Has anyone else here taught CCD before? How did you find it?
I taught CCD for the first half of this year. I taught year 2 (7 years old) and kindergarten (5 years old). The kindie kids were difficult - you can hardly teach them anything, coz you’ve only got 10 minutes at most and after that their concentration is gone. So then they would spend the rest of the lesson coloring in pictures related to the lesson.
My year 2 class was small, only 3 students. Some classes I would manage to teach them something. But there were some things which it was hard for them to understand. Like once, one of them asked me what the bread and wine at church were all about. I told his that it was Jesus’ body and blood. He was really freaked out. He thought that it would taste like flesh and blood.
Oh well. I don’t think I’m very good at working with children. I guess I’m not that great working with youth or elderly people either. Some of the other catechists were pretty good though.
Teaching CCD was hard and not all that rewarding… I could only hope that I was making a positive difference for these children.
Anyone else care to share their experiences of teaching CCD?
