Counting today, there are four more days of classes until a 13 day break. What a first semester it has been. This has been the craziest year of teaching in my 20 plus years and in some ways the most rewarding. I am so proud of the moms in my Family Literacy Class!!! They have learned a lot, not only English but also technology.
The first few weeks I used a strategy with the in class students. During conversation practice, I had the moms, who had not joined via Zoom in April and May, come to the front and join me with the students remote learning. By doing so, it allowed for them to become curious about Zoom and they began to ask questions which led to me showing them how to use Zoom.
Now they log onto Zoom quickly when I tell them to do so. They have also learned other programs for learning English and for reading with their children. They have blossomed.
If I had pushed them on the issue, they might have been resistant. But by creating a situation where they could observe and ask me, they had ownership in the choice to learn.
God gives us opportunities to learn and grow. He has created us with abilities and talents and gives us opportunities to explore them and learn as we go.
He has done that for me even during this pandemic. I have gained new skills as a teacher, in ministry, and in life. My desire is to incorporate the skills gained into my teaching and ministry after the pandemic is over.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.

Grateful for all He has done for you in these times. 🙌
Abba is good. 😊
He is good indeed little sister 🙂
He works all things together for good for those who love him. If this sends, I’m wondering why I cannot get to my own wordpress today? Blessings for your end of term.
Thank you 🙂
I hope you have a WONDERFUL break!
Thank you 🙂
God has truly been faithful. Glad you and your students are doing well.
God has come through
Aah yes, the opportunities to learn and grow.
Sometimes make me want to puke and throw.
But I do understand.
He has a plan.
I just wished
If I could insist.
He’d run it by me.
So I could see.
😅😉😅😉😅😉
If he showed me the things I would go through before they happened, it might scare me lol
It wouldn’t scare me at first…
Cos I’d try my last trick….
Walk around with Him and negotiate….
Like Abraham did for Sodom and Gomorrah…
😅😂😉🤭🙃😅😂😅🙃😉🤭😅
If that didnt work….well…damn ….I’d probably not be scared knowing the outcome…but I’d not have the inclination and desperation and desire to learn ….probably 🤭😂😅….
But I’d really try negotiating for a better deal 🤣😅😂😜😝🤫🤐🤭😂🤣
