If God is good, why do bad things happen? How do we know Jesus wasn’t just another guy? Did Jesus really rise from the dead, or was it all a hoax? Can we be good without God? Our children face a cultural, uphill battle. We live in a world that will be quick to teach that right is wrong, and to offer them blurry lines between what is true and untrue. As they grow up in this world, they are going to start asking good and important questions like: How can we trust the Bible? Are science and faith at odds with each other? Does every religion worship the same God? These questions are vital for them to ask. But it is also important for them to be assured that they are not the first to ask them, and that there are answers to the big questions they have. In exploring these questions, our kids are going to learn that the historic Christian faith is not an untested, flimsy thing, but a grounded, historically tested, and culturally relevant work of God – the same God who invites them to know Him personally through Jesus. Here's how this workbook is structured: This workbook is structured like an apologetics book, but made especially for your child! Just like apologetics textbooks, this workbook tackles one question topic at a time, breaking it down into accessible concepts and including fun activities that engage your child every step of the way. Here's a peek at the table of contents: 1) What is apologetics? 2) Why does it matter what I believe? 3) How can we believe in a God we cannot see? 4) Does every religion worship the same God? 5) Can we be good without God? 6) How do we know the Bible is true? 7) How do we know Jesus wasn’t just another guy? 8) Did Jesus really rise from the dead, or was it all a hoax? 9) Are science and faith at odds with each other? 10) If God is good, why do bad things happen? A God-sized concept in kid-sized language in every lesson: Each lesson in this 95+ page workbook is designed to teach your child rich, biblical theology in an engaging way. On every page they will find a poignant, cultural question asked in a way they can understand and grasp. And then, they will be walked through how Scripture responds to these important questions in a way they can follow, engage, and understand. Finally, each lesson has a Memory Challenge in which they are encouraged to recall a simple concept in response to that day's lesson (EX: "Q: Why does it matter what I believe? A: Because what we believe affects our everyday lives, and God wants me to believe what is true.") Here's what our customers have to say! "Floored by this resource's thoroughness and simplicity. Five stars, hands down!." ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ -Kendra "This workbook is exactly what I was looking for! My son (age 9) has been asking a lot of these questions. And honestly? I didn't know how to answer them myself. I'm so glad I bought this resource so that we can learn together. I'm learning just as much as he is!" ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ -Cynthia Read more reviews below! FAQ What age range are Tiny Apologetics recommended for? This workbook was created with ages 5 to 12 in mind, though we've heard from parents that children as young as 3 have loved it, too! When will my order ship? 1-3 business days. All orders are shipped USPS Media Mail or Priority Mail. What denominational background is this written for? As with all of our resources, this workbook seeks to teach historically orthodox Christian doctrine, without getting into denominational matters. This means that we will teach a view of the Trinity that is consistent with the historic creeds and confessions of the Christian faith (like the Apostles' Creed and the Nicene Creed), but this workbook will not address areas of denominational differences like baptism, for instance. Do you offer any resources that coordinate with this one? Yes! Grab the Challenge Cards to take this content on the go! These will make memorizing each lesson's unique memory challenge a breeze!

When you walk into an interview for a teaching job, you want to feel confident in your skills but also your ability to show them off! In some careers, a resume’ listing experience might be enough, but in teaching, I think it’s a huge boon to go into an interview with a portfolio that really shows the details of that “elementary teacher” position you’ve had (or student teaching). It’s been awhile since I added my On The Hunt for a Teaching Job series, but I know seeing others’ portfolios really helped me (especially as a new teacher!) so I want to share mine. For my portfolio, I picked up a professional binder. Yes, it’s expensive, but you want the cover to say, “I’m credible and you need to look at me!” I used a pre-made Word template to make a cover page and added a photo of me with my class as well as my contact information. In the pocket, I include a resume, and the inside has a matching cover page that works sort of like an informal cover letter. I started with my favorite teaching quote, and used it as a springboard to describe my passion for teaching. I didn’t rehash my resume’ here- but instead wanted to get them interested in me. (Note: Please feel free to use something similar, but please DON’T copy exactly what I wrote. You want it to be unique to YOU!) Another option is to make a brochure. This is really great to leave after an interview, especially if it has a picture so they remember which face goes with which name! Inside, I use dividers to make it clear where I can find certain things. Notice that I said “I can find,” not “the administrator can find.” Administrators may never ask to see your portfolio or have time to do much with it, but if you happen to be in for an interview, a portfolio can be SO helpful! You can see my dividers here, now that I have a few years of experience: Here, you can see my dividers before my last update, when I hadn’t taught in my own classroom. In the past, I just stuck in pages of things I’d done. Most were printed out worksheets, assessments, parent notes, etc. And that was okay, but this time around I decided to show a little more. One HUGE benefit of blogging is that I take lots more pictures of the things going on in my classroom. So, for instance, when I wanted to show my creative lessons, ta – da! I wanted to showcase classroom management, and again, I already had the photos. It’s a great way to not just tell what I would do, but show it. I want principals to be able to imagine me and my classroom in their school! I still kept examples of work and other things behind each section, but these pages made it look really polished. Even if you’re not going to post them on a blog, I’d recommend finding a cheap point-and-shoot camera (or even a smartphone, if you have one) to take photos of your classroom and projects you do. It really helps when a principal wants to imagine you not in a suit, sitting in the office, but in classroom working with students. What’s really great about these pages is that you can print another copy (or go to FedEx Office for more color copies if you just have way too much money) and leave a mini-portfolio at schools without having to leave your nice binder. I used these mini-portfolios when I dropped off resume’s in person, too! When you consider what to include, make sure you think about the basics (classroom management, reading, math, engaging instruction, differentiation, assessment and data, organization), but don’t forget to include a section with your credentials and any honors/ certificates/ professional development/ licenses you may have! (Page protectors will keep you from having to hole punch those important papers.) Think about what makes you unique as a teacher. When they say, “What are your strengths?,” what will you show them? Don’t be afraid to make it unique and bright! For some other professions, you might not want to add color or any element of cute, but I think as long as it looks professional, colorful works really well for standing out. If you’re new here, be sure you check out the rest of this series and my new teacher tips! Next in the On The Hunt series: How to Stand Out (Even Before a Teaching Interview) Thanks for visiting!
