Primary Presentation 2012

We just had our Primary Presentation for Sacrament Meeting yesterday.
The kids have worked so hard all year to learn and love the songs
and it showed, they sang with confidence and with heart.

We had three special musical additions to our program
The first addition was myself, along with the Shumway girls sang
I Have Faith (in the Lord Jesus Christ) as the sunbeams came up to the stand. 

Then the CTR 7 class (the ones who are at the age of baptism this year,
sang the first and second verse of
When I am Baptized with the whole primary coming in on the chorus.

Then we finished the program with the hymn Choose the Right
The primary sang the first verse,
Sister Cox (age 9) played a descant I wrote for her on the organ
for the second verse and the primary came in on the chorus,
then the congregation joined for the third verse.

The kids did such a good job, it was so fun to pass out the
 Olympic Singing Medals I made for them during singing time.

I love teaching primary music, it is the best calling ever.

DIY CTR Medals

In singing time I went with the olympic theme

for reviewing songs for the Primary Program in two weeks. 

I made my own CTR Medals

to give to the kids after the Chapel Practice on the 15th.

This is how I did it.

Supplies: Air Dry Clay, Pint Jar Ring,

Alphabet Stone Stamps, Award Plaque, Gold Spray Paint.

Step 1. Roll out the clay to an 1/8 inch thickness

Step 2.  Punch out disks with the Pint Jar Ring

Step 3.  Use plaque to press leaf impression on outside of ring

Step 4: Stamp CTR in the center if the disk

Step 5:  Insert Split Ring half way into clay

Step 6: Let dry overnight, turn over and dry the backside all day.

(If the split rings are loose, secure with elmers glue and allow to dry for 1 hour.)

Step 7:  Lay all the dry disks on paper (I used an old wrapping paper roll)

Step 8: Spray with gold spray paint (in a well ventilated area)

Let dry for 1 hour, turn disks over and repeat on the back side.

Step 9: When dry, thread ribbon (cut in 1 yard length) through the split ring.

Finished CTR Medals.

I can't wait to give these to the kids,

they have worked so hard and the songs sound great.

I hope it will be a good surprise for them.
