Inside The Classroom: October 2011

http://childrenteach.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

Reflections as a parent, teacher, and curriculum writer; and what the children, in turn, have taught me. Tuesday, October 25, 2011. Answering God's Call: Part Two. What a sweet story! But is it real? As I began my own journey into motherhood, I knew the odds of raising four missionaries was slim. So many worldly influences swirl around my children. I am only one of many voices calling them, pulling at them from so many directions. Then I met Inie McDade. None of Inie's children or grandchildren became mi...

Inside The Classroom: Selecting Quality Literature for Children

http://childrenteach.blogspot.com/2011/11/selecting-quality-literature-for.html

Reflections as a parent, teacher, and curriculum writer; and what the children, in turn, have taught me. Monday, November 07, 2011. Selecting Quality Literature for Children. Several posts back, I reviewed the children's book, "The Creation," by Janice Green. In my review, I spoke about the need for more quality children's books. In case you missed the comment section, here's one reader's reaction:. Read the book first. Value content above visual impact. Be discerning about the values the book is teaching.

Inside The Classroom: Yes You Can!

http://childrenteach.blogspot.com/2012/10/yes-you-can.html

Reflections as a parent, teacher, and curriculum writer; and what the children, in turn, have taught me. Wednesday, October 03, 2012. This past weekend, I was privileged to teach the Yes You Can! Teaching ministry seminar to area churches in Western Illinois. It was a fun-filled weekend as we discovered together how God can use our unique gifts to train others how to live the Christian faith. I'd love to share this seminar with other groups. If your church is interested in hosting a Yes You Can.

Inside The Classroom: July 2010

http://childrenteach.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Reflections as a parent, teacher, and curriculum writer; and what the children, in turn, have taught me. Monday, July 26, 2010. Vacation Bible School: Was It Successful? This past week, our church combined forces with the church next door to do a Community VBS. Our average attendance for the week - ten. That's right, ten. You can do better." I wondered if I had been too intrusive. When he didn't show up for church the next Sunday, I really worried. The night before, I ran into the church, drenched by a s...

Inside The Classroom: November 2010

http://childrenteach.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Reflections as a parent, teacher, and curriculum writer; and what the children, in turn, have taught me. Monday, November 22, 2010. Helping Children Weather the Storms of Church Conflict. Church conflict, while destructive and inevitable because church members are still sinful human beings learning how to set their minds on things above, can be minimized if a congregation is willing to follow the pattern of the Scriptures. When church conflict occurs, the church must be united on at least this import...

Reflections as a parent, teacher, and curriculum writer; and what the children, in turn, have taught me. Tuesday, October 26, 2010. Praying for your Children's Ministry Class. It's seven o'clock Sunday morning. As I check my stack of supplies for my Children's Ministry class, I succumb to my well worn temptation to second guess myself. Have I prepared adequately? Have I selected age-appropriate activities? Who will attend my class today? Unlike a public school teacher who faces the same group of children...

Inside The Classroom: The Little Things

http://childrenteach.blogspot.com/2011/11/little-things.html

Reflections as a parent, teacher, and curriculum writer; and what the children, in turn, have taught me. Tuesday, November 22, 2011. Sometimes - many times - it's the little things that matter. It's the little things that count. You never know what children are picking up, how they are processing what we are teaching them. Our ministry is not just to children - it's to the parents as well. Proverbs 16:9 says, "In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.". My passion is to teac...

Inside The Classroom: Say Know To Teaching

http://childrenteach.blogspot.com/2012/03/say-know-to-teaching.html

Reflections as a parent, teacher, and curriculum writer; and what the children, in turn, have taught me. Friday, March 09, 2012. Say Know To Teaching. I've heard that from so many church members when the plea goes forth for more children's ministry workers. Their body language is almost humorous. They actually take a step back. I can envision their hands coming up, as if to push away the plea. Have you said that? Are you one of those who think you can't teach children? 2 KNOW your students. Learn abo...
