I serve as the Director of Elementary Education and teach Gospel Light's Sunday School curriculum. During 1999-2000, I was a Sunday School teacher for preschool children at Hyde Park Christian Reformed Church. Hyde Park CRC is comprised mainly of Chinese immigrants & students; therefore, the sermons were in Mandarin Chinese and English. During 1997-99, I was a Sunday School teacher for children (ages two through four) at Covenant Presbyterian Church. Students used the Godly Play curriculum which allows the teachers & children to enact Bible stories using wooden figurines. During 1993-96, I was a tutor (for a first grade child) as well as a summer daycamp teacher (for fifth grade children) in the STRIVE program (hosted by Ellis Avenue Church). STRIVE was for disadvantaged students in the Chicago Public Schools. During the summer of 1996, I volunteered at the Nature Museum and Lincoln Park Zoo summer camps; I helped with children between the ages of five and ten. |
