Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
If a student uses the phrase: “the scriptures say” or “the prophets say’, consider if you can take the opportunity to teach students the importance of being able to find and read a scripture during a discussion. It’s best to have scriptures memorized, but if not, teach students how to find scriptures quickly in a pinch. This skill is an absolute MUST for future missionaries and really any person in…

Who doesn’t LOVE Bingo? This is a fun version of it that I made up for singing time. Easy to do! Create a Bingo card with the letters S-I-N-G-O across the top. Then under each letter are the numbers 1-5 in mixed up orders. …
I was positively giddy when the kids left this morning after our very last official class of the year, but now I’m feeling a little sad. I can now understand when teachers say how hard it is when you get released from Seminary teaching. I can honestly say I’ve never felt sad about having a calling wrap up before.

CALENDAR / ASSIGNED READING REPORT I thought I would report on how using the calendar with assigned student reading worked out for us this year. I’ve added this in as a blog entry since it’s a report with my opinions in it. This is how I do Seminary — you don’t have to do it this way. I’m just sharing it because it has been so successful for our class,…

So, the last entry was about me failing to journal. On April 23. :) It’s really not my fault tho — the website has been down even worse since Jared started tinkering with it. Dies about every 15 hours, and I don’t have the will to fight with it when we are close to moving to Drupal 7. I would like to tell you how annoyed I am by the…
