GO THE EXTRA MILE:
CLASSROOM MAP - We have a map hanging outside the Primary room with a list of classes, teachers, and room numbers, and outside of each classroom door we hang a list of the children in that room so that parents (and Primary Leaders) will have an easier time of finding their children the first Sunday of the year.

LESSON MANUAL PREPARATION - As a help to the teachers (and substitutes) we covered the inside front covers of their lesson manuals with clear contact paper. Then we taped the class list (names, birth dates, addresses , phone numbers), seating chart for Sharing Time, map of classrooms with assigned room number, and other info like the age of the children, class name, etc. This also helps if the manual is misplaced, we know exactly who it belongs to.

GIFT FOR PARENTS - "An idea I saw when I was in Belgium. The children make all kinds of different flowers and they put them in a plastic cup (with a little sand.) At the back of the flowers you write down things to accomplish, like prayer, being nice to brothers and sisters, scripture reading, doing dishes, etc. depending on age or what you want to teach. You make a little note for the parents where you write: Dear parents, we need a little help, this little flower pot helps me to become more like my Heavenly Father. Would you please help me to pick a flower in the morning, so I can work on it that day. If I don't succeed please be patient with me and let me try again tomorrow, for I am a child of God learning to become like my Father. The children can decorate the flower pots, you can also make hearts (perhaps for valentine)." ANNEKE, ROTTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS
