Sheryl Haystead loved teaching kids God's Word. These writings are from her last years of teaching Sunday School and are full of wisdom and compassion for the little ones Jesus loves so dearly--Sheryl loved them, too.

Flour, Flour, Everywhere!

Our room was full of many things today:

  • flour, salt, measuring cups and mixing spoons all in a jumble
  • a rainbow of crayons carefully sorted by color into paper bags
  • blocks and cars and railroad tracks
  • cotton ball sheep, a little toy David and even a lion oh my!

Most of all, however, our room was full of smiles and laughter from the excited children happy to be at Sunday School. It was a whirlwind of helpers! "With love, help each other" (our Bible verse today) was lived out from start to finish.

What I discovered (again!) today: Learning is best when it's part of really fun play! Our Play to Learn time segment is getting longer and longer as our teachers get better and better at connecting the fun play to the learning goals for the day.
