October is here! Bring on the pumpkins, the cool days, the changing leaves, the scarves, and the spicy coffee! God makes all things beautiful in His time, and autumn is one of His best examples. 

Oh, Narnia. This week we finished The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and The Last Battle. It's so hard to say goodbye. We have had so many beautiful conversations about heaven and about salvation in the past few weeks. Please know that I'm praying for your child; I want  my students to give their lives to Christ, because He is everything.

Both 6th and 8th grades tested on verbs this week (grades will be in by Monday evening). We will now venture out into the world of keeping plagiarism out of our writing!

6th graders will be writing and practicing our parts for our Operation Christmas Child chapel in a few weeks. We will also take our Narnia test on Tuesday. Work on your exciting castle! For those making edible castles: please know that we have a student who is allergic to red dye.

8th graders are learning MLA formatting, in all its annoying glory. It's good for them! We will also take our Narnia test Tuesday, and we will hang out with Edgar Allan Poe next week. Shudder.

Don't forget: next week is blessedly short, so kiddos only come to school Monday through Wednesday.

May God bless you abundantly. You're in my prayers.

LORD, you are my God; I will exalt you and praise your name, for in perfect faithfulness you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago. Isaiah 25:1
