by Cate Waddell, SAMS Missionary to Honduras

This year at Joy Christian Academy, I am teaching English Language Arts to the 5th, 6th and 7th graders. I am with each grade about 2 hours a day.

We have just started reading Miss. Daisy is Crazy in 5th grade. We are about to start Charlie and the Chocolate Factory in 6th grade. We are a little more than halfway through the book Hatchet in 7th grade. Along with reading books we are working on writing, grammar, vocabulary, and spelling.

Our value this month at Joy for our devotionals is adaptability. The students are learning what adaptability is, how we can be adaptable, and looking at some people in the Bible who always trusted in God and were able to adapt well.

I am also helping at the church at the children’s home as the assistant music director. I am also learning and playing the piano in the band alongside the children.
