“Curiosity and the ability to learn are gifts from God. I love to encourage this and provide time and space for students to cultivate these traits. In an ideal world, all learning would remain fun. But even when school and learning don’t seem fun, it is a chance to develop the skills of perseverance and resilience. Proverbs 2:6 says ‘For the Lord gives wisdom; from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding.’ It is important for students to learn the facts (knowledge) and how to use those facts (understanding) in school or on the job. But the best part of everything we learn is being able to take that and apply it to our lives (wisdom), allowing us to live happy, healthy lives and to make a positive impact in the world around us. As Proverbs says, this wisdom only comes from God, and it is my goal that each year children spend with me is an experience where they come away knowing God in a much more real and personal way. Love, fun, hard work, and Jesus.”
