Today's Prayers for the Teaching Journey prompt is

Today's Prayers for the Teaching Journey prompt is LOVE.
As you head into this week pray for a renewed love for teaching. Remember why you wanted to be a teacher. Remember the calling you felt to be a teacher.
Love your students well this week. Pray that you would take time to intentionally invest in each of your students, even the ones who make it tough for you to love them. Pray for them by name and look for opportunities to show them God's love this week.
Love your coworkers well this week. Pray for them, that they would love and serve their students this week. Pray that there would be an atmosphere of cooperation over competition on your team.
Love your family well this week. Teaching is oh-so-important, but your family is your God-given mission field. Pray that you would keep your priorities properly aligned.
This week's verse is John 13:34-35 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." Heart Check: Do people - your students, your coworkers, your family, strangers you meet - know that you're a follower of Jesus by the way that you LOVE?
This week we celebrate Valentine's Day and tell those we love how much we appreciate them. Let's not get too caught up in the commercialism of it all and forget about the greatest act of love: God sending His one and only Son to die a sinner's death so that we, sinful people, could be reunited with our loving Creator.
Cling to this important truth this week - and every week. ❤️ Is there someone/something specific you're praying for? Leave a comment below - I'd love to join you in prayer to our loving Father.

The Night Before Valentines Day is a sweet story t

The Night Before Valentines Day is a sweet story that shares about what kids do the night before and the day of Valentines Day. It is written in a rhyming poetry style, much like the original The Night Before Christmas. It has sweet, relatable characters and activities - and the comprehension possibilities are endless! I’ve created a print-and-go unit to extend the book with your pre-K-3rd grade learners. Swipe ➡️ to see some of the pages in action! DM me if you’d like the link to the resource so you can simplify your lesson planning this weekend! 😍👌

Remind your students about how high, how long, how

Remind your students about how high, how long, how deep, and how wide the love of God is (based on Ephesians 3:18) with this print-and-go craft. I've discounted it 50% off for the first 20 students, so grab it right now! Use this print-and-go craft with your elementary students at Valentine's Day, at Easter, or any time of the year! ❤️❤️❤️

We had a FANTASTIC Galentines party (a Valentines party to celebrate your best gal-friends!). The moms drank coffee and chatted while the toddlers made valentines. It was a huge success - though slightly chaotic with 18 kids running around 😮🤣😍. One day we’ll have a quiet evening out to celebrate our friendship, but for now this was the perfect picture of our messy, wonderful everyday lives ❤️❤️❤️. I got my decor and craft supplies from @orientaltrading and it was such a great experience! They had so many options to choose from and shipping was so quick. I highly recommend checking them out it if you’re planning a special Valentine’s Day party 😍👌. #orientaltrading #otccupidsquad

Welcome to another week of >>Prayers for the Teach

Welcome to another week of >>Prayers for the Teaching Journey<< Today let's pray for INITIATIVE.

Do you have a situation in your classroom that isn't going as planned? A student not grasping a particular topic? A student struggling with on-going behavior issues? A disagreement with a coworker? Websters defines initiative as "an act or strategy intended to resolve a difficulty or improve a situation; a fresh approach to something." Pray for initiative, or the eyes to see new potential solutions. Pray for the initiative to find new creative ways to teach different topics. Pray for the initiative to reach that difficult student, the one that acts out because he desperately needs to be heard, to be noticed, to be valued. Pray for the courage to take the initiative to set aside your differences with the coworker you don't see eye-to-eye with. Pray that God would flood your mind and heart with a desire to seek fresh initiative instead of just letting things continue as they always have.

1 John 3:18 says "Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." I pray that you are motivated to take the initiative this week and make your classroom a place where students feel safe, loved, and valued by you and by their loving Creator.

What are you praying for this week? Leave a comment below - I'd love to join you in praying!

I am always on the lookout for quality Christian b

I am always on the lookout for quality Christian books for kids, which is harder to find than you’d think - but these books from @catechesisbooks are AWESOME! They are age-appropriate, beautifully illustrated, and most importantly, Biblically accurate. This new one, Jesus Heals: An Anatomy Primer, reviews the parts of the body and includes scripture on every page. The Baby Believers series is one of my favorites and this new addition did not disappoint! I highly recommend it if you’re looking to add to your collection of quality Christian kids books 😍👌. Grab it on amazon or catcheisbooks.com
