Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
When I first began teaching, I kept hearing people say that teachers should “teach with the Spirit”. What did that even mean? It’s not like I can control when the Holy Ghost testifies or if another person can hear or listen to him, right? Does teaching with the spirit mean I should scrap the manual and wing my lessons? A lot of teachers I observed didn’t feel a lesson was…

By Darcie Johnson Mangum Darcie Johnson Mangum : #DandC30thru32 class was amazing today! I had decided to have the students read these sections, looking for their favorite counsel and encouragement for missionaries, and then we would make a collage of their favorite phrases and verses to give to our elders and sisters serving in our ward. So they read, and when time to share, I didn’t even have to draw…

By Coleen Machiel Castro Coleen Machiel Castro : Today for sections 31 &32 I was lucky to have one of our missionaries from our ward who returned last night come and speak about blessings he received on his mission. Then we played “pass the chalk” students skimmed the sections for blessings the Thomas, Parley, and Ziba would receive. They would write one on chalkboard and pass the chalk to another…

By Wendy Milam Gorner Wendy Milam Gorner : Thinking way ahead! April 6 is on a Monday in 2015 and I thought it would be cool to have Birthday Party for the church and somehow have the kids review all they have learned up to then about the church. Not sure how to do it and unfortunately it’s a holiday here in British Columbia, Canada, but I think I would…

By Rachel Young McClelland Rachel Young McClelland : Who posted the lesson idea of showing a video of a missionary opening his/her mission call related possibly to dandc 30-34? Does anyone else remember reading that one? Was it in the comments or an actual post? 2 (5 hours ago) Jill Poppleton Velez : I remember seeing that post. Can you search in the group something like “missionary opening call” to…

By Shauna Hostetler Shauna Hostetler : I am adapting this object lesson as there are several missionary themed lessons. One of our discussions based on this object lesson is the difference in preparation of missionaries then and now and the similarities. Refer to D&C 24:18 about going without purse or scrip back then and compare to the list a missionary now receives with his/her call. Always emphasize the similarity of…

By Gabrielle West Gabrielle West : As I wrote on Friday, our kids worked separately to answer several created missionary opportunities in honor of the “mission call week” we are reading about in D&C. Today, they learned the benefit of companionships, as they studied together the created challenges I presented them with classmates struggling with scripture study. The benefit was twofold; they worked together much like a mission companionship would…

By Gabrielle West Gabrielle West : This month we have had a ward 40 day fast in support of missionary work as well as trying to purchase land for our growing needs. In support of that effort, I divided the kids into two even groups, Group A and Group B. They were each assigned a topic and a scenario and then were asked to find a D&C scripture to correlate…

By Lynn Durkee Lynn Durkee: We are doing Gabrielle West’s missionary week and I called my kids today! I used the mission page (www.lds.org/new-era/1973/06/missions-of-the-church-of-jesus-christ-of-latter-day-saints?lang=eng) to select 20 missions and wrote each of them on one of the cards. We did #DandC32 and #DandC31, and I assured them there would be lots more lessons on missions and calls next week. I am excited to play along, although I will not do…

By Janae Clark Anderson Janae Clark Anderson: what are your rules on electronic devices. (41 minutes ago) Josh Donat: Our stake policy is that each student should bring a paper copy of scriptures. Since 40 percent of our missionary force will be using digital scriptures, it’s appropriate to teach the kids how to use those in seminary. Also, we take opportunities with students to share and testify via social media….

By Lauri Rhoades Lauri Rhoades : #dandc30 #dandc31 #dandc32 These 3 sections comprise 2 lessons in the manual, but I combined them today and did 1 lesson focusing on the missionary work and a little more “history”. Worked well if you are already looking to make up (or free up) a few days! 2 (34 minutes ago) Source:: LDS Seminary Teacher Group
