Last Official Day of Seminary

I was positively giddy when the kids left this morning after our very last official class of the year, but now I'm feeling a little sad. I can now understand when teachers say how hard it is when you get released from Seminary teaching. I can honestly say I've never felt sad about having a […]

Job

I admit it. I totally faked the Job lesson. Maybe not *totally*, seeing as I did read the text and had kind of an idea what I'd do if the lesson went short. A student, impressed with the "One Small Voice" video from Josiah movie asked to see the Esther music video today. I showed […]

Fabulous Friday and Esther

On the weeks that we meet 5 times, I plan in a free day. Sometimes we watch a movie. Most of the time it's scripture mastery. This week, our activity fell on (fabulous) Friday. I usually prepare my lessons for the upcoming week on Thursday, and Thursday I had discovered that there was a really […]

Nehemiah on Fast Forward

Today's lesson objective was "students will learn what a great blessing it is to have the words of the law available to them." In order to keep the kids on track with this lesson, I had to help them understand the context. I explained the setting using the Bible dictionary entry we read the day […]
