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 81

 

Hard Working Men at CCS

Our headmaster at school recently purchased new smart projectors for our classrooms. I am excited about using these projectors as teaching tools in the classroom. These past two days some men have been installing these projectors into all of the teacher's rooms. It really spoke volumes to me as I watched how hard these men worked. They were so kind and polite to us in the school.

The two men arrived yesterday morning and began working on the high-school hall. When I left yesterday, they had only 2 projectors fully put up and working. We encouraged them to get a hotel room and rest that night instead of driving back to Clayton. Katherine was able to get them a discount for the Jameson Inn. When we arrived this morning the men had not left to go home. They worked all through the night.

They had finished one room on the elementary hall and was working in two other rooms. The kids and I made them a pot of coffee. They were MUCH appreciative. :-) I don't drink coffee so it was quite a sight watching me try to figure out the coffee pot. One kid asked me, "Ms. Hunter, Do you know what you are doing?"

When lunch time rolled around, we offered to go buy them lunch. We offered our extra pizza. They declined and said that they would keep on working and be out soon. I knew that these two men had to be exhausted!!!

The kids volunteered to help gather all of the boxes and trash and put it into an empty classroom. They loved this task and it was a great way for them to serve.

At five-thirty today the hard-working men finally got to go home to their family. This father and son team worked diligently all day, all night, and all day to finish the job, so that on Monday morning the teachers and students of CCS will walk into new classroom technology.

Praise God for this Blessing!

Day 68

Getting calls and or emails almost daily about summer camp!

Be Brief Baby Be Brief

LONG DAY!

I had a LONG day a school today! My kids wore me slap out! We played, built a fort, watched Curious George fixed lunch, played in the gym, finger painted, colored a picture, played in centers....then finally went home! PHEW!

We had men working on our new smart projectors today. WooHoo! Each classroom is getting equipped with these new projectors that work like a smart board on the white board. I think it will be a great teaching tool for the classroom. I am pretty excited about this.

I left work had dinner and finished my night by cleaning, dusting, and mopping.

Needless to say...

I will sleep well tonight! :-)

Day 66

Phew!!!!!!!!

Teacher gets Creative

I began to feel like our schedule was the same ole same ole. I wanted to spice up our schedule just a tad for tomorrow.

So, I created this......

This is our schedule for tomorrow. The jar is full of activities that we normally do and some surprise activities that we don't normally do. The kids will draw out an activity card out one at a time and we will complete the task. When that activity is complete, I will choose another child to draw out another activity card.

I think that this will be a fun way to conduct our day. I will update you tomorrow on how it all turns out!

Day 65

 

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!
