Calling

i have been called to teach the ctr 5 class in primary . 

this past sunday, right after sacrament the primary president walks up to me with a folder and asks if i could teach that day.

i was kind of shocked of course but i was excited to meet the kids!!!

i had a class of 7, and that's not a full class.

the majority of them are very well behaved, and they all like to participate which is great!

there are a couple of kids in my class who have special needs.

one boy spent the last 10 minutes making fart noises non-stop.

i've been thinking of how i can get the kids with special needs more involved, and also how to get the kids that are too chatty to behave a little more.

so i got really excited and made a few things!!!

my initial thought was to bribe them with food of course... but we are not allowed to give the kids snacks because there are a lot of children in the primary who have food allergies .

it was the kids idea to have a treasure chest that would be full of prizes that they could earn if they had good behavior .

i made this board and basically they get a sticker for good behavior and once its full they get a prize!

this was for getting the kids with special needs more involved.

all of the names are velcro'd on so their names can move and everyone can take turns.

i am looking forward to starting this new calling

(and not going to relief society... hahha! jk... kinda)

i know it is going to give me valuable experience that i can use in the teaching field when i have my own classroom someday, so im looking forward to learning and becoming a better teacher!
