Skittle Painting

 Today we spent a good deal of time practicing for the eighth-grade graduation program.  Please have your child at the Deltona Adventist Church at 6:45 pm on Thursday, in church clothes.  Our class will be playing the chimes and singing a song.  It is very important that ALL students attend for our program to be successful.

We finished our self portraits today.  I was SO impressed with the talent of the students.  I am going to display them on the church bulletin board next month.

Today, we also did a math lesson in fractions using Skittles.  Then we put some water on them and painted with the colors that dissolved from them.  I am going to mail their pictures to an organization that gives cards to children in hospitals.

Tomorrow please have your child bring some bags so that they can take the contents of their desk home.  Remember that Reading Plus and Bible verses are due on Friday.  We will be having a parent's appreciation breakfast at 10:00 am that day.  It is 11:30 am dismissal.

Our quote for today is from the book I read our class titled, Unstoppable Me, by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer. "What is a life full of meaning and purpose, one that's truly free? It's when you learn to look outside yourself and not always think, What about me? It's being at peace every day with a respect for all things that live and not wondering what you can get, but wondering what you can give."
