TEACHERS GIVE-AND-TAKE
May 12, 2009 Uncategorized No CommentsEditor’s note: Meg Current joined our conference this year as a teacher of grades 2-3 at Miami Springs Adventist School. I was delighted to discover her actively teaching students to learn their memory verses, rather than merely assigning the memory work as something to be done at home. Here’s how she did it:
-Write the memory verse on a white board or chart paper.
-Use metacognitive skills to model for the student show you might associate pictures with some of the words. For example, you might say: “I am the light of the world…hmmm…when I think of light, I think of the flashlight that I use when I go camping. So I am going to draw my flashlight right above the word.”
-Continue talking out load and drawing pictures above key words. Then begin to involve the children in the free association.
-Finally, tell the children that it will help them to learn the memory verse if they make their own associations.
-Turn on some enjoyable Christian music and give the students time to create their own learning tool by drawing pictures above key words in the memory verse.
