Feature Friday - 101 Ways to Praise a Child

Ever feeling like you are lacking creativity when it comes to praising a child? If you are always finding yourself saying the same expression all the time, check this article out: 101 Ways to Praise a Child @ Julie's Journal

Praise is extremely important to a child. Even those certain ones that just rub you the wrong way - find something for which to praise them! It may just turn them around if you start giving them positive attention rather than negative attention by constantly correcting them.

Feature Friday

Today's feature you must absolutely check out! I just love this idea!!! 

At My Bright Corner Rebecca shares this great idea for teaching scripture memory on the bus. I just love how she uses the time traveling on the bus in such a productive way. By reading her posts, you can tell how she pours her heart into her bus ministry and makes every moment count. 

Even if you don't work in a bus ministry you could still use her ideas in a class room setting, so take a quick minute to visit her blog.
