We joined a co-op community for the first time this year called Classical Conversations and it has been great....we have a wonderful group of families that we meet together with once a week for support, encouragement, ideas, and learning. The last meeting of the school year consisted of games, snow cones, fun times and an awards ceremony for those that had memorized and recited all of John 1:1-7. They received a special Bible Memory pin for doing so. Both E and J.D. received an award. I am very proud. On a funny note, one morning John was going over a catechism book that we are slowly going though...it said to have the kids memorize Genesis 1:1...In the beginnning God created the Heavens and the Earth....John had each of the big kids say it and then turned to Molly and started to prompt her..He said, "In the beginning..." and Molly said, "was the word and the word was with God." We all, with jaws dropped, clapped and celebrated with her...instead of saying Genesis 1:1 she too was quoting John 1: 1-7...In the beginning was the word and the word was with God....Amazing how much they pick up when you don't even know it!
Emily's "class" of mixed 4th and 5th grade girls that she did lessons with.
J.D.'s special friend
At the end of the year "Finishing Well" ceremony for the parents and grandparents, each "class" did something on stage. J.D.'s class did a verb dance. Emily's class sang, played on a tin whistle and signed Amazing Grace.
