Good Morning C3 families.
Sorry for the long delay in posting this week but I have had a few challenges as you know as well as being busier than I've been in a long time.  I heard that all went very well and quite smoothly on Tuesday.  That is a blessing to hear.  Thanks to all the ladies who stepped up to teach in my absence and thanks to Shirley who has taken on the teaching of Economics.  As I'm sure you all know, the Vannoys will not be returning to co-op this year, and while we will miss them, it is certainly understandable.  Also, as well as Joshua Bethea's surgery going great, as you've heard, Tracie reported yesterday that he sat in a chair and took his first steps  only 2 days after surgery!  Praise God for His faithfulness and for His healing power.  Kuddos to Isaiah, Louise and Nathaniel for getting their literature reading completely done over the holiday, Im proud of you all!

IEW: Students created an outline for a 3-paragraph story based on a schoolhouse scene with Daniel Webster. The scene shows how he memorized chapters of Scripture for a school competition. Students should write a draft in the next day or two, while information is fresh.  A day or two later, edit the paragraph, adding Dress Ups and Sentence Openers. Yet another day later, rewrite the story in a final version.

Have a great week everyone and remember to keep the Bethea's and the Vannoys in your prayers.
