Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction. (2 Timothy 4:2, NIV)
When I teach, I can go to preaching so this verse seems appropriate for today as I go to share with the St. Luke's Methodist Day School Teachers.
What a privilege. What a responsibility!
Kids count---a lot. Teaching counts---a lot. My words need to count---a lot.
Words to be useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, (2 Timothy 3:16)

| A cuppa "TEA-raining" served in my sheep mug and tempered with responsibili-TEA, as I go forth to feed His sheep, to those who will be tending His lambs. What a privilege. What a BIG responsibility! |
LILES LEARNINGS FROM THE TRENCHES OF
PRE-SCHOOL
(nothing earth-shattering, just
observations)
- · Don’t rob a child of his childhood.
- · Allow children to think outside the box.
- · Allow children to color outside the lines or create their own lines.
- · First impressions have lasting significance.
- · Never do anything for a child that he can do or learn to do (with developmentally appropriate guidance) on his own.
- · Separate and simplify. (Break down into doable steps.)
- · Train the eye, at an early age, for the reading experience.
- · Without comprehension there is no reading.
- · The more one reads (or is read to) the more one knows when he reads.
- · Don’t stop reading aloud. Pass it on, even at home.
- · It does matter what one reads.
