Koda's First Day at School

All ready with his spiderman pencil box

Mommy never left his side

Doesn't he just fit right in?

So we decided to take Koda once a week to this school to give him the feel of being in a school setting and listening to a teacher while surrounded by other kids. This school is located in Pottuvil, just a 10 minute tuk tuk ride away. We chose this school because there is no religion taught in this school and you can't find that too often. The teacher's name is Cavita and she is a long time friend of STN. She teaches the children English, so I will be teaching Koda English at home 3 days a week; then I will take Koda to Cavita's house on the weekends since she has offered to teach him Tamil. Homeschooling is going good so far and I'm learning different ways to have both of the kids involved and then Cody takes Kenai away for some of the time so Koda and I can focus on his school books. We're getting a morning routine down and the kids are both loving it.

Please pray for us in this process of building a relationship with Cavita and her family. Her father is the President of one of the mosques in Pottuvil. From our understanding through STN, Cavita has a understanding and possible belief in JC but not quite sure. Pray for us as we explore this and have a new family as part of our Oikos.
