Ready….Set…GO!

I’m all set for my first session tonight with the 6th graders at St. Cajetan Parish! I have 9 students so far, 5 girls and 4 boys. I’m blessed this year to have my wife Joanne working as my aide! As always, meet me back here tomorrow to get the summary – the good, the bad, and the ugly – of my teaching experiences!

Here’s my lesson in a box!

How did your first lesson of the year go? Share in the “Leave a Reply” box below!

  1. Blessings on your class. God has chosen each of you to walk together on this journey. I hope you all enjoy learning about each other and that the process will help you draw closer to God.

  2. Thanks for your updates. I really enjoy reading them and get ideas from you. I don’t normally teach, but on our first day of class, I had to sub. Two cute stories from VERY excited 2nd graders:
    “My mom knows all about what you talk about here. She goes to Jesus school.”
    and
    “Guess what?? I got BAP-MI-TIZED! It was so awesome!”
