What do you do when you are your child's primary teacher and the child expects you to give him/her all the attention or always call on him/her?
This problem must be addressed before you enter the classroom. Several ideas occur to me. First is a rotating answer chart where students are given the chance to answer in order. Your child could be the “first” answer monitor of the rotating chart and call on appropriate student, thus giving him a chance to participate fully without being in the spotlight. Then he could choose who would be the second monitor.
Second, you could ask your child beforehand to be your “assistant” with various assignments and titles such as help with setting up chairs (valet), making sure there is chalk and an eraser (librarian--his assignment when you pick up pictures at the library), holding the door open for the other students (door monitor), keeping track of who has had a chance to give opening and closing prayers (secretary—maybe on a written chart), and whose birthdays happen each month (birthday coordinator).
This can keep him happy and involved and will make your denial of him getting to answer each question and get all the attention with a simple, “Remember, Jon. You are not my answer man today, you are my ‘door monitor’ (or whatever assignment you need done right away).
Take care now, Sister M

This weeks activities...
Sisters,
Here are a list of this weeks activities:
Scripture Class- Lesson 9 www.sistersattthewell.org. Tuesday 9:30 am, Wednesday 7:30 pm Eva Garlick's house.
FHE packets- Tuesday, March 23rd 11:00 Angie Hansen's house. Bring your kids and come visit, and get a great FHE packet that goes along with the ward theme.
Daughters of God Fireside- Thursday 7:00 at the church, Sunday dress. This is for a girls and women over 8 years old.
Humanitarian Project- This week we are focusing on scissors, colored pencils, rulers. We still need a lot of each. As a reminder from the primary:
The Primary Children have been asked to participate in our Stake's humanitarian project by earning money to buy items for the school kits. Senior primary children are encouraged to bring 1-2 children's scissors and 1-2 packs of colored pencils (12/set, 7" pencils). Junior primary children are asked to bring pencil sharpeners, 1x2 inch erasers, and rulers. These items should be turned in by March 28 in the totes that are located just outside of the chapel doors.
Choir- Ladies, our ward choir really needs sopranos. If you can sing, please join us. Allison Owen, Julia Lindsay, and Corinne Selk would really appreciate the help! We practice the 2nd and 4th Sundays from 4:15-5:00 in the RS room. We usually sing the 3rd Sunday and practice before church at 12:15. Here is something to think about, "It would seem that our Creator approves of and would encourage us to develop our creative gifts and talents. In section 46 of the Doctrine and Covenants, we are told to “seek … earnestly the best gifts, always remembering for what they are given; … Too often, however, those who possess great talents are selfish and do not use their gifts for the benefit of others. And more importantly, they do not acknowledge that these gifts are God-given." Robert D. Hales

Thought for the Day...
The One Flaw In Women
Author Unknown
Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.
They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.
They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.
They go without so their family can have
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.
They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.
They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.
The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.
They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their family and friends.
Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
However, if there is one flaw in women, it is this;
they forget their worth and how remarkable they truly are!
