Our LAST Blog Update for this School Year! …includes all Camp Highland info and info for the last two weeks of school! Please read!

Dear Parents,

This will be the last of our official weekly blog posts. This one includes everything coming up in the last two weeks of this school year. sniff! sniff!

Students should be putting together a simple costume for Monday’s Midsummer Night’s Dream. I have a few costume items but kids should be aware of what they will need to bring on Monday morning. We have been having a lot of fun with this play. Please see your invitation below.

There is a math and a Asia map test scheduled for next week.

Students also need to be packing (including a small Bible) for Camp Highland (packing list and dress code are attached). They can wear their Camp Highland t-shirt (with dress code bottoms) to school on Monday, May 20. ALL of the Camp Highland info is listed at the the end of this post.

Also on Monday, May 20, we will be watching the film version of Francine Rivers’s novel, The Last Sin Eater. It’s a wonderful story of redemption, but it can be a little scary at times. You can check out the movie review at: https://www.pluggedin.com/movie-reviews/lastsineater/ Please let me know if you would prefer your child read instead during these two hours. (If so, they should bring a book.)

I am emailing you reteaching lessons from the Saxon math book. Each lesson has a short explanation and some practice problems. This would be a good way to keep students sharp over the summer. Mr. Hudson suggests skipping at least the first half. (Answers are included at that end of the file.
