The things other's tell us about our children...

Not only was Kadin blessed with one of the most wonderful primary teachers for his CTR8 class, but now Hunter is as well. She is so wonderful to them and loves them so openly and honestly. I love that she shares with me the experiences she has with my children. Here's one from last week with Hunter...I'm so glad to know that they really do listen to me. What a lucky mom I am! Amy; Just a quick note to let you know how happy I am to have the privilege of teaching Hunter - he is a real joy! Sometimes the children say the neatest things. I was hoping to share some of these comments with you. As a grandmother - I find much joy in the things your children say and was hoping you would like to know what we discussed in Primary class. Today - Hunter asked me during sharing time - Sister Kerr - who is your favorite? He was so sweet and was so sincere in his question. I told him - I can't say - all of you are very special. He said - I'm pretty sure it's me! I smiled at him and gave him a hug - He was so happy. When we were in class - we spoke about the blessing of being baptised and the washing away of our sins. We also covered the sacrament as renewing our promise to follow Jesus Christ to the end. I told them we make choices everyday and some are not good choices and we have consequences - I asked them if they knew what consequences were and Hunter said - Oh yes! I do know what they are - he told me that he was in the shower and Kadin came in - and a fight broke out - and soon his mom came in - and next thing - he and Kadin were grounded! That's what a consequence is - you make a choice and if it's a bad choice - you have to live with the consequence. Then he said - but wait - I have more to say - we got a break from being grounded and we went to see Monster(I cant remember the name of the movie) All the children said - oh you are so lucky! He was so proud and said - yes, we did - we even saw it at the movie theather - not at home! He is a joy and very smart young man. He never hurts anyone or says anything rude. He finds the scriptures first and loves to read them outloud in class. Once I had a cutout for them to put together and unfortunately told them to cut it out incorrectly. He did not follow the directions as everyone else did. His was the only cutout that worked. I said - oh Hunter - you did a great job - I'm sorry I told everyone wrong. He said - that's ok sister kerr - you're still the best teacher ever. He reasured me of this fact several times. He is so sweet and a joy to have in class. Ok - that's all for now. Take care - have a good week. Love; Sister Kerr
