Another List

A few reasons why I love Lansing Christian School (just a few; there are lots more, too!):

• Two days ago Lukas said, "Leaving school is my least favorite part of the day."
• Stefan has already made a new friend this year.
• Tomorrow Lukas wants to get the salad bar for lunch. (He is learning all about the food pyramid.)
• Scripture memory verses.
• Stefan was having trouble focusing on his math homework this weekend. As I sat there saying, "Stefan, do your homework!" I realized I really am grateful that I don't have to force him to do his work every day. It has been good for our relationship to eliminate the student/teacher aspect.
• The second day of school Lukas told me, "I love Mrs. Jackson!"
• Grandparents' Day is coming up and the boys are so excited!
• Today on the way home, Stefan said, "I don't mind getting up at 6:30 if that's the only way we can go to Lansing Christian."
  
• The teachers are not afraid to talk about tough issues. Both my boys know all about the upcoming election, and they are only in 1st and 3rd grades!
• A curriculum called "Everyday Math" that makes mathematics practical and much easier to understand.
• Lukas brought home a note from a boy in his class the other day that said, "Thanks for letting me be your friend."
• Praise and worship every Monday and chapel every Friday, plus Bible classes
• They teach Spanish in elementary school. Although this could be a bad thing if my boys can speak a language I can't speak...
