Monday: less

Humility is not thinking less of yourself

it's thinking of yourself less.

{C.S. Lewis}

Thought for Thursday: keeping up

If you have raced with men on foot, and they have wearied you, how will you compete with horses?

{Jeremiah 12:5}

Teacher Tuesday

Summer school is 1 week down with 3 to go! I absolutely LOVE teaching :)
Summer school primarily is for math, writing, and reading reinforcement!

The kids have LOVED racin' thru their math facts with the race car themed math quizzes from 

First Grade Fever. They also track their progress on their own charts which they love to see! 

In writing last week, the kids did an All About Me book creativity from A Cupcake for the Teacher!

I LOVE her craftivities :)

On Friday, we took a walking field trip to a near-by trail! The kids loved counting the squirrels, watching snakes, and enjoying some time away from school on a beautiful afternoon!

Stayed tuned for:

Sorry about the side-ways picture :)

Have a wonderful Tuesday! :)

Monday Meditation: joy comes from the Lord

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation. 

{Habakkuk 3:18}

In the ESV it reads: yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will take joy in the God of my salvation. 

Will I take joy today? Will I go about my day with the burdens of life on my shoulders or will I give my burdens to God and take joy? Will I take joy despite the trials and tribulations? Will others see the joy I have in Christ by my demeanor? 

Take joy

Teacher Tuesday: a start

Well Summer School has started! 

I am SO lucky to have a great class and look forward to being able to do some fun activities 

with reading, math, and writing! 

Had to take a "first day of school" picture :)

The classroom ready to go- the kids got backpacks, water bottles, & books for coming!

(no- I did not put the deco up for 4 weeks!)

The kids are sweet, quiet, and cooperative- what more could I ask?! :)

Monday Meditation

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O Lord:

let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.

{Psalm 40:11}
