular part of homework.   We use Freetypinggame.net.     Mavis Beacon and Type to Learn are also good programs.  The BIG thing is for them to learn to keep their fingers in the proper, home row, position.  They want to hunt and peck.
