Spring Happenings

Spring Adventures

We have been on many adventures this quarter with many more to come. We have been learning about countries around the world and exploring places we have lived, visited and places we wish to visit.

Each sticky note on this map indicates somewhere our class associates as home.

One of the privileges of teaching in an international school is having students from many different countries and cultures.

We explored different countries including France, Egypt and Kenya, learning about the languages they speak, the foods they eat and famous landmarks to see.

 

Planting Seeds

Now we are learning about plants and growing our own pea plants. We experiment with what plants need to grow and discover the importance of them having what they need to grow healthy.

Every year we do this unit I am reminded of the parable of the seeds and the different types of soil the seeds can land in and our jobs as teachers as we plant and nurture the seeds of the gospel in our students' lives. We serve the Lord of the harvest. 

"He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."

Luke 10:2 

We are in desperate need of more workers to help serve us in the field. In faith we opened up our grade 1 and 2 enrolment  to more students which means a split class next year will not be possible and another primary school teacher is required. 

All over there is a shortage of teachers and finding teachers that want to enter into the mission field is even harder. We pray to the Lord of the harvest to provide workers and that the workers will hear and respond in faith. Please pray with us for the Lord's provision.
