Welcome to 2015!

Hello everyone, I hope everyone has enjoyed their break to the fullest and has had lots of opportunity to spread the name of Jesus. :) I also hope that you all enjoyed your time with family and friends. With that being said, welcome to 2015. Crazy. Here we go.

We will be having a poetry contest in February and so I ask that each student selects a poem that he or she will memorize. Their poem has to be at least 16 lines minimum. They can't use any props or cue cards and they need to bring in a copy of their poem by this Friday. 

Here's some of the things the judges and I will be looking for when they deliver their poem:
Speed, volume, enunciation, voice expression, face expression, enthusiasm, gestures, posture, hand action (no fidgeting), eye contact, ease of delivery/comfortability


Schedule:
Monday: Read pages 105-110
Tuesday: Read pages 110-115
Wednesday: Bring in R.A.C.
Thursday: Spelling Test List #14
Friday: Memory Work Test Psalm 147:1; Have poem picked out and copy brought into school; Library
