Mrs. Yurk's Weekly Update

Ever Faithful. Ever His. 

 

Updates

Graduation is quickly approaching!  Thank you in advance for all the volunteering that has already taken place, and please keep looking for possible ways to continue helping.  Ashley Brooks will reach out! 🙂  

 

Track and Field Day:  Mr. Kell sent out a Sign-Up link for volunteers.  If you’re able to help, I know there are some spots that still need to be filled. 

I was contacted by a friend who volunteers quite a bit at the Jonathan Clark House in Mequon.  If you are looking for a family outing, please take a look at their website:  jonathanclarkhouse.com

Reading

As we continue reading The Wednesday Wars, through Holling’s experiences, historical facts, and references to Shakespeare, we’ll continue making inferences and discover the themes.  This novel, like most, exists to cause readers to better understand themselves and the world around them. 

Religion

This week we will be finishing up the world religions project. Thursday's memory is Psalm 100:1-5, "Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations."
