For my second graders-teaching the fruits of the spirit…
FRUITY RELAY:
Divide the course into teams. Each team will be given a broom and an apple to run a relay to push the apple toward the finish line. When their apple is across the finish line, they will pick their apple up and run back to the team where the next team player will continue to play until all the players have pushed the apple.FRUIT BASKET:
Each team will have a basket of fruit that they will carry on their head to the finish line and then bring the basket back to next team member. Another option would be for each team to run to the team table and put all the fruit into a basket and run back to the team where the team member will run to the table and empty the basket and run back for the next player to FILL the basket and continue to play until everyone has filled the basket with fruit. -
Science: Chapter 6 What Electricity Is
Bible connection: Psalm 147:5 Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite.
Students will learn about electricity and the power of our creator, God. Also, how God gives us imagination to be innovative and create electricity for our homes and businesses. -
In middle school math we cover budgets and planning. From a biblical world view we discuss the idea of ‘counting the cost’ and seeking ‘wise counsel’. We also discuss what it means to be a good steward in terms of finances. Giving and tithing.

One activity I enjoy doing at the beginning of the school year with my kindergarten course is reading a book title “What a like about me”. This book describe every feature of the face. In this activity each students interact with each other by expressing who made each part of their face and retelling the story when God created Adan and Eve in the book of Genesis.

I teach many young students so I often start my art courses at the beginning of the year by reading the”the Dot” book. I ask he students what they can learn form the book. It teaches the students that we can all draw, that everyone’s art is valuable, that we should not make fun of each other and that we can pass on encouragement. It ties in to the scriptures that tell us to love one another. One such scripture is:
Romans 12:10
Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
The book illustrates what kind of positive result can come from acting this way.
