Hello Primary Families-
If you haven't seen- our scripture chain is reaching great lengths! We appreciate your effort to read the scriptures with your children so they can be part of our growing scripture chain. :)
Also, you may have seen some scoops come home recently. We've been working on Articles of Faith, #1, 2, and 8. The children should know the songs well. Please post their scoops on their charts at home and encourage them to practice the ones they passed off to retain their memory.
If you need a chart or a certain scoop- please see Charity.
Thanks for all you continue to do to strengthen your children spiritually. We have an outstanding group of kids.

Opening Exercise Assignments
Hello Parents and Friends!
Just a quick update.... if your child is on the list for a talk/scripture/prayer, AND THEY ARE OR WILL BE, please note that I will try to call you the week before and the weekend of. If you are not able to complete the assignment, try not to panic. Because this experience is planned for your child, we will not worry about finding a substitute for the talks. We will wing it. Chaos is our specialty. We do want you to do all you can to help your child fulfill their individual assignments for their spiritual growth, but we understand that there are times of sickness and absence. Thanks for working with us!

A New Year- A New Theme
Welcome Parents, Presidency, Teachers, and Bishopric...
"I Know the Scriptures Are True" is our theme for 2011. We will be relying on you, as the parents, to encourage our primary children to read the scriptures and bring them to church weekly. We're excited to see your children show a great love of the stories there. To track the children's progress we are making a paper chain for the weeks each child reads their scriptures. We are also focusing on memorizing the 13 Articles of Faith. We sent home an ice cream cone chart to track their progress as we work with them. When they "pass off" an A of F, we will send home an ice cream scoop for their chart. This summer we are planning an ice cream social to celebrate our progress!
In addition to a new theme, we also have a new schedule.
Primary will start at 10:20 in the Primary room. We will no longer meet in the chapel. There is a break from 11:10-11:20. The individual classes will meet from 11:20 - 12:00. Each classroom will have the roster and teacher posted on the door.
Thank you for all you do to support these teachings in your home.
