When I think about what helps me create a joyful atmosphere in my classroom, I’m reminded that joy means putting Jesus first, others second, and myself last. This perspective guides the way I teach children to share, encourage one another, and care for their friends. Being able to share the love of Jesus every day—and reminding the children that He loves them in both good and hard moments—fills our classroom with true, Christ-centered joy.
