     Last week we finished our Set 1 A and B Christ Light books.  The children may keep those books at home now.  We will be getting our Set 2 books this week.
     On Tuesday we will be using our dimes for math class.  If you have not sent the 10 dimes and 5 nickels, please do so.  Thank you.
     During the week of December 2 - 5 we will be having a class spelling bee.  The words that will be used in the contest are being sent home.  If you would like to help your child achieve his best success help him to look over those words for the spelling bee.  The winner of our classroom contest, along with those of the other classrooms, will receive a special certificate on the day of the upper grade school spelling contest.
      Our class trip is this Wednesday.  You do not have to send a lunch on that day.  We will be having lunch at McDonald's.  Our bus will leave school around 10:00.  After having lunch we will attend the 12:30 performance of the play and return back to school by closing time.  Any parents who wish to car pool should be at school by 9:45. 
GOD'S BLESSINGS!

     Happy November!  It's a month to reflect on all of our blessings.  Your children will certainly be counted among them.  I would suppose at the top of each of our lists will be the same blessing...Jesus, our Savior.  There is so much for which to be thankful!
     What a beautiful sound to Jesus' ears as our Faith students joined their voices on Sunday to sing His praise.  Sola Fide!
     Friday was a very busy and special day.  We had a birthday boy, Alex L., in our classroom.  Also, going to the play at WLA was a lot of fun.  Thank you to those who helped get the children to and from school.
     Because Friday was so busy our memory treasure from Friday will be studied and assigned this Friday instead.  We will have our Unit 3 spelling test on Tuesday.  (The children will be glad to have the extra day to study.)
SPEND THE WEEK COUNTING YOUR BLESSINGS!
