The Prayer Spot
I always loved the start of the school year when I could get organized without the clutter of student work. For me it felt like a clean slate. A well organized and decorated classroom can go a long way with helping create a good learning environment. Most of us pin hundreds of ideas on Pinterest,…

We Will Not Hide It…
Hi, friend! I just wanted to take a moment and boast of our mighty God. I know I shared earlier this year that God has pressed the Book of Psalms into my heart, and at the time, I thought it was for teaching through writing. Lately, though, I’ve come to realize that the emphasis on…

On a ROLL

The Principal Thing
A matter of “principal” Sometimes we get so caught up in our world, our classroom, our family, our lives, that we forget to see others around us. This couldn’t be truer for myself especially. The busier I get the more dominate my tunnel vision becomes. An example of this was during training for my 3-month…

The Small Things
All in a Days Work… One of the dreaded duties of the teacher is the lunch duty. While it’s something that needs to be done, it’s not always the family favorite. It’s loud, crowded, and oh yeah LOUD! Kids take this lunch time and free socialization seriously. What table you sit at determines everything. At a…
