For weeks, you might have been left worried about preparations for the first day of school. Being a parent can spell a lot of worry especially if it is your first time to send your kids to school.

First of all, I remember saying our prayers so that God would protect us and keep our day productive. Next, we did our “Pledge of Allegiance” to the American Flag as well as the Christian Flag. Although we have not seen those flags before, we saw pictures on the internet and we let the kids memorize the pledge in preparation for the actual formation. We also prepared a Back to School flag.

After doing all these, we gathered at the school table and began reading the holy Bible.

I recall the oldest student, a third grader, do his bookwork independently. There were three other students that went and listened to the teacher in classroom-like fashion. The two youngest students sat to listen to a story then answered questions after. There was also one second-grade student who wrote down his answers after the story and did more schoolwork long after the other two went home.

I personally prefer such style of teaching. I feel like I am with my family because of the other students learning at the same time. I do not like learning alone. When learning language, we used clay and formed things that started with certain letters so that we would master the alphabet. We did more book work after.

The first day of school can sometimes be the busiest but also the most fun.
