In order to help the kids retain the lessons that we learn, I would like to institute a “homework” program. While this is entirely optional, I hope parents will encourage their child to go through the assignments and answer the few simple questions. I would even suggest that the kids do this on Sunday when the lesson is still fresh in their mind, and so that they can complete it and keep it with their scriptures to return it the following Sunday.
As an incentive for completing the assignments, every week I will ask the students to show me their completed assignments and those that have their assignment with them will get to put a token into our class jar. Once the jar is filled, we will have a class party!
There are 3 ways that each child can get tokens in the class jar (meaning they could put up to 3 tokens in the jar each week):
1. Complete the homework assignment (as discussed above).
2. Share a portion of our lesson at a FHE or any time during the week with your family (there will be directions for this on each homework assignement, along with a place for a parent to sign their name when it is completed).
3. Bring their scriptures to church - specifically the Old Testament this year.
I hope that this will help our class to grow together and also learn a lot this year!
