What a busy, long week. I don't know where to begin. I guess I'll start with Monday. A good day. We have band on Mondays in the morning. We haven't quite figured out how we can manage the students who get taken out for band at different times and yet effectively use our time with the rest of them. That's ok, no harm done. We will figure this one out. We had soccer and volleyballl at St. John Monday. Phew! Tough games.
Tuesday the 7th grade went to Wheeler Mission to put up bulletin boards. This is a cool ministry that Mrs. Hougesen does. The sixth grade did some amazing writing that day. 8th grade started Flowers for Algernon. Great day! We had our first Bible Quiz practice. Great turnout. I may try to post study aids on this site. Exciting. Volleyball and Soccer Games at home that day. This is also the day my computer keyboard died. I have been improvising with netbooks, other computers, and jumpdrives all week. Bummer.
Wednesday was the first day of NFL, Night for Learning. I did the childcare. We had a schedule change because we had chapel on Thursday this week. The 7th grade read The Monsters are Due on Maple Street. It's a Twilight Z one. I was surprised to learn that several of them had no idea what The Twilight Zone is. This is a first! Adults...we are getting old.
The Sixth grade read a Ray Bradbury story All Summer in a Day. It's from the Martian Cronicles. Again, surprised to learn that most of them hadn't really heard of the science fiction genre. Hmmmm. Now they have.
Thursday we had chapel and chapel families for the first time. Loved talking to my chapel family about manners. Such great kids. Soccer and Volleyball at home against Our Shepherd. Soccer Won! Yeah!
Friday is a whirlwind. Fortunately it was a good day. We are all looking forward to Outdoor Ed next week. What an experience that will be. We spend a few days at Camp Lakeview, learning in nature. It will be fun, but really exhausting for me. That's ok. It's a labor of love. What a pleasure it is to serve the Lord by loving these kids.
