i love teaching sunday school. my class is supposed to be 1-3 graders, but if someone is sick or etc., i can have kids ranging from 3 years old to 6 grade. it can be crazy, but i love it. the trick is to not bore the older kids while engaging the little ones.
case in point. yesterday i had jon (4 yrs. old in may), hannah (kindergarten?), andrew (1st), and sarah (3rd). my story was about stephen, the first martyr. intense, right? well, it turns out i was glad because a story about stoning is nice and violent and right up little jon's alley. although, i might have spooked him a bit when i demonstrated what it was like for the religious leaders to "gnash" on stephen with their teeth. i did it to hannah too, so he wasn't the only one gnashed.:)
these are the kid's drawings of "when they forgave someone". actually, jon's photo is of rocks filed by missles, hannah and andrew just drew bands of color, and sarah couldn't think of a time when she had forgiven anyone, so she just drew a hypothetical situation!:) i am married, so i thought of a recent forgiving and drew it right away, but that's personal.:)
