This week, we welcomed a new member to our co-op family: Anabelle Christie Fender was born at 7:29am on Tuesday, August 10. She weighed in at 6 pounds, 14 ounces. Welcome to the world, little Anabelle!
Our weekly gathering started with something special this week. The kids learned about an awesome place, The Sunshine Acres Children's Home. Mrs. Roberts taught the kids all about Sunshine Acres--it's a safe place for children to go when their parents are unable to care for them. Afterwards, the kids wrote letters and drew pictures for the children living at Sunshine Acres and then we prayed as a group for the kids and their families and their home. We also collected school supplies to help these kids get a great start to the new school year! What a privilege it is to serve and bless others! In our classes, both the Upper Grammar and Lower Grammar kids discussed the book of Exodus, talked about pyramids and mummies and completed their salt mapping projects by painting the maps they made last week in co-op. Downstairs, the younger kids read the book "Wee Gillis". This story is about a Scottish boy who is not content to be a hunter like his father's family or a farmer like his mother's family. Eventually, Wee Gillis finds his own place in this world as a bagpiper. The kids made cute sheep from cotton balls to celebrate the spirit of Scotland.
