Above All! Listen, Draw, Pray

Yesterday my 2nd Graders and I did a listen and draw form of prayer. I shut off the lights and played Above All. I had them get their white boards, get comfortable and draw what the Holy Spirit was inspiring and evoking them to see in their imaginations. I too drew. But beyond the powerful images stirred in my head from the song's lyrics, was the passion and love I was witnessing as my 2nd graders, through the Holy Spirit drew innocent and precious illustrations of Above All....God's love above all!

Dice and Math-A Great Combo!

HELLO!  Welcome to February!

This morning we incorporated dice into our math lesson!  We used math to end groups of numbers.  For example, 5 sets of 3, etc.  Most student got two dice to add and then do groups of the number rolled.  The highest they could get was 48.  For those students who are above the benchmarks, I gave them dice that went beyond 6. Dice-they are cheap, but a very  helpful tool to enhance a math lesson!
