Operation Christmas Child – Thanks to all who participated in filling boxes for Operation Christmas Child this year. We offered them up during our chapel service on Wednesday along with our prayers for those who will receive them.
Science City – A huge thank you to those who helped with transportation and chaperoning for our field trip last Friday! Also, thank you to those who have already submitted payment for your ticket. (I needed to prepay for them to get the group rate of $11 rather than the regular $18 price.) Please send in the reimbursement for your tickets by next week. Thank you.
Social Studies test – We will be taking our Chapter 2 test on the Region of Europe next Wednesday. Students should bring their study guides home on Monday.
Book Reports – Most students have chosen a fiction book they would like to present for their book reports. Below you will find the book report information again. Completed posters will be due on Monday, December 15.
For our reading, we are using the book “Thanksgiving on Thursday” by Mary Pope Osborne as part of a book study. The students are working with a Reader’s Notebook as we read this historical fiction.

Memory work for November 20: The Close of the Commandments. What does God say about all of these commandments? He says: “I the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate Me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love Me and keep My commandments.” Exodus 20:5-6.
