On December 15, a graceful and soothing daily morning devotional was held at Immanuel Academy STL. The teachers shared their grace that day, and one teacher was so moved by the Holy Spirit’s guidance in her life and her work at Immanuel Academy. She expressed many thanks to God from deep heart.
Every morning, the teacher’s devotional provides a wonderful start to the day. Although it is a short prayer and sharing, the teachers’ hearts are united day by day.
On December 13th, Immanuel Academy St. Louis successfully concluded the remainder of the first term’s Parent-Teacher Conference (PTC). Parents who did not have the opportunity to participate last time met with the teachers this time. PTC was held joyfully. Parents see significant growth in their children. The relationship between teachers and parents is very good. They thank each other. Parents testified that during PTC, they could strongly feel the teachers’ love for their children.
Having a regular PTC is very beneficial, it can help parents better understand their children’s school life and help teachers know how to support families more. In the new term, teachers will mainly cultivate two new habits for each individual student. The new term is full of hope and all teachers and parents strive for respect, joy and excellence.
Immanuel Academy St. Louis gracefully held its first term’s Parents’ Conference (PTC) on December 1st.

Immanuel Academy in St. Louis gracefully hosted its first term’s Speech Day on December 1st. All classes prepared speeches to be delivered in front of parents and classmates. Parents said they enjoyed the Speech Day and thanked teachers for their hard work in term one.
On October 26, Immanuel Academy St. Louis started a weekly narration skills training for teachers in grades 4-7. They began to use the classic narration book “Know and Tell” written by Karen Glass for continuous training. Teachers use a narration as a main approach to study this book. They found this very useful and meaningful. Narration is an important method in Charlotte Mason education. If used well, students’ comprehension levels will solidly improve with each lesson. It has proven to be a powerful tool for developing profound thinkers, eloquent speakers, and excellent writers. May their training journey be fruitful and effective.

May all students and teachers gain strength from the Bible studies and draw closer to God every day.
