Hello everyone! We haven't posted much these last few weeks of summer. School will start in a little over a week! Nate and I are dilligently organizing the office and music, preparing the instruments to check out to students, planning schedules and strategies and praying that God will give us grace as we teach our students.
We have also been busy taking three night classes with lots of reading and observations to do. We are learning so much about classroom management, which will be very helpful to us those first days of school. There is so much to learn about teaching styles and effective teaching methods. Taking these classes this summer was a great way for us to sharpen our teaching skills and develop new strategies. We are also learning about philosophy of Christian Education, which gives us much to think about! Don't worry-we tell ourselves--we don't have to be the perfect master teachers in one week!
Other than these preparations and studies we have been enjoying each other much and have been playing music in the home together. It is so fun to hear Nate practicing his trumpet or practicing the saxaphone. I often like to get out my violin and play while Nate is playing piano. We love to make music together and worship the Lord! That's about it for now--but thank you for remembering to pray for us as we prepare for school! School starts August 2 for us (staff report on July 31 officially). Pray for health and vision and grace. Thank you!

Wow! Great report! I'm so excited that you don't have to wait very long to put your new teaching schemes into practice. Ha! Summer sure went by quickly, and you certainly used it for both fun and profit. Luffya--Ma B.
