[example of student’s class journal] Today we covered Moroni 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 & 6 (with a little bit from Ether 15).

Youth Fundraiser Ideas
Youth can only hold one a year in very specific circumstances (ask your Bishop or Branch President), but here are some ideas that sound much better and less financially opressive than service auctions or food auctions: Our ward once did a fancy fundraising dinner with an interesting approach: The bishop announced that it would be “dinner out” and the cost…
Scripture Mastery – Five in a Row!
[example of student work] Today for a scripture mastery game, we played FIVE IN A ROW! I had gotten the idea from the scripture mastery ideas booklet I’d been given when first a teacher.

As per the lesson manual, I started off today with an anchor I’d drawn on the board. I asked what an anchor does for a ship. Then we…
Ether 8, 9, 10 & 11 – Scriptural Protection
[example of work – to see up close, click on picture] Today we covered Ether 8 through 11. That is a lot of material, and after coming off yesterday’s Convoluted Pathways activity, I especially did not want to gloss over the convoluted choices of these descendents of Jared and the others (who had come over in the barges). The ability…
