This Week In School

Virtue of the week: WORK

Scripture of the week: Moses 1:39-"For behold, this is my work and my glory, to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man."

Article of Faith: #9 We believe all that God has revealed, all that He does now reveal, and we believe that He will yet reveal, many great and important things, pertaining to the Kingdom of God!


Quote #1: "I believe in luck, and I have found that the more that I work, the more I have of it." -Thomas Jefferson 3rd U.S. President

Quote #2: "Thinking is the hardest work anyone can do, which is probably why there are so few thinkers. That which we seek in life requires effort, preparation, study, and perseverance, and the determination to choose the right when a choice is placed before us." Thomas S. Monson-Prophet

"WORK FIRST, PLAY LATER"-Dallin H. Oaks Life's Motto

We learned about the value of good, hard work, and that anything worth having, or doing is worth working hard for and doing our best! We also learned that even Heavenly Father works, and His work is to help us return to him. The children really enjoyed reviewing the Conference talks, specifically the Apostles and First Presidencies talks. I was really surprised at how much they remembered and also at how many "liked" the story about the cow that died. That seemed to have a HUGE impact on many of them:) We then set some goals that we can "work" on for the next 6 months. The children will be reminded to look at these goals that they wrote in their journals on a regular basis and evaluate how they are doing! We learned a new song about all of the First Presidency and the
12 Apostles. Ask your kids to sing it to you. Here's how it begins-
"
Thomas S. Monson was the Prophet you know....Henry B. Eyring is the next below, Dieter F. Uchtdorf is third you see, and that makes up the first presidency!"
