This Week In Spanish!

We have been learning Scripture memory verses for the last few weeks. The student in each class who can remember and say the most verses (and the reference for each one), in Spanish and English, will receive a gift certificate for Ice Cream (or something similar) the week before the Christmas Break. Here are the verses so far:

Cree en el Señor Jesús. Hechos 16:31 Believe in the Lord Jesus. Acts 16:31

El Señor te bendice. Números 6:24 The Lord blesses you. Numbers 6:2

Soy hijo de Dios. Juan 1:12 I am God's child. John 1:23

Cristo vive en mí. Gálatas 2:20 Christ lives in me. Galations 2:20

FIELD TRIP this Wednesday, November 3

Just a reminder that the 4th, 5th, and 6th graders will be going to Austin this Wednesday, November 3 to see the Turner to Monet exhibit at the Blanton Museum on the UT campus. We will be leaving school at 9:30 and returning before 3:00. Mrs. Butler and Mr. Carter have volunteered to drive! Please dress in your Chapel uniforms since it is a Wednesday. Bring a sack lunch, snacks and drinks. We will tour the exhibit at 11, have lunch on the grounds at 12, and visit the permanent collection after lunch. We'll head back toward Temple by 1:30. You won't need any money unless you want to buy something at the Museum shop.

I'll be out of town on Tuesday, but everything will be ready to go before I leave. If you have any questions, please call me at home on Tuesday evening. This will be a great trip and a chance to see some of the most famous paintings in the world!

Today in class: We created a form in Excel, so that we can analyze the candy that we get from Halloween. They should have a form to be filled out in their folders.
