So Many Projects

I have been working on so many projects. I don't know what has gotten into me. I can't seem to get my house clean, but i have time to work on a project here and there. I will show you my projects as time goes on, but the first one is a fun and wonderful idea our ward is doing for the month of October. It is called Mosiah in a Month. The bishopric asked the ward to read the Book of Mosiah during the month of October. So, as part of the primary here is what we are doing to motivate the kids to read!

* We introduced the challenge during opening exercises and passed out little buttons. The buttons had different pictures of prophets from the Book of Mosiah. All the leadership in the ward wore the buttons that Sunday and the kids got there buttons to.

* Next week, we are passing out mini-M&M packs with a tag attached to it reminding them to read their scriptures.

* We are having the talks in primary during the month of October relate to different stories in the Book of Mosiah (and prayer, since that is the theme for the month of October).

* Each week we are having a Mosiah Moment in Opening Exercises. We have a jar of M&M's and a few kids can come up to the front of class and share what they read in the Book of Mosiah that week. Those that share will get a little handful of M&Ms.

* We were also going to have a man come in during Opening Exercises dressed up like a prophet from the Book of Mosiah and share who he was and his story. (I am not sure if we are still doing that). But it is an option.

Also, I was asked to design a bookmark for the ward (adults and youth) to help them keep track of their progress and remind them to read. Here is what I designed and what was passed out last Sunday to launch the challenge.
