Learning is fun?

This week the fourth grade is learning about longitude and latitude and in order for them to better understand this we're playing a giant game of battleship against the other fourth grade class. This is the board before we started. It took alot of time to get all those squares straight.

The kids were really excited about this, they were a little too energetic. I quickly gave all of them jobs, something they were "in charge" of.

These were the "guards" they were receiving the messages and relaying them back to the class. They were hilarious.

These were the masterminds. They were deciding what coordinates to send our missles to. They were so into their job, and they did an excellent job.

And then we had a committee that was in charge of keeping track of where the other team had shot at us. There are some repeat kids in some of the pictures, haha you can tell which ones were so excited they didn't know where they should go.

Learning alot this week. The first days of school came and went so fast and then the routine started up and the real teaching began and I became so anxious about what I was doing, and wondering if I was really ready to be teaching these kids. I keep praying that the Lord would just give me the words He wants me to say and that the rest would just go right over their heads.

He has been faithful in sending me scripture that is comforting. The other day when I was feeling anxious I opened my Bible to Proverbs 16 and stumbled across this verse, "Commit to the Lord everything you do. Then your plans will succeed. The Lord works everything out for His own purposes."

Everyday I live I give to the Lord, and pray that His will be done through me. I am His servant and I want to glorify Him, and even when I don't believe I'm worthy or prepared He is so faithful in comforting me and encouraging me through His word.
