One of the greatest blessings of teaching at a Christian school is being able to boldly share my love of Jesus with my students! In a teacher's life, every school year brings the opportunity to hone her craft, do things better, make more of a difference in her students' lives.
While I craft lessons that incorporate reading, writing, listening, and speaking (you know, all of those standards that our students need to master), I also have the opportunity to point our students to the truths that are found in the Word of God.
This year, I wanted to find a way to make the Word of God and the truths found in the Bible become a part of what we are doing every day - in a more intentional and bold way. I wanted to do this better and bolder than I had done it before. So, in an effort to make this a priority for me and for my students, I have covered the front of the classroom in Biblical Truth!
As we discuss plot and setting and theme and characterization, we make connections to Biblical truths. As we write sentences that demonstrate a variety of sentence structures and grammatical elements, we make connections to Biblical truths. As we read novels that explore that journeys of characters through life situations that might mirror our own or through historical periods that have changed the world, we make connections to Biblical truths.
I have been so encouraged by the discussions sparked by the wall of truth; I can't wait to see what connections my students make next!
