[Teachldsseminary] QUESTION: Small class suggestions?

I read all of the WONDERFUL suggestions on devotionals, class presidents 
and all, BUT.........what do you do when you have 4 students that came 
the first day and TWO VERY dedicated students that come everyday.  
Today, Friday, I had ONE student.  We had class as normal....from start 
to finish.  I can only rely basically on these two girls, so our morning 
consists of the three of us doing opening/closing prayer and 
thought/devotional.  We are in a very small branch...can you tell?  ;-)  
I usually come prepared with a thought just in case the one I assigned 
doesn't show up.  Of course, with only 2 active students, I had to admit 
that our class time doesn't last the entire hour.  I mean....you can't 
make it stretch when only 2 of them are answering the questions.  Our 
classes have been lasting 45 min. and that's almost a stretch.  I teach 
the entire lesson and usually have something for them to do that deals 
with the SM, or the section of D & C we just studied.  Don't get me 
wrong, I'm VERY thankful for these two girls that come constantly.  They 
make my morning. 

So, any suggestions when you don't have enough students to pass out all 
the SM to and tell them to prepare their devotional around it, or the 
same people give a prayer daily?  I'm not complaining at all, I would 
just like to hear some ideas on how some of you deal with 2 or 3 
students.  Am I the only one that teaches a VERY small group?  lol

Thanks for your help,
Debbie
