Today marked our very first day at Little Light Academy, and what a beautiful beginning it was!

Each morning before class, our community gathers together in unity — to pray, say the pledge, share our affirmation, and begin with a short devotion. These moments center us and remind us of our purpose:

Our mission is simple — to nurture the light inside each person.
We believe that God created every individual with purpose, with potential, and with a light that can shine brightly in the world.

The scripture that continues to guide our journey is Psalm 119:105:

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.”

This verse reminds us that even when we can’t see the full path ahead, God’s word — through scripture, prayer, or quiet promptings — lights each step along the way.

Our first day was filled with laughter, teamwork, and creativity. We began with team-building games to help everyone get to know one another, followed by a special project:

“My Best Self Shield” — a reflection of each child’s unique gifts and heart.
Students filled their shields with:

Things I love, What I’m good at, What helps me learn How I can help others

It was a day full of excitement, nerves, and joy — a beautiful blend of new beginnings and growing friendships. We ended our first day together sharing homemade popcorn, a simple treat that brought smiles to every face.

The light here is already shining so bright. ✨

Thank you for a beautiful and inspiring Week 5! We loved exploring the world of Natural Apothecary & Homeopathy, from herbal crafts and ginger chews to making natural toothpaste and home remedies. Your kids brought so much joy, curiosity, and creativity to every activity!

Week 4 is officially wrapped, and what an adventure it was!From building a rocket stove and making homemade pizza dough to racing potato relays and crafting with clay, we explored the art and science of fire and cooking with curiosity, teamwork, and joy. We even fired our clay creations, cooked individual pizzas outdoors, and learned how to use flint and steel!

Washing and shearing sheep, making mason jar ice cream, crafting clay medallions and fabric flags, tying bandana bracelets, launching water balloons—and creating so many great memories along the way!

What a beautiful week we’ve had together! 

We learned about dairy, made whipped cream and cheese from scratch, and even tried our hand at primitive crafts. The kids made cowhide tin can drums, homemade clay beads, and practiced weaving on cardboard looms. They also painted with watercolors..Imagination was in full bloom!

For stewardship, we worked hard together: mucking stalls, watering the garden, turning compost, and washing eggs with care. Our animals (and garden!) are lucky to have such kind helpers.

We hope to see you all again for Week 3, starting Tuesday, July 1st!
