Bible class de la Profe Katy


La Profe Ashley has been letting me teach bible a lot lately. She's pretty stinkin encouraging, and I love that about her. At Makarios, we stick with the same bible lesson for the entire week. That sounds redundant, but the preschool poopers seem to do well with it. We try and change up the activities and such, so they don't get bored with it.

Some lessons are kind of difficult to explain to a 5-year-old! One week, the outline said "Jesus promises us a great future." The reading passage was John's vision. Explain revelation and eternal life to a preschooler, yipee! Anyway, I embarked on that journey. By day 4, they were getting the idea, but here's a little picture of day #2...

(Ashley asks the kids right after the lesson):

P. Ashley: Cuando alguien que ama a Dios muere, no su cuerpo, pero su...
Jeson: Espiritu!
P. Ashley: Si, espiritu! Adonde va su espiritu?
Marileidi: La selva!


*ENGLISH TRANSLATION*

P. Ashley: When a person who loves God dies, not their body, but their...
Jeson: Spirit!
P. Ashley: Yes, spirit! Where does their spirit go?
Mariledi: The jungle!

Oh, Marileidi. In my defense, she might be the most unfocused kid in creation, but thank goodness I had another two days to redeem that lesson!
