Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
This was adapted from the Ordinary Adventures of a Primary Chorister. I have used it SO many times and it is always a BIG hit! It is adapted from the 50’s and 60’s game show. It is perfect for reviewing songs! I like to use it w…
This was a new, fun idea we used in Senior Primary. They sometimes get tired of sitting and I felt they are old enough to be able to move around a bit without losing focus. Note: I did NOT use this in Junior primary.I made seven cards that …
I just can’t do it all :) This blog is proof positive of that. The house has been cleaner, I’ve been making bread and cooking more often, spent the week of spring break working on the new website and keeping up with the kids’ stuff, but something had to give. Naturally, it was the blog, I suppose. General Conference I did do a review for general conference again this time….

After the lesson on Isaiah 29, suddenly the Isaiah lessons started going much more smoothly. I’m not sure why that lesson was so particularly hard, but it was. That’s the chapter with the scripture mastery in it. I think that I added that one to the reading list. Talk about difficult. But I guess I caught my stride, and the Isaiah lessons haven’t been the terrible slog I thought they’d…

Since this is my first year, I’m still learning and looking for ideas on how to teach students to use the Gospel Study Aids like the Bible dictionary, index, gazeteer, maps, footnotes, and other supplements during their scripture study. Here are a few of the things I’ve used with success, and I’ll add more as I find them. Please share your ideas, too, in the comments section. We’re all learning…

It’s getting easier to get up for Seminary now that the days are getting longer again. It’s such a relief to send the kids out in actual sunlight instead of in the dark like we did during December and the start of January. They still arrive in the dark, but sunrise is just 30 minutes away, and so the sky is lighter and it doesn’t seem so awful. If only…

I know that I have been promising this for a long time now but I have done some soul searching and after looking on line for some ideas and after attending my own ward’s new beginnings I think I have a great idea that could be used (If only I could put…
This week started out more exciting than I’d prefer. My son had some friends over on Monday for the holiday for some sledding and games. Long story short, the visit ended with my son falling from a rope in the hayloft and a giant old metal pitchfork falling on top of him. Some ancestor of mine saved his life by bending up the tips of that pitchfork, and so he…

I promised a friend that I’d blog about what I’m doing in Seminary for 1 Samuel, but I’ve been so busy….. Today I’m catching up, as usual. Report cards and catching up to 1 Samuel 16 This day I had a lot of material to cover because of getting back from the holiday after so many missed days. It was also report card day. Joy. I had the kids working…

We had a regional inservice training the first weekend in January. In this area, Seminary and Institute teachers are invited to a Saturday training that lasts for several hours. This one went from 9 AM to 3 PM, and included lunch. Lunch was the best part :) Our meetings start off with a kind of a keynote address and then we get to choose courses from two sessions in the…

What a fantastic lesson we had in Seminary today! I’m not sure what happened to make things go so well, but wow, this was really a great lesson (from my point of view, anyway). Class started off very silly — like Monday silly — and we even got started a little late with our opening song. We started so late that I only had them sing one verse of Praise…
