The Art of 7 year olds

I have recently come into the care of 6 seven year olds. Yes my friends I am a CTR 7 teacher. These children have become the best part of my week. Every week is a new adventure, one never knows what you will come up against. One such adventure left me questioning as to the quality of my teaching. One of my little girls was sitting on the window sill and the other one was sitting somewhat quietly in her chair. As the reverent one let out a loud sigh followed quickly by her sisters response "she hates church" I tried to laugh it off and say "she does not hate church" in which my reverent one said "no I hate church its too long." It was in that small moment that I stopped to question my career path of becoming a teacher. If a small child is beginning to hate church because of my teaching skills I cannot imagine how hundreds of adolescents might feel at my so called "skills." 

However with the not so good always comes the great. Like a much needed hug, or the cutest valentines card made just for you, or being told how much they will miss you because they are going out of town for a week. I guess it just leaves me with a bias that my 7 year old class is the greatest class you could have.
