End of Home School Year Program

Today we held a special program to mark the end of the home school year.  We invited our teacher helpers to attend.

Mirjam (left) works with Joel on Tuesdays and Sarah (right) works with Amelia on Tuesdays.  Daniel, who works with Joel on Wednesdays, was sick and unable to attend.  All three are members of the Liebenzell German Impact team which serves in Ecuador each year (with different participants) from October to August.

We started by singing the Ecuadorian national anthem.

Joe followed by leading the United States national anthem and pledge.

Amelia led the pledge to the Christian flag,


and Joel the pledge to the Bible.

Joel delivered his oral book report on Look Who's Playing First Base by Matt Christopher.

He did it with vitality and enthusiasm.

Then Sarah introduced her student Amelia.



Amelia recited "God Gave Me Eyes" by Olive Burt.

The four teachers and students.  You can see the love they have for each other.

Then we had the essential snack time.

Wonderful fellowship.

Even Jacob got in on the action.  Elias was sleeping.

We thank God for the help of Mirjam, Sarah, and Daniel.  Not sure that we could have done home school this year without them, at least not without losing our sanity.  In September another German helper is coming to spend the year with us.  More about that later.
