A book of daily spiritual encouragement for elementary school children, written by a dedicated Christian educator. As a principal at a Christian elementary school, Joyce O’Bryant would start each morning by greeting her students over the intercom with a prayer and an inspiring thought for the day. Those thoughts and prayers became the basis for this book: a source of Christian encouragement and motivation aimed at pre-school to fifth grade students, speaking to the issues many students deal with on a daily basis throughout the school year. “Little” Thoughts for the Day can be used by elementary administrators and teachers to help students start their days with uplifting thoughts, or by parents who wish to share the thoughts with their children before they leave for school each day. Formatted according to the school year calendar, “Little” Thoughts for the Day includes thoughts relating to various holidays and school activities that make a “big” difference for their young ones.
