Thursday, December 8

This week has flown past and I just realized that I have neglected keeping this page up to date and for that I apologize. I have been "swamped" this week preparing for and now administering the Panther Pride Invitational. As you probably know, Miss Hale has been my substitute on Tuesday and Thursday in order for me to take care of the tourney. We have 16 teams participating in this event.

Here are some notes to assist you:

• Religion: The students have a Bible study entitled, "Beginnings". It is a study of Matthew that they started today and they should have prepared for discussion on Friday.
• Language Arts: The students worked on "random" writing prompts today. They were due in class. They have also been placed into groups to complete a final project for the book "Johnny Tremain". They should be prepared to work in class tomorrow and on Monday.
• General Math: The majority of the studens received an extensive diagnostic test from the Accelerated Math program today on the topic of "Integers". This should be complete by Monday. There are five students who still had an outstanding test and therefore, they will receive their printed copy once that test is complete. Take time to review with your student.

Grading Papers: I have fallen a bit behind on grading papers and will have everything caught up by the middle of next week. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

In Christ,

Mr. Maxwell
