Why can’t we get along Charlie Brown?

“I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. “ 1 Corinthians 1:10

As a body of Christ, it is important to get along. Whether it is at school with your classmates, or in the office with co-workers, finding ways to work together is important!

This year, I have had to set an expectation of cooperation in my classroom.

I work at an international school and in my class alone there are students from five different countries. Throw in four languages, a variety of cultures, and, well, growing up- that can be a recipe for conflict.

However, I serve a God that loves His children, and through that overflowing love, my students have learned to see the world through the eyes of Jesus.

Most of the time they work together, share, play together and for the most part– get along.

This Spring I had the privilege of writing and co-directing the elementary musical. The music teacher and I decided to put on a show featuring Charlie Brown characters with the theme of getting along– something part of their everyday life.

We cast the play the end of February have been working hard since. Last Friday we had our performance and it was AMAZING. The kids were so much fun to watch and they really enjoyed the show.
