Hitting the Ground Running.....

I hope that you have all enjoyed your Fall Break! We have a busy week ahead of us, hence the title of this post!:) Please view the Week at a Glance tab to make note of important dates this week including our class' Family Gathering this Friday, October 26th. I hope you are ready for a great 2nd Quarter!

Below is a preview of our next novel study Night of the Twisters.

"When a tornado watch is issued one Tuesday evening in June, twelve-year-old Dan Hatch and his best friend, Arthur, don't think much of it. After all, tornado warnings are a way of life during the summer in Grand Island, Nebraska. But soon enough, the wind begins to howl, and the lights and telephone stop working. Then the emergency siren starts to wail. Dan, his baby brother, and Arthur have only seconds to get to the basement before the monstrous twister is on top of them. Little do they know that even if they do survive the storm, their ordeal will have only just begun. . . ."
