 2009 Primary Interactive Calendars - by Tina Descovich
These customizable pdf calendars allow you to add your own events and notes and then print out for or email to your ward/stake! They feature the theme and scripture of each month with an illustration by Debra Woods Hamilton that coordinates with all the 2009 Presidency Helps in the Knowledgebase, and with the 2009 Primary Clipart Collection (coming soon to our store).
Great for presidencies or to hand out to the entire Primary each month! |
| NEW 2009 THEME STAMPS!
You will find countless uses for these fun rubber stamps! Make all kinds of custom items/gifts/scrap pages!

| PRIMARY 2 & 4 Lesson Supplements
I have to apologize to everyone - I had it in my head that all the CTR A lessons had supplements completed, and so was surprised to hear from a subscriber asking if the remaining lessons would have supplements added. So I got to work adding new lesson supplements for lessons 38-40 and will continue to add new ones till I’ve completed the year.
I have also added supplements for the Primary 4 Book of Mormon lessons. |
| NOVEMBER MONTHLY THEME POSTER & BOOKMARKS
This beautiful portrait depicts the diversity of Heavenly Father’s children and how we are all beloved. In case you didn’t see my blog about printing poster size - I just have to say I love printing these posters extra large so each page prints out on two sheets that can be cut and glued together. I use a glue stick and it works great. We display our posters in the front of our Primary room and they are big enough for the children to read in the back of the room.
The mini-posters and bookmarks make great handouts for the beginning or end of the month! |
| NOVEMBER SHARING TIMES
I’ve added four+ sharing time ideas to the Primary KB! COME SEE! |
Now Online at lds.org!
I use this outline CONSTANTLY throughout the year. It is so nice that it is online and in html so all the links work. When they refer to things like TTF or Gospel Principles etc - you can click on the link and go right to that resource online, it is a great resource! You can choose from the html version, the pdf version or the music for 2009 with MP3 recordings of the songs - even the new ones - My Eternal Family and The Family Is of God!

THANKS FOR YOUR PATRONAGE!

 2009 Resources are now available in the Primary Knowledgebase to help you prepare for the new year! I have added several already with many more to come. Currently you can find:
Also included is the font used in these resources that you can install on your computer if you want to use the editable Word document versions and keep the look and formatting of the original!
I did the logo you see here and this is part of a whole collection of 2009 Primary Clipart that will soon be available in our store and will also be available as stickers and rub-onz and shrink charms!
2009 PRIMARY SONGS - one of the songs to be taught in 2009 has just been published in the October Friend magazine - “The Family Is of God” and you can listen to the song as an MP3 file at lds.org
There are two months in 2009 when the song is not specifically chosen for you, instead you can select your own favorite song - Song of your choice about Jesus Christ from the CS, Hymns, Friend or Liahona - in April and July.
APRIL THEME - Jesus Christ made it possible for me to live with my Heavenly Father again.
JULY THEME - I will strengthen my family.
The outline only suggests songs through August that will be included in the CSMP. Two of the songs I have written that are now in the Primary Music KB would be PERFECT for the following monthly themes:
OCTOBER THEME - “The Family: A Proclamation to the World” teaches me about families. My song - “The Family, Our Destiny’” was written about the Proclamation!
DECEMBER THEME - My family is blessed when we remember Jesus Christ. My song - “He Came” touches on the weekly gospel principles included in the outline for this month.
CSMP 2008
I have to mention that I am the first counselor in my ward Primary, and was in charge of the CSMP this year. I adapted the script by Linda Whitlock that is in the Primary KB. She had suggested using the song “I Wonder When He Comes Again” in the script, and I substituted “He Came” in it’s place. There was a boy who had just turned 12 who so wanted to participate in the CSMP and sing a solo, and he and a wonderful 10 year old girl sang a duet with him. The CSMP was rough in practice, as is typical, but on Sunday with angels in attendance, the program was so lovely!!!!! Thank you Linda for that wonderful script. I cried the first time I read it and little realized I would be using it in my own ward! All the music was wonderful, including this little duet - just the way I dreamed it would be, but was a bit nervous about till the program.
OCTOBER 2008 RESOURCES
I’ve added new sharing times, lesson supplements, posters, newsletter templates and more for October!

I have added new September material to the Primary KB:
- September Posters & Bookmarks
- September Newsletter Template
- September Primary Scripture Search
- September Sharing Times
- Lesson Supplements for Primary 4 manual
see them at http://latter-dayvillage.com/primary/category.php?id=185
I noticed on the church website that they have the new Nursery Class Manual - “Behold Your Little Ones” online - most of it anyway, as html or pdf, along with a short little training video. You can find it at:
http://www.lds.org/library/display/0,4945,8184-1-4470-1,00.html
I have gone through the lessons and they are wonderful!
We will have our first practice for the CSMP on Sunday. This is way early, not even the fourth quarter, but, on the other hand, we will be done and able to move on to some other things - like a nativity pageant I’d like to do for our ward Christmas party!
I will be starting to create 2009 helps soon!
Enjoying the cooler weather in Saratoga Springs,
Debra Woods Hamilton

 The Plan of Salvation is a fundamental doctrine that answers life’s most basic questions - it is taught at all levels of gospel instruction - by the missionaries, primary teachers, in Sunday School, Seminary and in our homes. I have been wanting to have a felt Plan of Salvation product for a long time because of the durability of felt - for this set, I knew, would be used over and over again by anyone who had it. I have invited several artists to take this on. I designed a set myself that I wasn’t satisfied with. Now, thanks to LDS illustrator, Scott Jarrard, we finally have a beautiful felt product - the Plan of Happiness Felt Storyboard. The set comes with a beautiful galactic star field background upon which 20 colorful cut out figures can be laid out. The set includes figures for both a girl and a boy in three phases of existence -
- Pre-mortal life
- Mortality
- Resurrected
This set includes a digital download so you can print out the story, a girls journal, a boys journal and wallet cards with the plan image on one side and scripture references on the other.
The process used for printing on felt is dye sublimation. The dye is printed on special paper and then laid face down on the felt where it is pressure heated to the point where the dye evaporates and infuses itself into the felt. It is not ink laying on top of felt, it has become a part of the felt, and the colors are brilliant, washable and colorfast and will last generations.
There are two options with the background - it can come unmounted, or for $5 more, it can come pre-mounted on stiff corrugated plastic.
Make this foundational doctrine clear and simple to understand and remember with this beautiful felt set!

New July Sharing Times have been added to the Primary KB. The July Friend is on lds.org in pdf format. This month I included some visuals, scripture word strips, a conference talk and a song chart that are mentioned in the Friend list of ideas, as well as the Friend articles mentioned.
New Primary MANUAL
There is a new Nursery Manual! Behold Your Little Ones. It is listed as a nursery manual, and I do wonder if we will be getting additional new Primary manuals soon. You can see it online at the Church Distribution website.

NEW SONG
I wrote a new song! "What Would Jesus Do?" and with the help of my friend Jennifer Lerud, who did a lovely piano arrangement of it - I will be able to add it to the Primary Music KB next month!

Oh my! June is almost here! I have added the following new articles to the Primary Knowledgebase/Primary Music Knowledgebase:
I was so hoping the Friend for June would be online, but it is not yet available, so I will have to keep a close watch out for it so I can prepare the Friend sharing time article for June.
The Village Download Depot Club has a very cool Plan of Salvation Story Collection that will only be available till the first of June - the perfect time to join the Club!
I Am a Child of God Rub Onz transfers are now available in the store! As well as 36 cool Primary rubber stamps!
It is that time of year when the upcoming year CSMP and Sharing Time Guide starts showing up in wards. If you have yours, let me know - I want a headstart on preparing 2009 Primary resources.

Hello,
Happy May! I hope it is warmer where you are than it is where I am! I bought seeds and starter plants at the nursery a few weeks ago, and I am certainly glad the nursery worker told me not to plant the potted plants in the ground till after May 10 here in Utah! I hope by then it is even safe.
I wanted to let you know about some new material added to the Primary KB.
NOTE - we have made the KB article titles and descriptions viewable to the public (not the actual articles and attachments) and as a result, you may see an error message when you first try to access any of these articles while you are logged in - just press the back button in your browser and select the article again and it will open.

There is also a cute Mother’s Day Purse as an extra in the Club this month - so it is a great time to join The Club |
