Wow Wednesday Stories from the Classroom over a bunch of watermelon slices

I have been working with a young man in 4th grade who struggles with math facts in any form. We have been working hard on mastering addition facts quickly. He has been taking timed facts tests over the past few years and has never completed one in the time allowed.  In the spring, he took a 5-minute addition test and completed it with 3 seconds to spare!  He was so excited he was jumping up and down with his arms raised in victory! He had the biggest smile on his face, and thanked me for helping him achieve his goal. Then he said, “God really does hear my prayers!” Now he wants to tackle multiplication, knowing that both God and I are behind him.

I am filled with joy that God chose me to work in his ministry!

“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” – Romans 12:12
