What does it mean to Prepare ourselves spiritually to teach Primary?
![Page 3: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
How many of you prepare yourself this way before you start to prepare your lessons?
![Page 4: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
In D&C 42:14 we learn that The Lord said, “If ye receive not the Spirit ye shall not teach”
![Page 5: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
How do we get the spirit to be with us so that we may teach?
![Page 6: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
President Thomas S. Monson had this to say about prayer and teaching.
![Page 7: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
As a teacher, you should seek to prepare spiritually before you teach.
![Page 8: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
To do this you should:
![Page 9: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Strive to develop charity for those you teach by serving them, praying for them, and looking for the good in them.
![Page 10: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Seek the Holy Ghost. Elder Dallin H. Oaks said, “Teaching by the Spirit requires first that we keep the commandments and be clean before God so his Spirit can dwell in our personal temples”
![Page 11: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Elder David A. Bednar had this to say about inviting the Holy Ghost to be with you as you fulfill your calling.
![Page 12: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Seek to study the gospel more effectively.
We must understand God’s word before we can teach it.
As you read the scriptures and words of the prophets, take time to ponder what you read, seek to apply the principles to your life, and record your thoughts and feelings.
![Page 13: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Once you have prepared yourself spiritually, it’s time to prepare the lesson as best you can for your students.
![Page 14: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Your students are not my students
![Page 15: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Your student’s needs may not be the same as my student’s needs
![Page 16: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
With the help of the Spirit, you can know what your students need to understand the lesson you are preparing.
![Page 17: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Just like if you don’t know the word of God, you can’t teach the word of God.
![Page 18: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
It’s the same with your audience / students.
![Page 19: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The better you can understand your
students, the better they will understand
the message you want them to take home
with them each week.
![Page 20: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Next, go to the manual
![Page 21: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Read the scriptures that the manual references, To help get yourself in tune with the spirit and the lesson.
![Page 22: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
I recommend that you read thru the entire lesson before
deciding how best to proceed.
![Page 23: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
I find it easier to organize my thoughts when I first start by
seeing the whole picture/lesson that I’m about
to work on.
![Page 24: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
I can’t tell you what is the best way for you to plan and
put together a lesson for your class.
![Page 25: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
If you read the manual, you should be able to put
together the lesson for your students.
![Page 26: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
You only need your lesson manual, the pictures in the back of the notebook, and
the scriptures.
![Page 27: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
I can’t improve upon the scriptures or the lesson
manual.
![Page 28: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
However
![Page 29: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
I can help introduce you to some ideas that can help you prepare your lessons better
and in less time.
![Page 30: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
These “shortcuts” are available to everyone,
provided you have and can use a computer.
![Page 31: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
One “Time advantage” is in using the on-line manuals.
![Page 32: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)

For those that don’t know what a hyperlink is, in simple terms, it’s that highlighted
part of the text that you click on and it takes you to another page on the
computer.

68 We still continued the work of translation, when, in the ensuing month (May, 1829), we on a certain day went into the woods to pray and inquire of the Lord respecting abaptism for the b
remission of sins, that we found mentioned in the translation of the plates. While we were thus employed, praying and calling upon the Lord, a messenger from heaven descended in a c
cloud of light, and having laid his dhands upon us, he eordained us, saying:

Sugardoodle.net was started by a Sister that lives in Utah.
![Page 44: Being Prepared and preparing ourselves Spiritually to teach Primary](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022081520/568161e7550346895dd20faf/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
She had an abundance of ideas, so she created the
Sugardoodle.net site so her family and friends could have
access to this information.

Some teachers just use these to review the lesson and help them to prepare to put there
lesson together.

I use the Primary 5 power points in presenting the
lessons to my class.
