Letters to Ms. Hunter

Translation: I wanted to go home, but my Mom told me about After Care. Then it was fun and I went home.



Translation: The Lord is our Shepherd. He takes care of us. He will guide us when we are not listening and in Heaven.

Oh the joy! Steal my heart!

Day 74

Created to Worship and Obey

I had the opportunity to speak in elementary chapel this morning.

Here is what we talked about....

God spoke into existence                                           the day

the night

the land

the sea

the birds of the air

the creatures

God created and formed into existence male and female.

God spoke creation into existence. God created and formed man into existence.

Male and female he created them in his image. Gen. 1:28

God gave them the mandate to be fruitful and multiply. God gave male and female a purpose for living. Gen. 1:29

God gave Adam a job. His job was to cultivate and keep. The hebrew translation of cultivate and keep is worship and obey. Gen. 2:15

God created us to worship and obey Him.

God created us to worship Him.

How can we worship God? How can we praise God?

Worship is ascribing to God his worth, glory, and honor. Praising God is our response to what God has done for us on the cross.

We can worship God through our thoughts, words, actions, and prayers.

God created us to worship Him.

God created us to obey Him.

How can we obey?

We obey God by honoring his word and commandments.

What is the greatest commandment that we are given?

Love God and Love Others

We obey God by



We are created to obey.

The sole purpose for all human beings living here on this earth is to worship and obey God by ascribing to God all of HIS glory and honor.

100 days

Today was the 100th day of school! Man this school year has passed by fast.

One of my colleagues played the neatest game with her students. She placed 100 stickers numbered 1 to 100 all over the room in three different colors. The kids had to find the stickers and color in the number on their hundreds charts. The kids had a blast searching for all the numbers!

I had my 7th grade students type a list of 100 things that they have learned thus far this school year. Oh, you guessed it...I got moans and groans. However, I softened the blow with chocolate candy! :-)

Summer camp is coming fast!

Day 30!

Puzzle Explosion

How did the my back table of my classroom get to look like this?


Well...

It all started with this....



One of my students put this together, but it was missing pieces. So, she got another puzzle out to find the missing pieces.

 

We found some of the missing pieces, but not all of the missing pieces. So, we did this..



Then this....



Then this today...



 

So, today we decided to take all the puzzles out and work on them to find missing pieces. Yes, we have been somewhat successful. We are determined to find all the puzzle pieces! I am determined to frame them if we find the missing puzzle pieces.

We worked almost three hours today on the puzzles. I am impressed with the diligence of my after-school kids

Therefore, we end up with a table that has exploded puzzle pieces.
