We are blessed to have a little school on the ground level of our house. Miss Karen, a teacher of 20+ years, has made school a fun and wonderful place for our three oldest.
I had a picture of Josh, but I have had a terrible time with internet and loading pictures, so I finally decided to go with what I have.
At 8:25 every school morning, Zoey, Josh, and Abby get their backpacks and head to the schoolroom. I see them again at 10:15, when they come up to get a snack, and have recess.
They also come up for lunch from 11:30-12:15.
School lets out at 3.
They all have their individual studies, but every day they have gym with Patrick and Colin, and on Fridays they have art together.
To keep school more "official" and not so casual, they wear uniforms; the girls these checkered dresses, and Josh a gray shirt. Every school child in Haiti wears a uniform, so this is one way we can identify with them, too.
What a blessing and gift, to have a teacher who LOVES to teach, and for the ability to have a little schoolroom. It has been a
blessing for all of us. We are so thankful for the way it brings stability and routine into our days, as well as the academic input they receive.
Thank you for these little peeks into the life of your family! Love reading your posts! ~Martha Shirk~
