I'm not really sure what "it" is. Will I get better at this? Will the kids get better at listening? Teaching is not my thing and kids are not really my thing either. It's not the best combination but I keep trying. So like it says in Finding Nemo - just keep swimming.Toby and Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02698240121296277016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855559839831119870.post-82933467490767284112009-01-11T10:16:00.000-08:002009-01-11T10:16:00.000-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Toby and Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02698240121296277016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855559839831119870.post-63956434075235987682008-01-23T14:39:00.000-08:002008-01-23T14:39:00.000-08:00I am inbetween having kids in nursery (2 in primar...I am inbetween having kids in nursery (2 in primary, one of which is a Sunbeam, and one 9 month old) but I enjoy looking at your blog. It gives me ideas on how to do FHE lessons, plus it just makes me smile to see how hard you are working at your calling. It's great!<BR/><BR/>Found you via Mormon Mommy Wars, btw.

She talks about her last art project every day. She will tell me that she did it all by herself. <BR/><BR/>JessJess and Jaredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08600700761813636504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855559839831119870.post-72191696361759483242008-01-22T05:46:00.000-08:002008-01-22T05:46:00.000-08:00I forgot to say, that just by having organization ...I forgot to say, that just by having organization and a plan and a "good attitude" about being in the nursery, you will be an answer to many parents prayers. They want their kids to enjoy nursery and be happy learning at church. They will be very grateful to you...and the kids will think nursery is a fun place...and there will be "no crying"...jenaprn08https://www.blogger.com/profile/05242861911092610352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855559839831119870.post-55578736959737600512008-01-21T21:55:00.000-08:002008-01-21T21:55:00.000-08:00You are so visual, that will help you with your le...You are so visual, that will help you with your lessons. Have visuals and "manipulatives" (we are talking Montssori terms here) for every concept you want them to understand. Show lots of pictures. Do you have the gospel art kit? We should get that for you...it's worth it to have your own. And I think kids love story books, so use stories to reinforce the concepts to the older kids during free play time...they may be ready for more in-depth teaching.jenaprn08https://www.blogger.com/profile/05242861911092610352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855559839831119870.post-64986386446333068922008-01-21T19:36:00.000-08:002008-01-21T19:36:00.000-08:00oooh man, do I know how you feel!

What's more, we have to adapt lessons to a 18 month old and 30 month old? That's like teaching calculus to fourth graders. <BR/><BR/>I say keep all the materials bring up the lesson next week during snack time or when play time quiets down. Just getting the "plan" idea in their heads is enough. And seriously, repetition is KEY with these little ones. (Notice how they love to sing the same songs over and over?) <BR/><BR/>And can I say that I love you use bubbles as the ultimate placater. Works every time!!Katie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15053882182911888770noreply@blogger.com
