Hey Educators,
Have you ever thought about the purpose of celebration? Do you consider it to be a spiritual discipline?
Throughout the Bible there are many examples of God’s people taking time to celebrate. For example, in Ezra the Israelites celebrated before, during and after the rebuilding of the temple. It was a public celebration, involving everyone in the community, that gave God the glory for his blessing on their work. Celebrations were commanded by God for His glory and our good.
This issue of The Chrysalis is about celebration. The activities help us celebrate similarities and differences, and the fall overview celebrates partnerships with Canadian schools. We want to acknowledge what God has been doing as well as encourage and inspire you for your work ahead.
READY-TO-TEACH LESSON PLANS FROM EDUDEO
With every edition of The Chrysalis, we share lesson plans to incorporate EduDeo's work and a global perspective into your classroom.
*Lesson plans are tailored for BC, Alberta, and Ontario curriculum*
February's Lesson Plans: Appreciating Similarities & Differences
We know God made families, communities, and countries across the world different from each other, but do we take time to look at the details? And what about what makes us similar to each other? Encourage your students to appreciate and celebrate our global similarities and differences with February's lesson plans.
