No blog posts from me for more than a month because I have been consumed with seminary preparation. I have taught for the past 4 years but this year there were big changes. In our school district we have been given 'religious release time' which means that the Seminary class took up one period of the school day for our kids. And since the high school operates on a block schedule, that meant a class every other day from 7:35 - 8:50. This year the local church leadership felt strongly that the youth needed the added spiritual boost of seminary every day....SO we now have seminary every school day at 6:15! Five lessons to prepare each week! My alarm goes off at 4:45 am! And in case you are wondering I am a natural night owl not a morning person. Yes it is hard but so far so good! And amazingly the kids love it. I have 21 students and 16 of them have perfect attendance 4 weeks in, with very few tardies!
Here's our closet all ready at the beginning of the year!
Our 'on the spot' board - I put a big yellow circle on one of the notebooks each day and at the end of class that person is 'on the spot' to share a thought that they will 'take away' from our lesson....and they have to do it in about 6 words! Then I write their thought on a circle and put it on our board!
Job chart and first scripture mastery poster! You might also notice our motto for the year
"Wake up and be awesome!"
And our theme for the year "With God all things are possible"! Even getting up at 4:45 a.m. 5 days a week!!!
A perfect start to my day....and a great excuse for a daily nap!
