Totally tubular terrific Tuesday! (students...what is that called? Hint: Lit class today!)

We had a few students who had unfinished assignments today. For the first one at the beginning of the year, I do give them a "gimmee" but the next one will be a late slip.

The students are given ample time during the day to get their work done and at the end of the day to check their work. They are to keep their finished assignments in their binders and unfinished work in their "Homework Folders" which goes home EACH night. Please look for this folder and check over any work before signing their assignment notebook.  I have been drilling this process each day and am confident that we will see results in fewer late slips...but I need your help - thank you!

Homework:

Christ Light (from Monday) - Ws. 2a on Jesus' Birth
Catechism - Ws. 1 on the Bible and Teachings (ask your student about the "With Your Family" section!)
Math - Lesson 4
English - 5) Wb.3 and 6) Ws. 2
Science - Lesson 1 Outline
World History - Wb. 7 on Culture changes
Spelling - Assignment from Monday
Handwriting - Rosner Dots and specified letters - 10 times each

Tomorrow is PE day! We will continue with our team building activities.

WoD: fans

Blessings on your evening!

Good Evening!

Sorry for the late post tonight. With volleyball season just getting under way, these later posts may be more frequent until October.

We had a great "normal" day today. Other than the bloody noses and losing teeth, it went smoothly. Great bunch of kids so far... kudos to the parents! We also to the school picture to spell out, "TLS". I am so excited to see the outcome - Thank you to NE's dad for taking the picture for us and being brave enough to climb on the roof!

Homework:

Christ Light - Lesson 1a on the announcement of the births of John and Jesus (Luke 1:5-56)
Math (5) - Lesson 1 EVENS
Math (6) - Lesson 1 EVENS
Current Events - Read pgs. 2-7 of magazine and complete worksheet for next Thursday

Tomorrow is Friday! The students will enjoy starting some new classes with another adjusted schedule and their first Art class with Mrs. Naker. If students did not bring a paint shirt yet, please bring that tomorrow.

God's Blessings,

Miss Lau
