Writing: If I were a … By Susie (grade 5) If I were a RAINDROP, I would sail out of the clouds and come down … down … to the earth. I could see for miles and miles around! It would be fun. I would go into a circus tent to the elephant’s pail of water. He would pick me up with the other water and squirt me through his nose. I would go sailing away and land on a little girl’s nose!

Writing: What I want to Do This Summer By Susie (grade 5) This summer, I want to help my mother work. I also want to play with my sisters and brothers. And I want to move our doll things into our playhouse and help plant the garden. I also want to teach our mini pony to jump over things and to be ridden bareback. I also want to learn to make bread and pie. And I want to learn to sew if my mother lets me.

Good Advice for a Parent By Mrs. Rudy Kathryn Detweiler
Before your children go out the door for school, bow and say Our Lord’s Prayer with them and have them say it out loud with you. “Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the Power and the Glory forever. Amen Most of us Amish can memorize this in German for our children. With all the sad happenings nowadays, this is important.
