Or taking second graders on a tour of the church. Which do you think is harder?

Oh, for some reason, I didn't say "NO" to going up in the choir loft, where the organ is located. Even though the only teaching points for that location were the stained glass cross, and the view of the pews. Both of those items could be seen from locations that did not contain an organ!!

Why do they all need to go to the bathroom? Why? Oh, I know, the water in the baptismal font (which they weren't supposed to touch) must have been cold.

And I got burned on not knowing when Pentecost is. Fortunately, the other teacher corrected me.

Oh, they didn't need to *touch* the water in the font, all they needed to do was *think* about water.

Oh my!! Half the lesson was about water/baptism/the river Jordan.

But, I know for a fact that 3 boys touched the water ... and the microphones ... and the organ ... and the statues ... and the candles. I guess they are kinesic learners. It's OK (the font)/not forbidden, but it would take way too much time for all 16 in the class to touch it. And the organ and the microphones aren't supposed to be touched.

not knowing when Pentecost is

I knew when (Shavuot), but not what.
