Christmas is coming… Christmas concert 12/14. Hope to see you all. There are a few extra practices early in the week.

Science: Unit 2: Watery Planet
Religion: The real meaning of Christmas and how we can stay focused on that.

No Weekly Reading homework this week.
Your children brought in Christmas verses for a bulletin board display. A few students brought in John 3:16: For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, so whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life. I have been thinking of how amazingly awesome this is. This verse sums up what I think to be the most important thing: God creating a way for us to go to Him. Wow ….What a gift.. His Son.. Just something to think about..
Have a wonderful Christmas season. Thank you for your support and all you do to help your children in becoming such funny, smart, caring kids.
