Colt’s class has a required “building project” to complete this year. If you remember, last year was planting, tending, and harvesting rice. Each year is a sort of “life skill” class. His teacher planned for them to build a little house with a sundial on top there on the school grounds. They worked for several […]
Before moving to GL we had no idea this school existed. Local school for our kids is really important to us for their language and socialization, and I am in awe of how the Father has provided such an amazing learning environment for Colt! It was a big deal that he didn’t have to sit […]
I really like Colt’s school. He LOVES his school. He would tell you it’s the best school ever and how his teachers are so nice. This mommy’s heart is beyond grateful to the One who gave us this gift! To be in a different country, different culture, be immersed in a different language at least […]
Colt’s school held a fun little fall campout last Friday for the whole school (the whole school consists of kindergarten through 3rd grade this year and is adding a grade each year as it grows). So I packed up our camping gear, fun costumes for the kiddos, a pumpkin to carve, and some food to […]
David and I are always saying how we wish we could have gone to a school like this Colt LOVES his school! Who wouldn’t? They don’t sit behind desks all day. . .they learn through playing and exploring. With a class size of 7 and 2 teachers, it’s just really a blessing from above!
Fall time has arrived, and it is wonderful! The air is cool and crisp (and dry! woohoo!), and the sun is shining bright every day. I love it and wish it could stay this way forever According to the Chinese lunar calendar the middle of Autumn is next weekend and the moon will be full […]
This video is pretty sweet. We were so so pleased with Colt’s school in our previous city. I mentioned to the teachers that I wanted to bring a little treat on his last day, and they went all out! They made the whole afternoon about him. . . singing, hugging, crying, saying sweet words of […]
Last week, Colt’s class had a special event for all the moms. We were supposed to bring pajamas and a basin for feet washing. . . interesting indeed! It was actually really sweet. The teachers talked to the kids about all their moms do for them and how thankful they should be Then […]
Let me just say the teachers did an amazing job decorating all around the school. There were balloons EVERYWHERE. . . it looked really fun! All of the classes at Colt’s school did a little dancing performance (they are big on dance and music in this country – but it’s happy not-so-flashy dancing, so it’s […]
Our first Christmas party opportunity was at Colt’s school. When I first mentioned it to the head teacher, it seemed to me that it would be a “no go.” But, when we met with our small group we all lifted up the time that I would AGAIN ask them. . . and we went ahead […]
