If you have never taught primary, I am so sorry. It is so fun! And you learn a lot about people from their kids. (Hahaha are you worried?) Kids have their own quirks, that are funny at home, but add it into the quirks of 6 other 4 year olds, and you get pee your pants hilarious.
Week 1- I made little CTR shields with their names on them that we could tape to the back of the chair. That way they could know they "belong" to our class, and (hopefully) stay in their seat. The second outcome was probably just wishful thinking.
In a way it worked. They loved their little signs. In a way they didn't, the tape didn't stick well to the chair and they insisted on putting it back up. Every time. Even after the tape lost its stickiness. One of the kids insisted that we didn't have the right name because we wrote it in all caps. His "a" had a tail in it and the one I wrote didn't. Another didn't like my handwriting and insisted it was spelled wrong because 2 letters were touching. Ooops!
Wiley loved my husband. And put up with me. :) All during class he would rub and pat my husband on the back while saying "I love this guy".
At the end we got to hand out CTR rings. It was a huge "FAIL" in red using all Caps. If we weren't volunteers we would've been FIRED. We went around the class putting the little adjustable rings on their pointer finger and practiced saying Choose the Right through the whole class time. Of course, being 4 year olds, they had to play with the rings and take them on and off. We were glad we didn't hand them out til the end. Then in all the going home commotion, we didn't realize Claw had put is back on and and was showing it to EVERYONE who walked down the hall, shouting "Choose the Right". The problem...He had put it on his middle finger. We tried to get him to change fingers, but he thought we were trying to take it away. In the end, we let his parents deal with it. Good thing he lost it that week, I don't know what people would think about the crazy mormons if he still had it on.
