April week 2

Monthly Theme - Jesus Christ is My Savior and Redeemer Week 2 - Jesus Christ is the perfect example for me Beautiful Savior - p. 62 I loved the picture I found I Sugardoodle for this song. I have them cut out with magnets, and we will build the "frame" around the picture of Jesus as we learn the song. Later in the month, I plan to give the kids a copy of their own frame to color and pute together - a smaller sample though. I think I will put the questions in Easter Eggs - just to make things fun??? v. 1 questions: What three things are fair in heaven above? Who shines brighter and purer tahn the sun, moon, and stars? What does Jesus bring to all the world? There is a descending scale in this phrase. Listen to discover the five words that we sing when the melody goes down the scale (all the world his love) v. 2 questions What two creations are fair? In what are the meadows and woodlands robed? Who is fairer and purer than the meadows and woodlands? A beautiful meado or woodland can bring a very peaceful feeling to our spirits. Jesus can bring even more peace and happiness to our spirits than can nature. He can make our unhappy spirit sing. Listen to for the other words that mean "unhappy spirit." v. 3 - In this verse, we reverently give Jesus four titles of honor - what are they? Name four feelings of reverence that we give our Savior How long will we give praise and adoration to Jesus? I plan to teach the alto part to the senior primary for verse 2 as well as the optional descant for verse 3. Mother I Love You - SP - verse 2 - ascending scale - draw seven ascending lines challenge the SP to figure out which words go on the lines - I want to help you because happy and singing because JP - order pictures and pitch lead - help, mind, smiles (next week break song up and have one side sing one line the other side another) Third Article of Faith - melody pictures from A Children's Songbook Companion - fill in the words - atonement, mankind, laws, ordinances, gospel

March Week 4

Today was a singing scavenger hunt review. I had quotes from President Monson posted around the room. I took the idea from the Children Sing blog. I looked for "singers" to read the next clue. The riddles were easy, but they still liked them anyway. Here they are: 1 - Here is where you go to play a tune - a tool which is a primary boon (piano) 2 - When the weather is fair, you can open this to let in air (window) 3- If it dark and you feel a fright, here is where you go to turn on the light (light switch) 4 - This helps people hear - whether they sit far or near (podium/microphone) 5 - This has two legs but cannot walk. We write on it but not with chalk (whiteboard) 6 - This object needs no label. You'll find the next clue under the item that rhymes with Mabel (table) 7- If you left yours at home and feel like nerd, here is where you can borrow a copy of the Good Word (scripture stand)
