Wonderful Experience At The Lighthouse

It was great to see some of our 8th grade joining the group at the Lighthouse. The kids enjoyed playing air hockey, pool, foosball, and video games. The part I enjoyed most was the devotion and study on prayer before our meal.

Thank you to all of the parents that sent food and helped with driving... A special thanks goes out to Daryl and Paula Zenke for the delicious spaghetti dinner they served!

Hope we are able to make another trip down before the end of the year. I'm not sure if we'll be able to fit it in or not, but I'll keep you posted.

New Studying Tool For Literature

I'm very excited about a fun way that my kids will be able to study their vocabulary words, or other facts for tests. They simply need to go to quizlet.com and set up a (free) account. They are able to make up flashcards for studying, or they can use sets that I have made up for them. In order to access (My Group) they must type in the password mrsprekop. I have already put their vocabulary words, for their quiz on Monday, as a set in My Group. The name of My Group is Mrs. P's kids.

The neat thing about this application, is that they can use it to study for all of their subjects. Hope they make use of this great tool!!!

Please Return Your Lighthouse Slips

Only nine students have returned their Lighthouse slips so far. It is important that I know what to plan for, and need the slips returned as soon as possible. Even if your child will not be attending the March 26th date, we would appreciate it if you could sign up to donate food for the meal.

Thank you!

Lighthouse Up-Date

I spoke with a representative from the Lighthouse ministries yesterday, and it appears that due to the size of the facilities, we will only be able to take 12 of the 24 8th graders on March 26th. I am considering another trip to allow the other 12 the opportunity to participate. The second trip would not include a supper with the Lighthouse group. Whether your child is able to make the March 26th trip or not, we would still appreciate donations for the meal. I have posted a sign up sheet at the back of the 8th grade room. I will be sending home a permission slip on Weds. for the March 26th date.

Thank you for you help!!!

8th Grade Picture Slide Show

It's time to pull out all those photo albums, to look for your child's pictures, for their graduation slide show. I will be sending home an envelope next week asking for the pictures needed. Have fun digging and reminiscing!
