This Wednesday is going to be a very special fundraiser for Larry and Francine Carruthers in Kitale, Kenya.  Please try to scrounge up some old pairs of sunglasses or prescription glasses and some spare change to help our missionaries help the people in Kitale.  Each class has targets to hit in order to get their teacher to dress up in crazy attire and walk a fashion runway.  The grade 7’s have a little over $50 right now, but they need $200 to get me up there!   

Weekly Challenge: I hope everyone did well on spending 15 minutes of intentional time with Jesus each day.   I am praying you desire to include this habit into your daily routine.  It is probably the most life changing challenge you could ever do.  This week our challenge will be to make sure we brush our teeth twice a day.  

Math:  The test on Friday revealed that we need a little more practice on equivalent fractions.  Therefore, the work this week on ixl.com is to complete these assignments: Gr. 6 Q.2 – Equivalent Fraction Review Gr. 6. Q. 3 – Simplify Fractions I am asking that you go as far as you can go in each of these tasks.  You will get a mark out of 10 based on how far you are able to complete the questions.  For example, Mastery will get you 10/10 (and 10 credits).  A score of 72 will get you 7.2 out of 10.
