Why Thanksgiving Is On Thursday

In the '80s, our family lived on the panhandle of Florida. My sons were pre-K and First Grade in a little place called Rocky Bayou Christian School. When I asked why they weren't doing more for Thanksgiving, I was told, "Oh, that's a Yankee holiday."

I'm proud to say that's true.

4. All-About-You Activities

http://www.educationworld.com/a_lesson/lesson/icebreakers_for_kids_2.shtml 

 Teachers can also get feedback from kids concerning their personal favorites, current events,  and hopes and dreams and do a class comparison. This activity can be connected to just about every discipline. It is also a good break from the hard-core core curriculum. 

5. Gathering Feedback from Students

http://cft.vanderbilt.edu/teaching-guides/reflecting/student-feedback/

Giving students a choice--and you can notice and acknowledge that choice. You learn more about the kid, and the child feels validated that you noticed.
You can learn a lot about a child by their choices.

I Will Send You Another Comforter

Art by Twila Carney Schoeppner

 

The Spirit of Truth, The Message Bible

15-17 “If you love me, show it by doing what I’ve told you. I will talk to the Father, and he’ll provide you another Friend so that you will always have someone with you. This Friend is the Spirit of Truth. The godless world can’t take him in because it doesn’t have eyes to see him, doesn’t know what to look for. But you know him already because he has been staying with you, and will even be in you!
18-20 “I will not leave you orphaned. I’m coming back. In just a little while the world will no longer see me, but you’re going to see me because I am alive and you’re about to come alive. At that moment you will know absolutely that I’m in my Father, and you’re in me, and I’m in you.

Alexander Scourby has the loveliest voice for interpreting the Bible.

Pre-K to Grade 2

Pre-kindergarten through the second grade is a crucial time for parents and educators to recognize early warning signs of learning disabilities (LD). Features of LD may be hard to spot during this time, however, as children can mask their struggles by playing up strengths and hiding weaknesses.
