Kit-Kat

One of my all-time favorite books. It is just a great book.

Okay, yes very late making a comment - but just wanted to say that Lands End has modest swimsuits - some are expensive, some are not. Of course right now in November there is NOT a very big selection! You can also mix and match tops and bottoms. I really like their tankini.

Beautifully said. Thank you! The problem I encounter often is having a boss who asks me to go against policy.

One idea I found works well with Sr Primary is my 'Crazy Singing Hat'. I took a big straw hat and hot glued all sorts of things on it - feathers, pom-pom balls (all colors & sizes), flowers, foam shapes - lots of things to make it crazy, colorful, and fun. I would use this a lot when I had a review week and wanted to sing a lot of songs. Start out with one of the Primary Presidency wearing the hat. They will be watching to see which class sings the best and then their teacher will get to come up and wear the hat. Most children want their teacher up there wearing the crazy looking hat. Then that teacher would choose the next teacher, etc. I would start out this way. After a few times of singing, the children wanted to wear the hat and were very respectful and sang to be able to wear the hat. The children really need to be involved when learning a new song. I like the idea of having them draw pictures - you can have the class you're having difficulty with help you do this. Several weeks before you are going to teach a new song, go into their classroom (get permission from the teacher before you surprise them!) and ask for their help. Then have the word(s) or phrase printed up to hand out to each child in the class, if need be they could work together. You may need to explain what you need to be drawn/colored. Do not have anyone draw a picture of Heavenly Father or Jesus. Example: Families Can Be Together Forever - Phrase 1 - I have a fam'ly - they draw a picture of their family; phrase 2 - here on earth - draw a picture of the earth, etc. Give them a week to do this or if possible have them draw the pictures right then in the class - if the teacher is okay with that. You will then 'frame' the pictures (glue them onto poster board, cardstock, or something similar so they will stand out.) When you teach the song, let everyone know who helped you with your visuals. They will love being a part of 'teaching' the song. Oh, an idea to display these is to have a clothesline strung across the room and hang the picture up as you teach the phrase. The next week you could have all the pictures in the wrong order and they have to get them in the right order before you can sing it.
