Week 3: When I consider the heavens...

This last week I was teaching math and science for my 3rd grade class here in Dubuque. Each morning, I have been reading in Proverbs and Psalms and I am continually amazed at the handiwork of God!

In science we are learning about the Sun, Moon, and Stars. The Psalmist writes, "Praise Him, sun and moon; praise Him you stars of light! Praise Him, you heavens, and you waters above the heavens! Let them praise the name of the Lord, for He commanded and they were created" (Psalm 148:3-5). God truly is the an amazing Creator!

Week Highlights:

1. Taught a lesson that Mrs. Poling, my professor, was able to observe
2. Taught the phases of the moon
3. Went to a teachers' meeting at the Dubuque Forum
4. Played racquetball with Dale Twesten (I'm getting better but he still beats me!)
   
5. Attended Carver In-Service
6. Discovered the Emmaus Food Pantry and got some canned goods
7. Started a Blog on WordPress.org that will be for more professional purposes
8. Talked to two boys in the class who were angry at each other
