I taught my first Sunday School lesson a month ago. What a complete failure! I'm not used to little kids. I mean, well, I'm an elementary school teacher (in-training), but I started off as a secondary education major. I was going to teach high school biology. But, somewhere near the end of my junior year (I don't know why it took so long to decide) I changed to elementary education.
That being said, I'm not used to little kids-little little kids.
One semester I had a placement in a kindergarten classroom. Every week like clockwork I was asked to do math with one of the girls. Every week I made her cry. And every week I tried to explain to her that crying wasn't going to help the situation, she just needed to do the math. On the reference from my mentor teacher at the end of that semester she said that I had the patience of an angel. LOL. Now, I don't know how true that is.
I've worked at a summer camp for most of my teen to adult life. Almost every summer at the end of the season party I receive the award "Most likely to discipline a random child in public."
I'm not the most gracious of people.
And yet, I volunteered to work a week of Sunday School at my church's morning service once a month.
This blog is my attempt to document my progress and my lessons. It is my hope that somehow this blog turns out to be a resource for others looking for Sunday School lessons. Feel free to take any and all ideas ;)
