I've been in this calling about 8 months now. I love the Primary. I hated sitting through Relief Society. I plan on being in Primary a very long time. The last president was in for 8 years. That would be fine with me. I will graduate from Primary when my kids do. I think that's a good plan.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575936726304867096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270568.post-62453963266806244212007-01-30T10:18:00.000-10:002007-01-30T10:18:00.000-10:00Joy schools are nice.

I'm struggling with the fact that this is the longest I have been in a ward without a calling - a friend of mine told me it was the mentality up here that moms with nursing babies don't get callings - esp. twns. SIGH. Guess I'll have to wait awhile longer. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270568.post-16684317009131478012007-01-29T10:21:00.000-10:002007-01-29T10:21:00.000-10:00Teaching primary is a great calling - the joy of p...Teaching primary is a great calling - the joy of primary without the big decisions and all of the calling for subs. Have fun!<br /><br />I had no idea Joy School was an actual organized thing that you had to pay to do. For some reason, when I hear people around here talking about doing Joy School, I just assumed they meant the co-op kind txmommy talked about, which I assume is what mom did for us. I like the idea of doing that kind best. Less pressure, more fun and a great way to make friends! But how do you form your own group after rejecting the offer from the other ladies wihtout hurting feelings? Tricky.<br /><br />Let us know what you decide!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05766864638832719372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270568.post-42065914909256079542007-01-29T05:04:00.000-10:002007-01-29T05:04:00.000-10:00I teach the CTR8 class too!!!

I agree about being a fun/good teacher. I always teach gospel principles, but I make it really fun and interesting. That way, the kids are excited to come to Primary, which makes them more likely to learn and feel the Spirit.<br /><br />I have never done Joy school. I taught "D" preschool by myself because I knew we were moving during that year and I didn't want to interrupt it. I think if you can find moms that will swap for free, that could be just as good if not better than Joy School...but there may not be interested people where you live. Good luck! :DSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17551412295647029026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270568.post-87500085798733125452007-01-28T20:51:00.000-10:002007-01-28T20:51:00.000-10:00Hmmm, I've never heard of Joy School before.

I'm with you though, I'd so take a moms group over anything else (I miss the one I was a part of in MI)! I just found Meetup.com. Maybe there is some mom groups in your area?? Can't hurt to look into it. Sorry, I don't think I'm much help here.Deannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00806557096802322028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270568.post-12863077970588550122007-01-28T18:58:00.000-10:002007-01-28T18:58:00.000-10:00Have fun teaching Primary!

A couple of mom's already had the books, and they would pass them around. They were pretty fun, emphasized joy and having fun (sorry it's been a while), and wasn't at all numbers letters or other regular school stuff. It was fun, but I don't think I'd pay to do it. <br />Heatherorchard_girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09567387457704329765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270568.post-69456166251038920232007-01-28T17:37:00.000-10:002007-01-28T17:37:00.000-10:00Thanks for your comment, TX Mommy, that's more wha...Thanks for your comment, TX Mommy, that's more what I'm thinking.

We just sat down together and planned a curiculum for our semester. We have a theme each week and phonics and calendar time, the basics. It's very fun. I don't have any opinion on joy school, i've never done it.<br />Good luck.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09393672416950722780noreply@blogger.com
