Do you have any clue about the topic? Maybe not. I voluntarily joined Sunday school conducted by our village temple when I was at my university. I thought it would be a great time to have a different experience. I crept into my memory den. Out of thousands of memories, one sweet memory was glittering. It was like this,
I used to teach in Sunday school. I was looking forward to teaching there. As a grownup, I always wanted to contribute to the village positively. I took over the primary section. The primary section is always chaotic but sweet.
It was my first ever experience in dealing with such little souls. I was quite surprised on the very first day as their teacher. Every child is unique in their way.
you will have to always watch them, and sometimes they will call you with some sweet names. Everyone wants to keep your attention on them. They always want to share their lunch with us. Some kids want to mark their books with colored pens, and some may secretly ask to give them “star” marks. (what a pure soul!!) However, navigating with these power bundles was not an easy task. You need to firmly embed in to the process then the navigation becomes a “piece of cake”.
New Lesson For Me…
You would never understand how keen they are on you. One interesting thing happened on a certain day. I was continuing my lesson with the kids. Suddenly, one little kid stood up from the seat like a spring and asked, “Miss, excuse me, you are missing your earrings.” My hand touched my left side ear voluntarily. Yes. He was right, and it is missing.
The whole class started to find the missing piece. I had no idea where it would be. Little souls were so upset and started searching turning the class up side down. After about a half and hour search, I asked class give up searching . Weeks later, kids were playing outside and I was in the classroom with some paperwork. One kid came to me with laughing eyes.
“Here it is; it was near the pagoda,” he dragged my hand and put the lost earring on my palm. This incident taught me how keen these little buds are over the people around them. How much do they love to see smiling faces around them? They want you to be happy, nothing else.
My memory with them is a rewarding one. How is your deal with the little souls as a teaching figure?
