Teacher Resources for all Ages!

I have found a wonderful resource for teachers in Bible Brain Breaks by Barbara Bruce.  This book is a must and will help teachers use their teaching time in a wise fashion and enhance student's ability to learn! This book gives explanations as to why our brains need a break, and activities for all age levels - ages 4-adult!  FUMC teachers - if you would like your own copy, please email becky@firstmethodist.org or if you would like to share this resource with teachers in the community, visit www.cokesbury.com to purchase as a gift.  I promise it will enhance your learning time with your students.
