Chronicles of our educational adventures
for the lively and hardworking Little Crew
at Dayspring Academy!
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,
Through the tender mercy of our God; whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Luke 1:76-79

GO DUKE!!!
We all want to go to that school! What fun learning and learning fun 🙂
Me too (ditto Nena’s comments). I want to go to that school…er…NOT! I don’t want to go back in time.
That being said, it looks like you are a GREAT teacher providing a nurturing environment for Little minds to learn, develop and grow together. Carry on with even more exciting adventures.
Wow!! I love the pictures. What a great education.
Lots of Love,
Aunt Marjorie
