Onward!

The school year is picking up speed! I can't believe it is April already!

Our writing has been growing in leaps and bounds!

My favourite part is the reflecting that can happen with the increased skill. This past week, after hearing the story of Easter from the view of a young Palestinian boys, students worked quietly in their journals.... Here are some of their thoughts.

JA: "This is what Easter is all about"

"Jesus died on the cross."

"Jesus died for us"

Easter is my favourite time of year to teach - the students listen with a receptiveness that is precious, and it reminds me every year why Jesus says to become as little children. It makes His love fresh for me every year.

We have also been working so hard on our Maud Lewis paintings! She has been called the painter without shadows, and students appreciate the cheerful way she painted her life, even though in reality, she had both significant physical and economic difficulties. She appreciated the little things in her world, and we have enjoyed learning that lesson from her!

We have also been learning about magnets - so much fun! We learned about the "force fields" of the poles, and how they are friends with the opposite poles but not the same ones. We also learned how to make a paperclip piece into a magnet by rubbing it on a strong one!

We are also having so much fun learning at our restaurant centre!
