     I want to thank all of the parents who worked the concession stand, and especially Barbara vanAssendelft for being in charge.  It is great to have parents who are so supportive of their children's school.  Believe me, I know how it is to work all day and then work the concession stand that night.  It is all part of being in a private school, but I wouldn't change a thing!
     Please continue to work on multiplication tables.  Those struggling with division are the ones who still do not know their facts.  Study the Metric and English conversions, as well.  We started converting measurements today.
     The AR deadline for the first nine weeks is October 12.  That will be here before we know it.  Please encourage (MAKE) your child read.  Remember, this is 20% of the Reading grade.
     In Language today a book was assigned called Rosa.  Rosa will be read independently, however we will do a book report together in class.  Please read Rosa along with your child if you possible have time,  It is a wonderful Christian Fiction book.  I reread it every year and continue to enjoy it.
