How can I teach them when their basic needs are not being met?
What does every child need?
How do I meet their individual needs?
Jesus was the master teacher, communicator, story-teller.
How do I learn from the greatest in order to effectively get my ideas across?
How do I keep my mind on Jesus- in constant prayer- when I have 20 other hearts vying for my attention for eight hours of the day?
What are ways I can show grace upon grace in the classroom?
God disciplines those he loves.
Do my kids know that I like them? Love them?
"But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, 'Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.'"
He loves them more than I do.
The kingdom of God belongs to (those with the attitude/faith of?) kids.
How can I learn from them?
How do I keep my mind on teaching them greater truths-- like love and character- when I really do need to teach them to add too?
How do I counteract bad habits that are already forming?
What is the point of anything if they don't have Jesus?
How do I get them to understand (and live accordingly) that they are smart and beautiful and desired-- even when they're parents don't think so?
How do I live out the gospel to a 6-year-old?


Next week I start teaching my class full time. My mind and heart are overwhelmed.
