Growing and Learning Together!

Growing and Learning Together!

Teacher: Toleman
Class: Second Grade
Region: Vieux-Caille

How has God shown up in your class? 
The presence of God has shown up in my class through the ways my students behave. When we teach the Bible with our students, it helps them to have respect and be so supportive to one another. They become friendlier to other students from different classes. 

What are some notable updates or activities that your class has been a part of? What was the occasion and why is it important to your culture? 
Flag Day (May 18) is always a big event for our entire school. The students love to participate in all activities that we do. It is a moment for them to share their thoughts about the flag and what it represents.
Reflection Day happens twice a year to see how their knowledge is developing. We start a debate on a subject and let them share their ideas to us. It is the best way to see how they can express themselves.
Labor and Agriculture Day (May 1) is an important date for us. We always use this time to talk about our environment and how they can contribute to keep their environment clean. 

What is your favorite memory from this year so far? Something that made you laugh? Cry? Praise God?
When we do devotion it is wonderful to see them praying for me and their classmates. I feel so blessed to see how their faith grows in God. 

What are some activities or events that you and your class are looking forward to?
Reading contests, soccer, crafts, and visiting the environment around the school.

Is there a Bible verse that your class has been studying? Or maybe a verse that God has put on your heart during this season? 
We have been studying Colossians 3, verse 23, to teach them they must work well with all their hearts for God, because He loves when we do our best to help our brothers and sisters. 

What would you like to say to partners who are supporting the class and students? 
I want to say thank you for opening your hearts to help these young students in their schooling. Your support will play a great role in their lives by helping them to get a good education for their future. May God bless each one of you for contributing in a good cause and for the advancement of His kingdom on earth. 

Prayer Requests: 

• Please pray that God will open our spiritual and intellectual capacity to better teach the students the essential things they will need for this grade and for the success of the class.
• I want God's presence to be among the students.
