Wow. Last week was tough! General Conference was exactly what I needed to get recharged. I was so proud of my class today. Everyone came, and some of my "surly birds" came early or on time. Yes!
Last Friday I held individual interviews with students so that we could go over their binders, attendance records, and scripture mastery verses. It was a neat time to talk with them personally and express my care and concern. I had them evaluate themselves, based on the information noted previously, and then I sent copies of that information to their parents and Bishop for a progress report. I think it was a good idea for the parents to see where their kids were at, especially right around Conference time. I'm hoping it will revitalize our group.
I'm trying some new tactics for lesson planning too. Rick and I went over my outline together last night so I could practice a Reader's Digest version of the lesson. He pointed out some of the holes and helped me work through some of the activities I planned. Things went so much better today!

General Conference is always a great pick me up! I'm glad the kids are happier.
ReplyDeleteI always loved the post-Conference discussions. Did you think Elder Holland's talk was as amazing as we did? He really lays down the challenge. Wonderful to have the individual interviews with them. You're so organized.
