  You can say that the classroom is where most of what we learn takes place. There is one place, however, where we learn a lot about life, and that's church. It's where we get to praise and worship our Lord, Christ Jesus. Our pastor, Mr. Larry, preaches the Word and gives us lessons that we can apply to our lives. We also have a Bible drill to test our knowledge of the Word. If you win you get a prize. Church has never been so much fun and its all because of LCA. It has done great things for me and always makes me feel better about myself.

  One of our outdoor activities is work projects. Mr. Reed picks out four or five guys in the morning to go out and feed the animals; goats, cows and horses. After that we do a project that he has for us. We have built a barn to put the horses in and dug holes for posts to build an arena for training the horses. Now a group of us are working on a dock so when we go swimming at the river we will have a dock to jump off. You get a grade for the work project and it goes towards your schooling for a credit each year. When you are on a work project it is a chance for you to learn about architecture, tools and construction.

 This past Sunday night the boys were gathered in front of the tv to watch the NBA Finals. Mrs Carmen provided lots of good food for them to munch on while they watched the game. Some of the Celtics fans wore green shirts to show their team spirit! We could tell they enjoyed cheering for their favorite team by all the noise they made!

  Memorial Day, a day to honor all the brave men and women of the armed forces, past and present.  We remember those who gave their lives for their country and those who continue to fight to preserve the freedoms we enjoy.

  We celebrated Memorial Day with a day off school. The boys played softball and we all enjoyed a cookout including hamburgers (of course), potato salad, pasta salad, baked beans and peanut butter cookies. As the first unofficial weekend of summer, everyone went swimming at the river on Sunday. For dessert on Sunday we had a flag cake, made by Mrs. Beth with white frosting, strawberries for stripes and blueberries. It was delicious and everyone enjoyed it. We are proud to be Americans!

 The students help out with the maintenance of equipment at ABM and get to learn the proper way to do it. We used the grease gun to grease the tractor. I had to climb all over the tractor to find all the joints and greasing holes. Half way through we ran out of grease so we had to empty the gun and get a new grease bottle, then we finished the rest of the greasing. Now the tractor should run smoothly.

  This summer A.B.M and its students are going to be able to enjoy fresh vegetables. A couple of weeks ago, the students planted a variety of vegetables, supplied by Mr. Larry and company, in our own garden behind the school. Just a few of the tasty vegetables are juicy tomatoes, hot habanero peppers, refreshing watermelons and sweet corn. We all had a fun time learning the trade of a farmer and what one has to go through every day. This activity made us even more grateful that we have such great people that do this for a living. We are all looking forward to biting into our very own garden.

  One of the boys' most recent outdoor activities is the obstacle course. Mr. Reed gave them various objects such as large tires, boards, cement blocks and buckets. The goal was to get from one side to the other using the given objects however they wished under the time limit of five minutes. Here's the catch: if any member of the team touched the ground, everyone would have to go back to the beginning and start all over. There were some pretty interesting ideas, some worked and some... not so much. The whole idea of this is to develop teamwork and get some exercise, and it's a good way to enjoy the beautiful spring weather!
