Kaffee und Kuchen, or coffee and cake, is a typical German afternoon tradition, especially on Sundays.
Last Sunday I had my Intermediate Orchestra kids over for Kaffee und Kuchen. Of course, most of them are a little young to be drinking coffee and actually enjoying it, so I supplied hot chocolate as well.
It was a good bonding experience for the group. We played Apples to Apples and then walked Shadow, both of which resulted in some quotes that sound funny out of context:
- D.P. – “My first kiss? That could be unlucky.”
- Me – “How do you know that couch exists? What if your skin is telling you a lie?”
- D.P. – “My body and bones are fluent in the truth!”
- H.W. – “Shadow’s poo looks like churros!”

The Orchestra and the Dog
It was a fun afternoon with the girls of Intermediate Orchestra. This weekend and all of next week I will be spending lots of time with some older students – the high school seniors. It is time for the senior class trip to Rome! Booklets and maps are printed, subs have lesson plans in hand (or inbox), and packing has begun. We leave tomorrow evening and return to Kandern after a week in Florence, Rome, and Venice. Be praying for this trip. It has a lot of potential for growth among the students.
