Moral Tales, week... 4, I think?

So among other things I do with my life, I teach religious education (RE for short) classes at my local Unitarian Universalist church. I have done this since a couple years after I moved to Ithaca -- actually since before I officially joined the church, because my priorities are often somewhat disorganized. Anyway, as a result, I've hit the point where I'm not actively volunteering anymore, but I am one of the DRE's go-to people when she doesn't have enough volunteers, and I generally say yeah, sure, where do you need me? Which means this year I am teaching a combined 1st and 2nd grade class, using the Moral Tales curriculum.

This also means I will doubtless end up participating in arts & crafts activities by way of demonstration and solidarity... and then I will inflict my creations on YOU, mwahahahaha!!!

squid, etc.


Today's exercise was meant to be a drawing of ways we see ourselves, which was nominally intended as a tie-in to a story about what a conscience is, but we are not strict about such things and most of the kids ended up drawing vampires and ghosts because Halloween is drawing near. :-)

And I drew a squid. Because I like squid. (Except I cannot remember how to draw them very well off the top of my head, apparently. Nor can I draw crabs worth a damn, but I knew that going in so I'm not much bothered. *wry*)
