30 Days of Thanksgiving: Day 25--School

Our kids love school. Of course, there are days they'd rather stay home and play. BUT. . .they really, really do love their respective school communities, and we're so thankful for that. Charlotte is nearing the end of her second school year at Mincaito, which operates on the Nicaraguan calendar. Her big Christmas/promotion ceremony will be next weekend, and then it is "summer" break with almost two months off! She'll be in the next grade level of preschool when school resumes in late January. We are so thankful that Charlotte looks forward to going to school each day, for her loving teachers, her many friends, and the way in which she is picking up some Spanish along the way!

 
Henry and Mae are at Nicaragua Christian Academy, and are surrounded by wonderful, diverse friends and staff members who make it such an awesome learning community. Today was the Thanksgiving program at  elementary school, and as I looked around at all of the folks sitting around tables sharing a meal together, I was reminded how thankful I am for this place. It is a joy to be a part of NCA as both a teacher and as a parent, watching Henry and Mae grow each day as lovers of learning, life, friends, and Jesus. We are very thankful for the teachers and leaders who make education at NCA a gift for our family.


Mae did great in her program! You can see the video below! Sorry to Henry--the camera stopped worked for your performance:( Sorry!



The Eagle Center




We wonder why she was a little hyper today:)

PreK2 Friends--this is a class I work with a lot and spent my time with today at the program.
