November Newsletter

Free Concert

Warren County Summer Music School has invited us to a concert at the Library Theater this WEDNESDAY - Nov. 10th.  The concert will feature "Foothills Brass" - a group of 5 versatile musicians from across North America. They perform everything from Baroque classics to modern/contemporary music in a brass quintet. They will also discuss the music and take questions from the audience.

Students in 7 & 8 grade are invited to attend the 9:00 concert.  ALL others are invited to the Noon(12:00) performance, which should last about 45 min.  You are welcome to bring your lunch with you.  Both performances are FREE.   

 

Tips, Tricks & Pointers!

From Kym Mullins:

A friend who homeschools in Florida told me about a website: 

internet4classrooms.com. 

It has a variety of resources and has organized links to hundreds of websites with lesson plans or online educational games.  It is organized by grade level (pre-K to 8) as well as by subject matter.  It has been helpful to me to be able to have a resource that helps me to quickly find links to subject matter that I want to reinforce with my boys.  Having to do a web search for resources like the ones they have compiled would be very time-consuming, so this website has been a time saver for me.  

From Julie:

I am going to compile all of your favorite resourceful websites in one place, so email me with your list of favorites!  Then on the right of this blog, just click 'Favorite Websites' and you will be able to view that list.

Kitty, Sharon, Cay, Stephanie, Robyn and I all had a nice time at trivia night last week. 
Hope to see you there on December 2nd!
