January Life

Seeing Time Fly

Wow! January is almost over and we are heading into February! 10 more days and we will be at the 100th day of school! Time for January Recap:

So in January we completed first semester and had our winter banquet.
I went to winter banquet this year as my first class of grade one students are now in grade six and were welcomed into the Secondary at the banquet. Hard to believe that they are already in grade six! My babies are growing up!

Winter Banquet is always a fun time together as a CISP community. Here are just a few snapshots of the evening.

In the Classroom

This month we said goodbye to one of our families as they are moving to the States so now we are down to three. I have a great group of girls and though I miss having a bigger class I do love the energy, smiles and joy these girls bring to my every day.

Twin Day!

Uncle Alec

This week my Great Uncle Alec passed away,
We got to visit with him this past summer and I recorded him sharing some of his childhood memories. The video is long but I do hope you enjoy this glimpse into the Robinson life.

This December

Christmas Happenings

Away from the classroom

Taking 3 weeks away from school is quite an undertaking, but I have been blessed by a very supportive team. Many thanks to Mrs. Redmond for taking on my class while I am away. Christmas time is a VERY busy time in the classroom, including making crafts, Christmas concerts and celebrations. It was difficult to be away from the kids during these fun times but I have enjoyed the rest and time with my family.
Thankful for the few snapshots sent to record what has gone on during my absence. Blessed to have a substitute willing to take on the challenges of making latkes to celebrate Hanukkah, going to the Christmas markets and taking on the Christmas concert. Many, many thanks for all her help.

It has been a delight to be back in Canada for the Christmas season. For the first time since I left to Prague, my entire family came together to celebrate Christmas.

Since the house is overflowing with people and dogs I have been blessed with the opportunity to house sit and care for two puppies that belong to some church family friends. Many thanks to this family for a lovely place to stay and some great company to share it with.









To Celebrate my mom's birthday we headed up to Silver Star mountain for a little snowshoeing and sledding. It was a beautiful day and fun was had by all.

Christmas with the family has been full of laughs, shared memories and thankfulness for all that we have been blessed with,

 

Great news is that come this summer there will be another addition to my family as my younger brother and his wife are expecting baby #2 in July. Praying for a healthy pregnancy.

It has been a joy to be with my family, my brothers and sisters-in-law and nephew. Being away is sometimes difficult for now I feel like I have two families on either side of the ocean. My Prague family and my relational family. Blessed beyond measure by both.
