The manual is set up for students who have not read Jacob 5, but as you know, the kids in my class read the text and so “discovery” type activities just don’t work for them. How horrible would it be for me to ask kids to slog through Jacob 5 and then make them reread it again in class??? So anyway, I…

2 Nephi 31-Jacob 4
This has been a fun few days for me in class. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m back in the groove or because the stress level is back down or what, but things have been good.
