Congratulations!

Hooray for Megan!  She made the All-Stars soccer team for the 9-10 year old division!  Not too bad for a "first timer"!!

As a service project, Megan and Justin each prepared a box for Operation Christmas child.  On Thursday, we went to the Dollar Store and Wal-Mart and had a great time shopping for the children.  We bought toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, crayons, markers, candy and some other small toys.  We topped the boxes off with "Happy Meal" toys that I have been saving over the years.  Megan prepared a box for a 2-4 year old little girl.

Justin prepared a box for a 10-14 year old boy.  I printed out a tag for our boxes, so I hope we can track them. 

We will be starting a very long unit on China next week.  Today, we made Chinese dragons and read Yeh Shen (a Chinese version of Cinderella).  We also watched a segment of "Wild China" on Netflix.
