Notes:

            Chapel: We have started practicing for our chapel service on the 19th.  At home, you may want to go over the lines of the service with your child.  Feel free to help him or her add expression to the words and memorize the lines so we are prepared for Wednesday. 

            Science: With only a week and a half before our next science test, it is important to start reviewing as soon as possible.  Each family received a set of flashcards at conferences.  Have your child work with the vocabulary from Chapter 9 so that it comes easily for the test.

            Fieldtrip:  Our trip to the Museum of Science and Industry is scheduled for next Friday, Nov. 21.  Our class will be doing a workshop on Simple Machines while we are there.  Please remember to pack a cold lunch for your child – no microwaves will be available.

Children’s Choir sings Saturday! Please have your child come directly to the balcony before the service.  Church starts at 6:00pm.
