Autumn's Graduation Trip - Part 5


Their favorite part of the graduation events is definitely the teacher meet and greet.  It is obviously everyone else's favorite too because the lines are incredible!




A new friend from the Jacksonville area went on the college tour with us.


Sierra-15, Autumn-17 and Addie-19



Addie and her boyfriend, Chris, who is also graduating


The middle school and high school teachers are here to meet all the graduates and their families.  These are the teachers that teach via video to home school students all over America and even the world.  These teachers taught all my girls and this is a special opportunity to actually meet them in person for the first time!  It's like when you watch a TV show for years and then you finally meet an actor from that show in person.  It's almost surreal. :)




Mr. Bucy - Teaches grammar and literature (English) for 7th, 9th, and 12th grades.
Mrs. Baker - Teaches grammar and literature (English) for 8th and 11th grades.


Miss Quinlan - Teaches Spanish 1 and 2.


Mrs. DeBruler - Teaches Speech.
Miss Armstrong - Teaches Culinary Life Skills.


Miss Smith -  Teaches Algebra 2.
Mr. Collins - Teaches Plane Geometry. 


Mr. Ridgley - Teaches Chemistry and Physical Science.
Miss Stancil - Teaches Biology.
Mr. Enders - Teaches Bible and Science.
Mr. Vinaja - Teaches Physical Science. 


Mr. Gourley - Teaches Genesis.
Mr. Crockett - Teaches Bible 7, Bible 8, and 
New Testament: Jesus and His Followers.
Mr. Birx - Teaches Bible Doctrines.



Mr. Zila - Teaches History and Bible.
Mr. Smith - Teaches Economics, World History 7 and 10, Hebrew History: Kings of Israel, American Government, US History 11.
Miss Burns - Teaches Geography, Health, and US History 8.


At the end, students could say something on video about their classes, favorite teachers, etc.


After the Meet and Greet, we had a picnic with meals provided on the football field.  I guess I didn't take any photos of that.
Then we went on our tour of Pensacola Christian Academy.  This is where the video teachers actually teach in classrooms and the videos are recorded.


























They have a bookstore on their campus.


Seeing all these books brings back years of memories.






It was a good and full day.

You May Abound In Hope

Today I completed a devotional book by Candace Cameron Bure.  100 Days of Joy and Strength.  I was struggling last night.  Darkness seemed to overwhelm me.  The last day of this devotional gave me exactly the encouragement I needed to go another day. Here are the verses she shared from God's Word. "I wait for the Lord, my whole being waits, and in His word I put my hope."  Psalm 130:5 "We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;"  II Corinthians 4:8-9 "As for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my Savior; my God will hear me.  Do not gloat over me, my enemy!  Though I have fallen, I will rise.  Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light."  Micah 7:7-8 "I remain confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.  Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord."...

Ten Tips for Sunday School Teachers

Ideas for Sunday School Teachers: 1.  Write a note to each student and mail it to their home. 2.  Visit the child in his home and bring a small treat. 3.  Make a special treat once a month for your students on Sunday. 4.  Have a Sunday School class activity on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon. 5.  Pray for your students. 6.  Have a monthly or quarterly contest for your students.  Include bringing their Bible, saying memory verses, attendance, etc.  Award small prizes. 7.  Have a special craft once a month. 8.  Rev up your teaching time!  Use props such as costumes, pictures, videos.  Make your lesson time come alive.  Teach your lesson 2-3 times during the week out loud – you will be amazed at how you will be able to teach it to your students – not just following the words in the book. 9.  After the lesson, be creative!  Students should not just be sitting and waiting for Sunday School hour ...
