Currently working on a lesson out line for lesson four the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I have been working on it this morning and feel really good about it so far. So I should have that posted either tonight or tomorrow. I am working on trying to do something with the story of the Mediator (a parable from Elder Boyd K. Packer on the Atonement). I am showing them the video and I feel impressed to do something with it so they can remember the message. Its a great video and story. If you haven't listened to it you can find it under the videos topic on my sidebar.
Lesson 5 is on mortality. I am getting the Plan of Salvation handouts ready to go. I will be passing those out when I teach lesson 5 in two weeks. That way they have something to refer back to since we will be using the Plan of Salvation for many of the lessons that are coming up it also saves me time in having to draw or put up a diagram big enough each time.
Whew...that seems like a lot to do especially when added ontop of homework. Be on the look out for those!
As promised, here is the outline for lesson 3 on the Fall of Adam and Eve. You may find it to be a bit shorter than normal because this was my first week teaching and I had to be found a classroom and then we had to round up all the 12/13 year olds to attend the class as previously all the classes were joined or divided into two. This took a bit of time. Plus I took a few minutes to setup the rules of my class room, which was based mostly on the principle of resepct and no cell phones. Needless to say the kids took the rules well and our lesson was great all things considering.
Anyway, HERE is the outline that I used for my lesson. Like most lessons I adapted it to the needs of my class and to what the spirit was directing me to teach. Download is a word doc.
I know I have been kind of on the absent side as been busy with school and getting lessons planned out. I plan on getting my lesson outlines posted on the blog as soon as I get them to a place I like, in fact I might do that tonight with at least lesson 3. Working on lesson 4 at the moment. We have ward conference on Sunday so I won't be teaching so look for that in the coming week. I have had some good ideas come to mind so as soon as I get them out onto paper, I will post them here.
I thought I would share this with you as it was a suggestion for lesson 4 on the Atonement of Jesus Christ. I don't own the video and I wasn't exactly thrilled to go by it and I don't know about you, but our library kinda gets a little crazy right after sacrament meeting. So I searched on LDS.org and found that I could download the video! I was like "YAY" so this is why I am sharing. Click HERE to be taken to the church's website to share or to download.

I know this is jumping ahead but I had already created this handout for the YW Man. lesson 2 when I was still in the YWs presidency but I saw that it would make a great handout for this lesson too. I made one small change with this one though, I took off all the girly flowers.
So click HERE to download a pdf file of 4 to a sheet or right click to save as a jpg.
Here is a 4x6 printout of the plan of salvation. My awesome brother helped me (or rather did it for me under my supervision) recreate the one that was from the lesson manual. Right now currently it is in Microsoft publisher form and I am hoping that when I get to a computer that actually has publisher on it (my lap top doesn't unfortunately) I hope to create it into a pdf file or even word doc so that it is much more accessible to everyone.
You can print one off (set up in your print screen) on a 4x6 file card and then laminate it or you can print it off two to a sheet (make sure its in portrait setting before printing and that you click that you want TWO copies-that way you get two on a sheet) and then cut out and laminate it.
The reason I suggest laminating it is so that it last longer. This way they can keep it in their scriptures so that they have easy access to it for future lessons....did you know there is a series of lessons coming up that deals with the plan of salvation?
Hopefully I can get it converted and when I do I will post it asap.

I am working on getting handouts ready to go...the hard part is not making them look sooo girly (hey after working in YWs it kinda becomes a habit). So look for them soon!
Its the start to something new for me. I have just been released from my calling as the 2nd Counselor in our ward's young women's presidency and have now been put into the Sunday School organization as the teacher for the 12/13 year old youth.
So, to help me and hopefully all of you, I am going to start posting some handouts and ideas and musings of this crazy new adventure. So sit down, hold tight and enjoy the ride with me!
