assignments for 2/23/10

Dear Families,

We had a HUGELY busy day! I hope some bread made it home to you. We worked hard but I'm afraid it was removed from the oven before its time. You might try finishing baking it at 425 degrees for 10 minutes or so. We did get an idea of how hard Sarah Pucket had to work to earn coins to help her family in the Great Depression. We missed Woods and prayed for you! Mills was in and out with doctor appointments. Many, many thanks to Mrs. Tronda for being our very busy helper.

We had a great discussion on WWII and the different effects from all over the country. The Hatchells brought in letters from the government (one even signed by FDR) about an Uncle killed in the war. We will continue the study next week. We will also plant a Victory Garden (the seeds were accidentally left at my home) next week. Ask your student why they came about.

I hope you each have a great week studying. See you Tuesday!

love,
Mrs. Tkach
