Agenda Although this week is short, it is filled with fun.
Richard Graham is coming Monday to take us around the world musically. He is a long time Schilling friend who has visited us for several years. He is the first of our in-house Field Trips.
Monday and Tuesday this week we will begin our study of Matter.
We will do a quick study of Chapter 18. We studied these concepts in August,
so this will be somewhat of a review.
Just get the Directed Reading Workbook done by Tuesday. We started it in class Friday. There are only two sections.
Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving. Since it is the time of year we remember the people and things for which we are thankful, I am thankful for each of you as my student and I am so proud of the progress you have made in science class.
Remember the three home work rules.
1. Wear your seatbelts.
2. Be nice to your parents.
3.Come back to me in one piece.
AND I’m adding a little something extra…..
4. Since we are all so blessed …do something kind for someone else!

Agenda
We have Monday and Tuesday off this week. Tuesday is Veterans Day, an American holiday remembering those who have died bearing arms in the name of liberty and in pursuit of freedoms, doing their duty for God and to Country. When President Wilson first proclaimed this day to be a legal holiday in this country he called it ‘ A day dedicated to the cause of world peace … Our neighbors in Canada call it Remembrance Day, and in other parts of the world it’s referred to as Armistice Day. Armistice Day is the anniversary of the symbolic end of World War I on 11 November 1918. It commemorates the armistice signed for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front, which took effect at eleven o’clock in the morning — the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month”.
