Teaching Days...

My days as a teacher are going well. We are now in our second week of tutoring little Matthew; we have not started with the other boy yet. It has been a fun and educational (of course) experience for all so far, and we have engaged him in several activities. I thought I would fill you in on some of the things we have come up with!


Matthew (or Vincie) is very interested in the “Titanic” and her sinking in 1912, so last week we checked out several books on the ship and wrote a short story about a little boy Matthew’s age who is saved from the sinking. This was Matthew’s *first* story, and so it was dictated to us as we wrote it down. It turned out very well! He also worked on a drawing to illustrate the tale, and we put together a little book for him to take home.

Today was bird day. We played a fact game about birds, and then set off on a nature hike to see if we could spot 10 different kinds. We did, and even saw a Blue Heron and Golden Eagle! Despite these great finds, Matthew dubbed the American Robin as his favorite. To celebrate this, he wrote a story by himself about the Robin, and how he felt when he saw it. After forming "The Bird Finders Club," we took a photo of him with the Robin we spotted behind him, and will be pasting that in another book, shaped like a birdie. :)

All in all, the day turned out fine, and we are looking forward to having our student back with us next week!

Resurrection Sunday...

I apologies that this is late! As you may have guessed, we were *quite* busy yesterday!

~Happy Resurrection Sunday!~

HE AROSE

Low in the grave he lay, Jesus my Savior,

Waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord!

Up from the grave he arose; with a mighty triumph o'er his foes;

He arose a victor from the dark domain,

And he lives forever, with his saints to reign.

He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Vainly they watch his bed, Jesus my Savior,

Vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord!

 Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my Savior;

He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord!
