Practicing our counting, color identification, and developing fine motor skills (with some European geography thrown in, just for fun 🤣) with a modified version of Ticket to Ride this morning ❤️. What games do your kids love to play?

Welcome to another week of #prayersfortheteachingjourney Today I encourage you to pray for DISCERNMENT.
Discernment is defined as "the ability to grasp or comprehend that which is obscure; to judge or decide with careful consideration"
I pray that, as teachers, we would be able to DISCERN what is best for our students. I pray that God would give us eyes to see the specific needs in our classroom and the discernment for how we can meet those needs. I pray that we would have the discernment to know when a student needs grace and when they need a gentle push, when a student needs extra attention and when they need some space, when your class needs to buckle down and when they need some light-hearted fun.
There are so many amazing teaching ideas, activities, and methods available - I pray that you would be discerning about choosing the best method that fits your teaching style and your students. Truth: you can't do it all. Choose wisely. Be discerning.
The verses I have chosen is Philippians 1:9-10 "And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ."
Thanks for joining me - I look forward to reading your specific prayers and lifting you (and your students!) up to the King of Kings.

I had a fantastic time seeing Memoriam: An Adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula from @solacetheatre tonight! What a wonderful show that clearly expressed the hope that the Gospel brings to those who are grieving. Great work to the cast and crew! ❤️❤️❤️

Today I’m thankful for this little one’s thirst for knowledge and love for doing “school games.” I love how he sticks his tongue out when he concentrates and jumps up and down when an important skill “clicks”. I’m so glad I get to have a front-row seat to his learning adventure. What are YOU thankful for today? Share a pic and use the hashtag #gratitudefortheteachingjourney

Day 4 of #gratitudefortheteachingjourney Today I am thankful for my beautiful kitchen. I love the home God blessed us with and my favorite part of the house is the kitchen. I pray that this space is used to fellowship with friends, both old and new, to encourage, to celebrate, to mourn, to discuss the big and small issues of life with my kiddos, to bake delicious goodies and hearty meals, to celebrate birthdays, to host extended family get-together, to do homework, puzzles, art projects, and more! I pray it’s a place we always love to gather.
❓: What’s your FAVORITE room in your house and why? Share a picture and use the hashtag #gratitudefortheteachingjourney so we call all see and be encouraged 😍
