Abigail is Teaching K4

Abigail has just started teaching K4 at a local Christian school.  She has been teaching for nearly a month now and loves every minute of it!  She has a total of eight students in her class. 

Getting Ready


First Day

Her students have been learning about how God created the earth, and have memorized Genesis 1:1 and John 1:3.
After they were taught the pledges, Abigail discussed with them what a president is.  And even though it isn't part of the curriculum, they have studied about the first six presidents and keep wanting to learn more!
All the children have little flags, but when they walk outside and see the big flags flying outside the school, they get excited and say, "There's the American flag!  There's the Christian flag!"
They have reviewed shapes and colors, as well as working on manners, beginning phonics, numbers, and other things.
The theme of her classroom is owls, so Abigail helped them make owl crafts.  Each child colored their owl and added feathers and googly eyes.
Abigail said that she has already seen a lot of improvement in their penmanship and memorization skills.  They seem to be learning at a good rate and she cannot wait to teach them to read sight words.
Please pray for her as she takes on this new challenge as a teacher!

Genesis 1:1
"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth."

John 1:3
"All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made."
