Our Fun Tuesday and assignments for February 1st
Greetings Families!
Before I forget, show-and-tell is next week! Many thanks to Mrs. Karen for helping make our busy day a success. We ate manna that was falling outside our tents in Bible, we learned lesson 15 in Latin (I think really well, too.) We added the large intestines and the liver to our bodies in science and reviewed the functions of all the organs we've been studying. We went over the geography portion of the memory work from the beginning as a review of the state capitals. We pressed on into week 15 in memory work and practiced our presentation for next week.
After lunch, we had a history lesson about Egypt and Italy. We discussed why the British wanted to keep their fingers in Egypt's business (Suez canal) and three facts about Italy: 1. Who became the ruler, 2. What kind of government he set up, and 3. What is that kind of government. See if your student can answer those questions for you.
Finally it was time for the fun. Our Purim celebration! I told them about some traditions associated with this holiday. Megillah is the scroll that contains the story of Esther. A Gragger is a noise maker to use whenever Haman's name is mentioned. The word Purim means lots--which is what Haman cast to see which Jews to murder first. We made two food baskets and delivered them to Pastor Jeff Miller and to Mrs. Carol, one of the custodians. Each child donated three 50 cent pieces to the Haiti relief fund in the church office. The grand finale was when Mrs. Nicole read the Megillah to us and we booed and hissed and stomped anytime Haman’s name was mentioned. A messy, good time was had by all!
Please pray for my Arianna who was home today battling a stomach bug. Her big sister Rebecca volunteered to skip classes and stay with her so I could come teach. Interestingly, I didn’t have to ask Rebecca twice!?!
Love to all,
Mrs. Tkach
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Read chapter 39 in the Bible Story Book.
2. Practice Week 15 memory work. Perfect your hand motions and recitation for next week’s performance.
3. Read Chapters 1 through 5 of The Bread Winner.
4. Skim Chapter 25 in history and read chapter 26.
5. Cover lesson 15 in Latin. Here is a breakdown for the week that you may want to use:
a. Complete part B on Wednesday.
b. Complete part C on Thursday.
c. Complete part D and F on Friday.
d. Complete part G and write lesson 16’s vocab and meaning 3 times each on Monday.
6. Thank God everyday for the privilege of learning along side of your precious children.

Dear Families,
We had a BUSY Tuesday. Chef Todd let us invade his kitchen and make hamentashen cookies like Sache did in our lit book. Some had "gold" pieces baked into them and some did not. Hopefully one made it home for you to see. Many thanks to Mrs. Tronda for being our helper. In Bible we discussed Passover and how it is still celebrated today. History was a bit brief but we did talk about the League of Nations that was an American President's idea and the man of steel--Joseph Stalin. Chloe had a picture of Lenin in his coffin that she shared with us. Another lit activity we "enjoyed" was mashing into a makeshift wagon and lying still while I read to them. This helped us to sympathize with the crowded ride Sache and her family endured while fleeing Russia. I have a friend with chickens and the thought did cross my mind. . . Ask your student the other thought that crossed my mind to make the experience real!
We did some more reading and discussing the digestive system in science. For geography I think the capitals are just about conquered. I'm proud of the students.
Latin: Well. . . I am sad that the students are so unhappy and I want to try to help. I want to breakdown the assignments that you do at home for you. Maybe that will make it less daunting. My plan is to press on with this curriculum since it was chosen by the board. I made some changes in how we had Latin in class and they seemed to "get it" a bit better.
In memory work, we presented our weeks. Sorry for such short notice. I've reassigned weeks below. Tronda pointed out that working on weeks out of sequence can be confusing to the children and of course, the point is for them to see the flow of history.
Please quiz them about our day. I feel it was quite successful.
Work hard on your studies, students, as if doing them for the Lord.
love,
Mrs. Tkach
p.s. I saw Riddock Sunday and he said to tell everyone hello!
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Read chapter 37 in our Bible Story Book
2. New assignments of Veritas Cards for our presentation to the school:
Mills: Weeks 1 and 2
Amelia: Weeks 3 and 4
Spencer: Weeks 5 and 6
Talia: Weeks 7 and 8
Woods: Weeks 9,10,11
Chloe: Weeks 12, 13, 14
3. Say the She'ma for you parents from Deut 6:4.
Read Ch. 107 and 108 in our Bible story book about Esther.
Finish reading the lit book.
4. read ch. 24 in SOTW
5. In Latin, we wrote lesson 14's words three times in class. Some didn't finish but they were easy words. Use your own discretion as to whether you want them to finish doing that. Here is a suggested schedule for the week:
Wednesday: finish writing the words 3 times if you so desire
------------- fill in the derivatives on part A. They are: 1. tempo, 2. annual, 3. semester, 4. hour, 5. punctual, punctuation, 6. solar, solarium, 7. meridian, 8. antediluvian, anterior, 9. posterior, 10. no answer, 11. diurnal, 12. procrastinate, 13. no answer, 14. move, movie, 15. no answer
------------- complete exercise B
Thursday: Complete exercise C.
Friday: Complete exercise D and E
Monday: Complete exercise F and G and write lesson 15's vocab words 3 times each. Let's see if this helps.
I had a meeting at the high school until almost 9:00 pm. That's my excuse for not having this posted last night. That was unusual and I hope to be more prompt in the future!

assignments for 1/19/10
Dear Families,
We had a busy Tuesday. We finished the Prince of Egypt for Bible, saw a snippet of Far and Away that gave us a visual of the difference between the peasant's life and the rich land-owner's life in Ireland. (I can't recommend this movie because of certain parts. However, I love sections of it to give the children vivid pictures of parts of history. For example, the life of immigrants upon arriving in America, harsh factory conditions, the laying of the railroads to the west, the races for free land in Oklahoma, etc.) It might be worth you pre-viewing and using your judgement about sharing it with your child.
Because Woods had us all wired up for video, we watched Ado Annie sing in Oklahoma. I whole-heartedly recommend viewing this movie with you children. We boiled salt water and tasted the resulting salt as Ghandi and his followers did. We went for a long walk in the neighborhood and imagined doing that with he and his followers. We discussed the large intestines and began discussing the functions of the liver. Most students have the state capitals memorized.
Two areas I feel I've caused a mix up in are memory work and latin. Some students had done lesson 13 in latin and some had not. For next week, be sure that lesson is completed. If your student already has that done, utilize some of the activity sheets in the back of their book to keep them fresh on the material. For memory work, I introduced Week 14. Work on this information for next time. I plan to take time next class evaluating where we all are and reviewing.
I love my Trinity kids. I had the card to show them about our purchase from World Vision of a goat and 2 chicks but forgot to. I'll share it next time.
love,
Mrs. Tkach
p.s. Many thanks to Mrs. Amy for helping us today!
ASSIGNMENTS:
1. Read Chapter 23 in SOTW
2. Read Chapter 35 in the Bible Story Book
3. Work on memorizing Week 14.
4. Read through (and including) chapter 15 in The Night Journey
5. Make sure all exercises are complete through lesson 13 in latin

Our First Day in 2010 and assignments for next time
Good Chilly Morning!
It was great to be with my students yesterday. We missed Spencer very much and mourn with him as he mourns his family's loss and rejoice with him as he rejoices in a new sister!
Many thanks to Terry Beach and Beth Langehans for being our helpers yesterday. Show and Tell was great and long. Spencer, feel free to bring yours next week! In Bible, we watched part of The Prince of Egypt and enjoyed that very much. We pressed on past the review in Latin into lesson 12. We worked on some of the homework activities in class for that lesson. Hopefully, this will free up some time for you to do the review at home.
Because only one student had read the Gandhi book, lit was short. Another had done some research apart from the book and those two students shared their thoughts on this man's life and accomplishments. I hope each of you will make time to read the book. In history, we talked about WWI and the sad episode it was in human history. We listened to the poem In Flander's Field and talked about its history. We talked about the beginnings of communism and Lenin as well as women getting the right to vote. I began reading a book about Lizzie Stanton and her work for suffrage for women. It is at our library and you may want to secure it for your child to read.
We pressed on into Week 15 with the memory work. Science consisted of doing an experiment suggested in our history activity guide about hemophilia. It was most insightful. I will devote double time to geography next time because we did not spend time there yesterday. Please bring your maps.
I hope your week is fruitful.
love,
Mrs. Tkach
ASSIGNMENTS: (that I would like to see done before next time)
1. Read chapter 33 in Bible.
2. Work on Week 15 memory work.
3. Read chapters 1 through 9 in The Night Journey
4. Read chapter 22 in SOTW
5. Do review R in Latin and the rest of lesson 12 activities. On Monday January 11 write lesson 13 words 3 times each
