This blog is about the joys of discovering Sunday School. Since September 2010 I’ve been teaching a third and fourth-grade class at a Christian Restoration church in the mid-western United States. I’ll be sharing my ideas, the stories we tell, and the insights we gain.
**The privacy of my students is very important to me so I won’t be posting their photos or using their names on the blog.
I would love to know who creates the beautiful materials that you use. They are works of art!
Mary,
That is so kind of you. I’ve made the materials from my craft stash and wooden items found at a local craft store. My dad made the boat from the Nephi story when I was about four-years old; I’ve kept it all these years. I’ve found that making the materials myself helps me connect with the deeper elements of the story.
Thank you for your comment!
Your vine mobile is really beautiful, with more “connections” than you can imagine. I would love to send you a picture of another vine and its story if you would be so kind as to send me your email address. I am going to miss your entries when you start your course!
Thank you.
Mary,
I’d love to see and hear about the vine. Please check your email in about a minute. I am going to miss being in Sunday School tremendously. Thank you for your comment. :-)
I’m puzzled, you teach at a Christian Restoration church, are you LDS as you teach many stories from the book of mormon but Surely Christian restoration church is not lds, forgive my ignorance I’m just curious.
Hi Kairon,
You’re right, our church does use the Book of Mormon, but we are not LDS. We come from the RLDS background. Thanks for visiting!
I love that you are using the Montessori approach to teach your Sunday School class. As a Montessori teacher (Primary: ages 3-6) and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I applaud you for your dedication to your wonderful students as you lead them on their spiritual journey. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for reading! I find I get inspiration from many more sources than Montessori these days, but I think it all works together. Many blessings to you in your work!
