This.
This is what makes me so happy. 😍
This week we are studying Ephesians 4 and talking about kindness. What it looks like to be patient with one another, to speak with love, and to build one another up.
This little guy is a first grader reading at a fourth-grade level. He is incredibly bright. But he is also funny, curious, energetic, loving, full of questions, and still very much a little boy and So loving.
And I never want the pursuit of academics to make us forget the child sitting in front of us.
Sometimes learning looks like a book and a pencil.
And sometimes it looks like this, sitting on the floor, eye to eye with a coach who is listening, encouraging, asking questions, and reminding a child that his voice matters and their actions create the life they want.
We want our children to question.
We want them to wonder.
We want them to move.
We want them to know that being smart isn’t only about getting the right answer.
Our job isn’t simply to fill children with information.
It’s to build them up.
“Be kind and compassionate to one another…”
Ephesians 4:32
This is the Schoolhouse.
And this is the part I love most. 🫶🏽
