Inscription Day

Today was inscription, elsewhere known as enrollment. We transformed the preschool area, with long tables and chairs, into an office of sorts and before long we had more lines than a DMV office. The lines weren't long, each grade handles the enrollment paperwork and receipts for it's own students. After three hours or so we had everyone enrolled and it was back to our classrooms to continue room preparations.

I sorted some chemicals, textbooks and other classroom goodies (I found a small, preserved sheep brain in a plastic jar), cleaned and organized.

Tomorrow is the last day before school begins. I'll spend the time working on lesson plans, writing classroom procedures and creating some lists of needed lab materials. Alicia, I believe, is finished with her initial lesson plans and her room looks great. She's always way ahead of me.

The last few days have been grey and windy. Tropical storm/hurricane Ernesto passed by the southern peninsula leaving us with some very mild temperatures and off and on showers. Between the clouds, lower temperatures and classroom work it really feels as though the summer has passed. As we start this new school year, please pray for our students. Pray that they come ready to work, ready to be inspired and ready to grow in Christ. Pray that our students are able to share Christ with their families. Please pray also for the teaching staff, that we work at all things as though we are working for the Lord, that we can love as we are loved, and pray for energy!

Blessings,

Scott


P.S. Our phone service is still out and on a completely unrelated note, I'm looking for a full-sized anatomical skeleton model for the Biology, Anatomy & Physiology classes. If that sounds like the kind of procurement challenge you might be interested in, email me.
