Happy St. Patrick's Day! No, I'm not going to wear green, and I didn't get any special cookies baked for the kids...they don't even know it's St. Patrick's Day. ;-) The only thing I really remember about St. Patrick's Day growing up, was that if you didn't wear something green to school that day, the kids would pinch you! LOL!!! I remember one year, our teacher had made green shamrocks for everyone out of construction paper and gave them to us as we walked in the door, so that there would be no pinching in our class for the day. :-)
We are keeping busy here in Manta! Just finished up our fourth, 6 week term in school, so the kids and I have 12 more weeks to go for this school year! YAY!!! Teddy has started to learn about WWI in History and Light and Color in Science. He also started working with Decimals this week in Math! (I'm pretty sure I wasn't learning about decimals or WW I in 4th grade!! Carla is reading and started having spelling test a couple weeks ago, and has done really well! She has also just finished up a Math unit on graphs, and had no problems understanding and applying what she was learning. Matthew, is starting to get the concept of reading, and has been working extra hard on his writing. He also started a new unit in Math this week on numbers to 20 and is being introduced the idea of Place Value.
Tony has been having a Discipleship Seminar on Thursday evenings, at our normal Bible Institute time. He has been very pleased with the participation usually having over 20 each evening. They will have one more week. Then March 29-April 1 is our VBS. Appreciate your prayers as we get ready for this special time. Then it will be Easter! WOW!!
Tomorrow afternoon, the ladies in the church will be having a Wedding Shower for one of the young ladies. Looking forward to a great time of fun and fellowship.
Thank you for your prayers for our family and the ministry here in Manta!
Blessings,
Joy
