OK I have been in Primary for three weeks.
The first week I had two girls (one was a visitor), the next week I only had one girl. We had a short lesson and then just had fun getting acquainted. We decided our classroom was pretty dull and she suggested we have some pretty pictures. So this week, I made sure we had some cool pictures, mostly of the Savior.
The first week, I looked at my list of kids and realized that when Madisen moved, I would only have one child who comes consistently. It can be hard on the teacher and student when there is only one in the class. I mentioned it to the Primary President. She said they would discuss it as a Presidency and with the Bishop and get back with me.
this Sunday I started out with only one girl and then they moved two very active rowdy boys into my class.
I love a challenge and am enjoying looking for ideas on how to best present gospel principles in a way that the kids can understand and feel the spirit. These kids are really smart and truly can understand spiritual things. We had a great time.
I now have a Primary tote all packed and ready to go for Sundays. Actually I found a pack of three really cool ones at WalMart in wonderful bright colors.
I could have used some hand wipes on Sunday when they gave out cupcakes. Cupcakes are not my idea of a good thing when you are wearing Sunday clothes. One of my boys managed to get his cupcake on my dress. SOOO, into the bag for next week goes a pack of hand wipes.
The kids were impressed with the colorful magnets I found to hold up our pictures. They all wanted a turn a helping me take down the pictures at the end of class.
So we seem to be off to a good start.
