Primary Crazyness

The week between Christmas and New Years is always insanely busy with Primary stuff. No matter how hard I try to prepare early, there is just lots to do THAT week. My biggest project was to redue the bulletin boards. I am really happy with how they turned out! (a HUGE thank you to my awesome counsler Kristie for helping me put them up... she is the bulletin board master!)

Oh I wish the pictures were better. Jeremy took them on his phone for me. I love this bulletin board the best. I really love the scripture hero posters they sell at seagull book. I love teaching the kids to look to the scriptures for Hero's to follow!!

This board is mainly just functional. To put all the themes up for the month!

They are bright. They are happy. They are functional. I am just so thankful I got my Cricut just in time to cut all the letters out! I don't know what I would have done without it!!

Last year our primary's challange was to learn the Prophet and Apostles names and faces. They had to learn them well, because we tested them in random order. 33 people completed the challange, which I would consider a success. This is our Apostle wall. We love it. The kids love it. You can also see our scripture chain hanging above it. Each week the kids wrote their name on a link if they read their scriptures that week. We are going to celebrate the chain by putting it around the Bishop's house! Should be fun!

This year our primary's challange will be to learn all 13 articles of faith! This will also help them complete their Faith in God. I am really excited about this challange!

Another thing my awesome new toy (Cricut) did was the letters for these class dismissal signs. Oh man, I am so glad I jumped on the deal to get a cricut for 50 bucks. I am in love.

I know primary stuff probably isn't very exciting to read about, but it is a huge portion of what I do with my life... so I think it deserves a post or two. :)
