This simple Christmas tree was made by our four year olds.
The children started by coloring and decorating two green construction paper Christmas tree shapes.
Next, they stapled the two trees together leaving a little hole for stuffing…
Next, the children gathered two tissues and wadded them up…
And then the children stuffed the tissue into the open end of the tree…
Once the tissue was inside the tree, the remaining hole was stapled closed…
And they had their very own Christmas pillow!
Every time I think I know everything I need to know about teaching young children, God says, "Hold on a minute!" and gives me a new challenge.
Let me tell ya...
With each new challenge that you overcome, you will find yourself better equipped and more passionate about teaching young children.
God didn't call wimps to lead, teach, or care for His children. Nope, he has high expectations, so get ready. You will have to give your very best but after teaching for over 30 years, I can tell you that it is a wonderful and rewarding journey.
Whenever your calling feels hard, just remember, 'He who began a good work in you (and in the children you serve) will be faithful to complete it.'
