Happy Friday! We started the day off with chapel where we heard about mission opportunities being all around us. We ended the day with a presentation on the African Medical Mission. Be sure to ask your students about both of these.

We continued to struggle with students not making the best use of their time. Too much time was spent waiting for students to quiet down at various places during the day. I am trying to impress on the students that every moment that is wasted at school is that much more homework for that night. Please try to reinforce this message.

Keep at those journals and AR books!

There is a great website I would like to recommend to you. It is called Librivox. Volunteers record themselves reading various public domain works. You are then able to download the mp3 file and listen to them for free. They work in conjunction with the Guetenburg project which supplies free text versions of various works as well. Since it is done by volunteers it is free. but the quality of the work varies. The web site is www.librivox.com. The site for Call of the Wild is http://librivox.org/call-of-the-wild-by-jack-london/. If you are interested check it out. I listen to the books while driving, exercising, or even cutting the grass.
