P.E. Weekly Challenge:  How did students do eating the suggested amount of servings of fruit and vegetables each day? This week, the challenge will be to spend 10 minutes every day alone with Jesus.  This could be prayer, focusing on worship music, just being still before him, journaling, reading through the word or a combination of these activities.  10 minutes is an approximate time.  It could be longer or even a minute or so less to count.

Social Studies Chapter 2: We will be reading through Chapter 2 together as a class, but students will need to answer the Completion Questions and the Matching Questions at the end of the chapter on their own.  The work must be done digitally and follow the format I will show them in class and which will be on the blog to refer to.  This is due next Monday, Nov. 4th. There will be a quiz on the exact same information on Friday, Nov. 8^th.
