All I need to know I learned in Primary...

So as the Sunbeam teachers in our ward I thought I would do a little post just for our little ones...

It has been a trial laced with joy teaching in Primary. We have our weeks when things go amazing and we have our weeks when... well when things aren't so great! Today was one of those Sundays. It was a little crazy and loud. Wait add some more crazy in there and you get our class for today.

We have learned a few things since we have been teaching.
1- Just because your neighbor needs to go potty doesn't mean you automatically need to. (Jared says that half the class must have a bladder infection - because they think they need to go at least once if not twice during class!)
2- Every picture we show is NOT of Jesus - but usually that is a safe answer to use!
3- Benadryl should be given to each child under the age of 7 upon walking into Primary.
4- Usually the "potty dance" is our cue for "I need to go now!" A poor little kid barley made it into the restroom today before going in his pants.... Poor little guy, it was his first week in class. Glad Jared was there to deal with that one!
5- One girl in our class may be having a contest to see how many weeks in a row she can fall out of her chair onto the floor without getting brain damage. I'm really not sure how she goes from sitting in her chair to on the floor in a heap in a blink of an eye!
6- I thought I was smarter than a 3-4 year old child until I was manipulated by one... It hasn't happened since though!
7- Reverence is s-l-o-w-l-y improving for these pint size energy balls... I just need to take a big deep breath and hope I never have 6 three-year-old children of my own all at once someday!
8- When music is being playing in the other room and one of our little girls hears it she will sing along with the song.... Is it alright to make her stop? I'm kinda impressed she can pick up what is going on in the other room when our classroom is in total chaos!
9- The First Article of Faith can be memorized by these little ones, and they will remember it for weeks to come! This totally impressed me.
10- Bet you didn't know all the places that Sponge Bob has gone while being apart of the Sunbeam class. I guess they must have these special episodes on Sunday... He's gone on a mission, been baptized and was a friend of Joseph Smith's to just name a few!
11- If you want something to be spread fast, just tell a child and they will make sure it comes out even if it's not appropriate! (Like one of the 6 year old girls a few weeks ago announced that her family no longer pays tithing because they are saving all their money for Disneyland!)
12- Some day we will miss our little friends that we get to teach. Until then we just hope our patience will last and that they will learn something from us besides... Please sit down, Put your feet on the floor, Remember to raise your hand, Don't touch your neighbor and Shh! We need to all listen!

Looks like we are having a good prep/crash course in parenting already!
