[Teachldsseminary] QUESTION: Journals

[Gma124@aol.com]

Just wondering if anyone has thought about journals for the kids this  year?
 
My kids absolutely loved the journals I used last year that were spray  
painted gold.  (An idea I got from one of you more experienced  teachers.)  One of 
the ideas I have come up with is to decopage a picture  of Joseph Smith (I 
have 3 different portraits I will use for variety) on  the front of the journals. 
(I bought the Composition Books that are  available now just prior to school 
and on sale and in lots of fun  colors.)  I probably will spray paint the 
inside and the back covers that  have the "Class Schedule and Charts" on them to 
cover them up.   I also have some old parchment paper that runs through my 
printer really  well so I thought of making some kind of a Title Page.  I also 
thought  that I would have a page with my theme for the year "HEARKEN!" (It's the 
very  first word used by the Lord in the D&C and an important word that means 
 to hear and obey) on it with some scripture references from the D&C  that 
will help them understand the importance of "hearkening" to the Lord's own  
words and His Prophets.
 
But I am open to other ideas since I haven't started yet.
 
Hope your summer is restful and relaxing!
