 Colossians 3:23-24
Whatever you do, work at it with all your
heart, as to the Lord and not for people,
since you know that you will recei ve an
inheritance from the Lord as a reward.
Serve the Lord Christ.

I have been blessed in so many ways. Two of the

gi fts God has gi ven me are designing and
teaching, and I gi ve all the gl ory to Hi m! The
awesome thing is that I can merge these two to
create great resources, such as this packet, for
teachers, moms, and students! I want to make
sure that His light shines through me and my work.
I use my packets as an opportunity to let you
know that YOU are l oved by your Heavenly Father!
You have amazi ng talents. Use them for His gl ory.
No matter what you are goi ng through, count on
God to be your rock. He won’t leave you or
forsake you. Ask hi m to guide your path, for He is
the only one that can make it straight. Do
everything you do with all of your heart, as
working for the Lord. God will never change, and
you can count on Hi m to be there. He is FOR you
and l oves you! If you ever have any questions
about this, please email me at

Note: This resource includes a Google Slides version.
Please see the instructions below for access.

Google Slides Access

1. Make sure you’re logged in under the Google Account that
you want to use the file with, most likely your school account.
2. Click on the link at the bottom of this page to access the
digital file. The webpage will ask you to make a copy. By default,
Google Drive will save your copy in your main drive, not a folder.
3. I recommend you make a master copy of the file and put it
in a folder so that you have it to access later on. This is helpful
if you plan to only assign a few pages at a time to students in
Google Classroom.
4. To assign students pages from the Google Slides file, make
a copy of your master. (You can do this by right-clicking on the
file, or while the file is open, going to FILE > MAKE A COPY.)
5. Rename your new copy. I recommend you rename the copy
with a relevant heading. For example: Budget Time Worksheet.
Delete any pages you don’t want to assign.
6. If you’re using the file with Google Classroom, make sure
you make a copy for each student or give clear instructions to
all students to make a copy before editing. Otherwise, all of
your students will be editing the same copy.
