How do you imbed the fruit of the Spirit into your classroom? Or, if you haven’t previously considered this, how might you go about it now?

I like to imbed the fruit of the Spirit into my classroom during reading by discussing the characters fruits or lack of. We also sing a song about the fruits and discuss the meaning of each one throughout the year.

I would imbed the fruit of the Spirit into my classroom by discussing each fruit and how we can display these characteristics and why it is important. I would have a tree of fruit on the wall so they can see it visually and model that behavior so they can experience it. Each book we read I would ask if the characters are displaying the fruit of the Spirit. If not, what can they do differently.

I do not think that I have deliberately considered this. I would embed the fruit of the spirit in my classroom by allowing correction to be done in a way that was inline with the fruits. This is challenging.

I imbed them into my classroom by modelling them for my students. I can’t expect them to value and exhibit the fruits of the Spirit if I don’t.

Students/children follow by example and the phrase that comes to me is: ‘Your actions speak louder than your words.’ Adults are constantly modeling how we navigate through life’s circumstances.
