School Goals 2015/2016

I have several people ask why I set school goals each year.  Here is why - It is a good way to measure if we accomplished everything we wanted to during the school year.  Yes - we have curriculum that we tend to finish, but not everything we want our children to learn is found in a text book.  Keeping that in mind I set school goals for myself this year.  Here are our current goals:

Everyone: 

Pray daily for missionaries
Memorize one hymn & scripture a month
Learn National Anthem
Find a family service project to do twice this year!
