Yep...it's the First Day Of SCHOOL!!!!! :)

They define the word; Adorable!

                


 School officially started today!  :)  :)
  New faces ( adorably cute) and old faces (the best of the best)!
  It was really an exciting day for all of us as we welcomed both our new and old students back to school this morning. Some how the one month summer break suddenly felt like a whole year. Surely there is no pain quite like missing someone that you dearly love and long to see. But when you finally do get to see them again, some times you can't help it but the following will happen; scream, hug,...repeat! then bask in the glow of each others' faces and maybe you might even find yourself speaking a little bit faster than normally humans do.   :)   I admit that I am totally guilty of all of that...especially this morning. My students too. It is hard to explain. In fact it is complicated!
But it is the best feeling in the world when you see this faces after such a long time.

I am really happy and it is a great honor to let you know that (first of all, I have a new student in my class and his name is Peter) and I have moved on to the next grade with my previous grade 5s. It is honestly an answered prayer for both of us. I really felt the need to spend as much time as I can with them one more year because I felt like I haven't invested enough into their lives last year. Last year was the beginning of everything and there is so much to do before we can send them out in to different high schools around the city. I pray-fully hope to invest more into their lives this year as much as I can or as much as God allows me to because I know ( and I am trying not to worry) that there will come a time when they will have to move on to the next grades without me.

They come back once in a while, but it’s never the same. - See more at: http://simplehomeschool.net/foundation/#sthash.as21UwQa.dpuf

 Considering all those we have send out: They do come back once in a while, but it's never the same for everyone. And some hardly come back. Apparently "life happens" and so it does. This is our window of opportunity to build a strong foundation that will support them for the rest of their lives just as many people did when we were younger. So please do keep them in your prayers as you read this blog and not only them but also the rest of the school and the staff members.
