Primary


Yesterday was my first day in Primary. On Sarah's suggestion I made clothes to hang on the "laundry line" and each had the name of a song on the back. Those children who were singing well got to come and pick an article of clothing, and then from the dryer sheet box, a way to sing (slow, fast, boys, girls, backwards, underwater). I think it went well. I was surprisingly nervous. I suppose that will go away after awhile.

Are you the new singing time person in Primary? I didn't know that. I loved that calling. It does take some creativity, but you'll do great. I loved your idea. Happy singing!

Our music leader has a ton of music blogs with ideas I could send you if you are interested.

That looks great!! It's funny.., I was always more nervous to teach sharing time than to teach a group of adults. I think it's probably because kids will actually raise their hands and tell you when they are bored...., adults will fake like they aren't and not saya word.

Fun stuff!! I haven't taught in front of other adults, well, I guess I never have!! So Primary is easy for me. Except for all the other adults in the room! That's what makes me nervous, whether they think what I am doing is dumb or whatever.

You are definitely perfect for the job!!!

I was so nervous my first day in Primary that I got sweaty. . .I couldn't figure it out cause it seems like little kids shouldn't cause that kind of reaction--but I got over it quickly, and I'm sure you will too.
