Happy Thanksgiving!

Thursday was a big day!  In addition to the normal classes, we enjoyed a Thanksgiving lunch and recorded our poem recitation.   I will be doing some video editing and posting the finished video soon!

I love the fact that our class is so comfortable with each other that we could go around the table in prayer, each choosing to thank God for something special to them.  It is an amazing thing to have this positive, supportive environment for our children to grow.  What did I thank God for?  For each one of these kids and for the awesome ability to teach them in our little school twice a week.

On Friday, we headed out on a field trip to Dogwood Assisted Living.  There, we showed them our handwriting border sheets that we work on each week.  These sheets each have a Bible verse, written in their very best handwriting.  They work very hard coloring the borders.  The students gave their sheets to the residents.  Then, they took turns playing "Be Still and Know" on the piano while the others sang.  The residents really enjoyed seeing them! Afterward, we hit the playground, some lunch, and ended the day at YoTops for some frozen yogurt.  Yum!



Have a safe and happy Thanksgiving, and we'll see you on Tuesday the 29th!
