Fostering organizational skills through play

This is a  pile of magnetic numbers and a magnetic cookie sheet I bought at the dollar store. I have been organizing my activity boxes for future use…

There was a second cookie sheet on the table without any magnets…

As Tristan sat down to play, I realized that his focus wasn’t on the numbers or the order of the numbers but it was on the organization of the magnets…

As Tristan played, I reinforced the words organized and unorganized through casual conversation…

Tristan was proud of how he was able to organize the magnets…

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.'
