I Love Crafts

I think that's my favorite part of being a teacher. Although I haven't done as much of that this year, I've taken on another equally exciting thing for me, a teacher store. It's like an Etsy store but for teachers. I make a lot of resources that I use with my kids and now I can sell those things that I make for myself to other teachers. It's an exciting little side "business" experiment that I'm trying for 2013. If it's not very profitable, I won't continue it after this year, but I'm already making the stuff, so I decided to give it a try. I'm optimistic about it.

I like that part of Sunday school too. I have a group of kids that are mostly good friends so they are very chatty. This makes reading the Bible and learning time difficult. Craft time is a time for me to zone out their complaints and let them talk while we make our craft. It's a necessity. Otherwise the Bible conversation is constantly being derailed.

I like foldables!

Jesus calms the storm

Psalm 56:3 -- When I am afraid, I will trust in you!

Jesus feeds the 5,000+ crowd

John 6:48 -- I am the bread of life.

Jesus walks on water

Hebrews 12:2 -- Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, 

the author and perfecter of our faith...

As I read and plan for these Bible stories and lessons, sometimes I think it would be fun to make them into books for kids to read. (Or for adults to read to kids.) I wish I were a better artist, though. That sounds like fun.
