Here is Thursdays blog, one day late.
Word of the Day
This week we looked at the first two commandments and realized that God comes first. God is first in our lives. We can have no other gods besides Him, we can have no idols to worship. I have to look at my life and see if there is anything I put to much trust in. Do I care more about my things than I should. Do I care about my pride. Would I be willing to give away my internet? Hmmmm. Food for thought. God needs to be first in our lives, and nothing should be off limits. That seems so easy, but when you really look at it, it can be so hard. Would I give up my TV? Hmmmm. My house? Everyday, I need to look at my life and make sure there is nothing ahead of Him.
What's up

About Me
- Ben Ceyanes
- I believe that the reason many students fail is because they simply do not see the point of learning. We teach students a lot of information, but they want to know WHY they need to know it. The biggest challenge to teachers this age is to show how the information applies to everyday life. The student can and will learn something if they know why they need to know it. The days of "you need to learn this because I say so" or more recently "you need to learn this because the state says so" are over. I always try to make the information relevant and interesting when I can. They need to know how important math can be in thier lives. I believe that teachers need to begin to work together to overcome the immense task that is before us. Team teaching, collaborative work, and sharing lessons are essential to our success. Just as businesses have weekly meetings, retreats, and team concepts, so must we. Students want to learn. But they want to learn useful information, not just stuff. If we will reach out and let them grow, they will.
