our day's review and assignments for next time

Dear Families,

We had a really fun day yesterday! I was so impressed with the students doing the teaching! The history reports were outstanding! Sorry, I'm not going to hand over any of my paycheck, though! We missed the Langehans very much and prayed for you. Spencer's brother, Ethan, joined us and Mrs. Victoria was our busy helper. Thank you.

Here are some things to ask your student about as they recount our day to you: How did Dr. Beaumont learn so much about the workings of the stomach back in 1822? Does God have favorites like Jacob did? What is the new chant to memorize in Latin? Why were the rebels in China called "the Boxers"? How is the name Carnegie pronounced in Pittsburgh, PA? What cruel practice was outlawed in China that kept girls feet small? What David-sized country defeated what Goliath-sized country for expansion in China? How many steps would Chloe have to take on the Oregon trail?

The inventions were awesome! We had a balloon launcher, a pair of safety shoes for around broken Christmas ornaments, a Christmas Box from the planet "Morf" (awesome that they worship Christ just like us!), an actual working pontoon boat for Webkins, a safety hammock for a pet bunny, and a cat mobile. The whole school came out to the courtyard at 1:45 and enjoyed our demonstrations.

Check you e-mail often this week. I'm working on an idea for my class for Christmas. Enjoy each other and work hard at your studies!

love,
Mrs. Tkach
