Teacher Workshop

Kim and I hosted our first teacher's workshop! It was called, "Powerful Presentations and Practical Products." Yes, we are alliterative nerds! The elders have blessed us with the opportunity to teach other teachers. We've been working hard on other projects, and this kind of dove-tailed with those projects.







So on Saturday, Kim and I met with 14 women and discussed strategies to teach Bible classes. The most rewarding part of the workshop was when the next morning, we saw 4 teachers use strategies we had discussed the day before.







Kim blogged more about it on our other website. Check it out. She does a good job detailing it more. And she has cute pictures.






I was married to the copier for several days.








Kim doing a venn diagram with the ladies. Flash back to bad geometry lessons, I know...but it's good for comparing and contrasting.


We learned alot about how to prepare for these, including the fact that we had twice as much material prepared as was presented! Better to have too much, right...?


We enjoyed doing this workshop for our teachers, and hope to be able to continue doing these workshops for the teachers here.

Announcing. . .

A new blog! Well, not new, technically, just revamped. Check out Teaching Kids the Bible to the right. It's a joint adventure between Kim and myself, posting our Bible lessons to that blog. We figured that if we're having trouble teaching Romans (and other lessons) to first graders, other people might be, too. So, we're restarting our posting to that site to help others teach kids Biblical truths.

Each entry (should) include the text, any worksheets we did, and activities. Photos will be included, when available.

We're so excited about this joint effort. If you have any ideas, please e-mail either Kim or myself. We'd love to post whatever wonderful ideas anyone else has. We try to give credit where credit is due, but if we forget, please let us know! We definitely don't want to take credit when it's not ours to take.

We both hope you're inspired and ready to teach little ones!
