9 school days left before we END the school year.
The ASL class we hold at Lighthouse Baptist Academy in Ceiba ended on Thursday with a pizza picnic and Headbandz game played in almost silence… well the first 10 minutes were mostly silent.
Our students are learning! Yajaira (girl in black shirt above) got a new Bible today and she is enjoying reading is beside a children’s Bible story book. Finding the references in her Bible and recognizing some of the words are exciting for her and for us as we see her desire to learn to read grow. Pray for her as she leaves for the summer. Pray that she will be back in our classrooms in August – ready to learn more.
We are preparing for our End of the School Year Party. This year we are going for a more formal event with table cloths and a sit down luncheon. The students are practicing songs on their guitars and in ASL and on the bells. We are preparing powerpoint presentations to show the parents and invited guests.
Single digits of school days are provoking all of us to be less focused – and the weather is turning to WARMer which makes afternoons oh so sleepy. Thank God for the air conditioners in the chapel and our students’ enjoyment of table games. Games which are developing critical thinking, mathematics, visual reasoning and communication skills. Oh they think they are just playing… little do they know every game time has so much for in store for them!
Enjoy your changing seasons even as we are! Thanks for stopping by to read!
