Primary 3

Today I got to teach Primary, the 5 year olds.  Sister J called me at the Employment center on Friday to ask if I would sub for her.  I was thrilled to be asked.  This is the same class I visited on Easter.  We had all four students show up.  Malinda has a wonderful rapport with the little kids.  The lesson was on the Holy Ghost.  It is a little challenging to get back into the teaching mode for little children. 

Malinda is a quadriplegic and very independent in her motorized wheelchair.  She is also very positive.  I wasn't very in-tune to her needs during Open and Sharing.  Shes like to follow along in the songbook when the children are singing and has her own songbook.  Malinda just needs someone to get it out and open it for her.  She has a device taped to her hand to assist her in turning the pages.  The ward members are very aware and were right there to help.
