Today, I was teaching a lesson on parts of a book. For example, table of contents, index, glossary, etc. So, to begin, I posed the scenerio: I have been looking for Tornado Alert in my reading book. I just can't seem to find it! Where should I look to find out where it is?All the students know the answer to this question, so there were 21 little wiggling fingers and hands waving at me. I chose to hear from Nareuna, who is usually not paying attention. "Nareuna, how can I find out?" Nareuna smiled, very excited because she knew the answer. "THE TABLE OF CONTINENTS!" Yes, I smiled and even giggled a little. I couldn't help it! I even got her to repeat it! She was smiling so big. Of course, I told her she was right...but that a continent is a large piece of land like North America. I went on to write the correct words on the board: Table of Contents.
Just a little something to make you smile! :)

I was just reading your blog and "Mighty to Save" by Hillsong came on. I loved it so I made an impulse decision and bought the cd on Amazon.
Thanks!
