Day 29

Another good day at school!

Got to school this morning and I opening the door to my classroom and immediately I was hit with the aroma of old lady perfume...Ummmmmmm?

"I'm really going to miss this class.  I never thought I'd say that!"  That was said within the first five minutes of my first class people.  Class dismissed!  Another confirmation that things are going well.

Today they gave their presentations on the 7 sacraments.  They made me so proud!  While their presentation skills didn't necessarily blow me away, they were able to remember a lot of the content we covered over the last almost 5 weeks.  That's a lot!  They even had things that I said and didn't see any of them take notes on-which means they are listening and retaining so much!  

I asked each of them to tell me something they learned after they gave the official presentation so that's what good.

In my last class, I asked if they had any questions about the sacraments.  I got really excited when one of the guys raised his hand.  This is what he said:

"This is a little off topic, but I've been wondering this for a couple of years now."  (Now, I'm getting excited.)  "Where is that guy's head?"  

2 things.

1. That is a bowler.  I thought it was a man with his head down in frustration.  And I thought he had a pointy nose facing down but that in fact is part of his chest.  Does anybody else see that?  You can imagine our pretty funny discussion on this person depicted on my wall along with the rest of the wall.

2.  I really dislike the back wall in my classroom.  

To finish up the day, I put together a poster as an example for what I'm having my students do.  

The first objective for teaching Morality is : "Understand God's desire for us to be truly happy or joy-filled on earth while calling us to eternal life with Him."  This assignment will touch on that, continue to foster friendship and conversation in our classroom, and a add to our wonderful classroom environment (aka cover up that back wall).

So, we're making posters that describe us- what makes us happy!

Here's mine:

 I am so grateful for the people and opportunities placed in my life.  I'm beyond blessed.

Please pray for me as I continue to lift all of you up in prayer.  

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
