![]() Reverence is how we show respect for the things we consider important. It’s about flag ceremonies, the National Anthem, Mutual opening exercises, home teaching visits, choir and orchestra concerts, etc. ( Here and here) It is important to note that when I talk about reverence, it’s not just about Sacrament Meeting. You can probably tell, because I have written about it a couple of times already.

Only kind and reverent actions may be taken.Ĥ. Only kind and reverent words may be spoken.ģ. This is the teacher unless she chooses someone else.Ģ. Just choose five broad rules that cover anything that matters to you. For this one, I tried to have only a few rules. When I subbed, I put their chart on the back of the junior Primary chart. Senior Primary children are too old for this. He became quite an interesting person by the time the year ended as I added details to suit the story. (I know this because a four-year-old told me it was obvious that his name was Todd.) Not only does Todd remind my classes to behave, but he also was the subject of most of the stories I told in class. In addition, I usually hung up the picture in the packets of the young boy standing with his arms folded. The picture hanging on the wall can be a constant reminder. When children are doing something wrong, you can simply point to the offending body part on the picture without ever saying a word. One advantage to a very simple chart like this is that you can add things as they become necessary due to behavior patterns adopted by your class. The important thing was that the children learned the rules of behavior. One class, for reasons I never figured out, always chanted that mouths don’t sing when it isn’t singing time. One group always said that feet don’t kick neighbors.Ī class that included two hearing impaired children added that hands don’t sign when the teacher is signing. Sometimes a class would come up with an odd answer that would stay in the routine all that year. The children loved to do this simple routine and they learned the answers in only a few weeks. “They walk quietly, and they sit quietly.” “They sit in your lap and they raise when you want to talk and they don’t touch anything on the teacher’s table.” ![]() I pointed to several areas of her body and asked questions which the children answered. The chart had a picture of a girl in a long dress, drawn by my daughter. When I got the children seated, one of them looked around anxiously and asked, “Sister Bittner, where is your rule chart? We need to do the rules.” After so long and several teachers, they still remembered my rule chart. I once substituted in the class I had taught a few years before.
