Our discussions turned to religious subjects and it lasted until class was over. It mean a lot to me when more than one of the children came up to me, shook my had, and said "That was fun. I enjoyed it, and learned something." Maybe I am meant for this. I am a little worried about the spring though. Then I am also going to be coaching Little League Baseball. I will keep up with the blog, probably annoyingly so. And the podcast might become a podcast on the move; being recorded on a digital recorder. Maybe even live at one of my volunteer jobs, lol.
I was secretly dreading last night (Thursday). I had my first Religious Education class, and we also have Girl Scouts. Being a co-leader was something I wasn't worried about. But being a Religious Education teacher was something I was unsure of. I teach a group of 5th graders (10-11 year olds) and I was not sure what to expect. I did introductions, set up the rules, and then we talked. They of course didn't like the rules of no cell phones, even though I showed them that I kept my phone in my pocket so I expected them to do the same. I explained to them if they showed me respect, I would show them the same. And if we worked hard on the lessons we would have more time for some parties for the Holidays and Birthdays.
