My response, with a grin, is, “I
am the happiest teacher around,” and how could I not!
First, I get the opportunity to
teach about the Creator via the amazing world He created. Did you know the chickadee loses and gains
10% of its body weight each day, fish scales have rings much like the rings of
a tree trunk, and termites are a great source of protein and taste like
pineapple?
Second, I get the opportunity to
share THE TRUTH about this country’s founding.
The text of our eighth grade history book is saturated with God and His
hand in the formation of this great nation and clearly points to Him as the
sustainer of it.
“Consequently, these Englishmen looked on
the New World as a haven where they could freely worship God. This reason for settlement distinguished the
colonial heritage of the United States from that of other European colonies.” From The American Republic by BJU
Press.
Finally, I get the opportunity to
share the Creator via the orderliness of mathematics. Two plus two, two squared, and the square root of
sixteen all equal four because an awesome, never-changing God created and
sustains all things. Math is a testimony to God’s faithfulness, consistency, trustworthiness,
and power.
I know the tremendous responsibility teaching
here at MVCA and it is a task I do not take lightly. As parents who have entrusted your children
to me I will do my very best to give them the best Christian education possible
with God’s help and guidance.
PS…Rest assured there has been no “sampling”
of termites during a Friday lab. The
book gave us this tidbit about termites and their taste.
