Ceramics class and Knights

CLUBS WILL BE AT THE PETERSON HOME ON TUESDAY THE FIRST. (Except Little Women)

Hey!

The new ceramics store on Main Street (by Ideal Dairy) is offering classes! I have called and arranged a time slot for our homeschooling group. Here is the info:

Dates: Every Thursday in January; 6th, 13th, 20th, and 27th.

Time: 1:30 pm and possibly 2:30 pm

Cost: $10 per person for the class. You will pay for the project you choose as well. (She said cost of project depends on what you choose, there is a wide variety of sizes, etc.) Bring your own acrylic paint and brushes.

The only catch is that she only has room for 10 students at a time. If we have more that would like to participate, she would have another class for us starting at 2:30pm the same day. Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in so I can get a count. Also, write which time slot would be best for you. Thanks!

KNIGHTS

This month we will be learning about Abe Lincoln. I don't think we will be having a game comp of facts, so don't stress it out. Come prepared to give your little presentations, though.

Also, this month I am going to challenge all the boys to memorize the Gettysburg Address. If they do it, there will be a special prize for them. I will send home on Tuesday some little memorizing helps.

Does anyone have a baseball and bat? This was Abe's favorite game and I don't have a baseball and bat!! Can you believe that? Let me know if you do, and please bring it to clubs on Tuesday so we can PLAY BALL!

Scholar Change

Hello Scholars!
As is often the case so many of you are sick or otherwise busy tonight that we were down to only a couple of kids who could attend tonight.  I am going to cancel scholar club for tonight and we will re-schedule.  I am trying to reach all of you by phone but wanted to make sure everyone knew for sure.  I am sorry to change so close to our scheduled meeting time, but with 5 kids out I will wait until we can have more of us together.  Thanks.  Heather

Book Night Change

Hello Ladies
Laura W has requested that we change book night as she has an appointment that night every month.  I too have found that Lyndon and I have Roundtable that night and was going to have to start coming less as well.  I would like to propose that we keep it as it is for November and discuss whether a change would be possible for future dates.  If you vehemently disagree let me know, if not we will plan on discussing a change at Laura C's.  Thanks.  Heather

Attention: Scholars

Hey Scholars
I need to change our time to meet so that we can be outside part of the time with some light.  I want us to meet at 6 pm (eat before you come though we are just having treats).  We are going on a little field trip so wear walking shoes and a jacket since we will be outside.  Please be on time, we will be leaving my home no later than 6:15.  I look forward to seeing you all.  Heather

Attention: Scholars

Scholars mark you calenders for scholar club next week.  Thursday, October 27th at 7:00 pm.  I hope all of you have been really thinking about the goal you want to set for the next 9 months.  Please write it on a index card and bring it with you that night.  I also want to encourage (though it is not required) you to read the book Do Hard Things.  This book discusses much of what I plan to talk about with you guys this year.  It is not required, but there is a treat involved for those who do read it.  I have a copy and am willing to share if you want it. I look forward to seeing you all.  Heather

and I think it's my turn to host? Laura Christensen's home in Richfield.

Yay! that means I can come!

7:30 p.m.

Garland's house

(1575 S. Brooklyn Rd. Monroe)

Those coming from N. of Monroe--go to Elsinore, take Brooklyn Rd. from there follow it South all the way 10 min. or so until you get to 1575 . Garland's house is on the East side of the road.

If you are in Richfield and want to carpool--call me 896-8569.

We will keep Book Club the 2nd Thursday of every month.

I'm going to resume posting the book clubs on the blog instead of Lisa. We decided that was something I could do to lighten her load.

Thanks, everyone!

Book Club Thursday

Book Club is coming up...

Hope you are enjoying this great read...

Seven Miracles that Saved America

I will not be there. Brandon and I will be in Boston doing the Freedom Trail for our 14th anniversary. What a great book to get us in the patriotic spirit.

Have fun and let me know what book you want to read next. My vote for sometime in the future: Laddie.
