Leadership Traits - JJDIDTIEBUCKLE

Got a little sidetracked on updating the blog weekly with the Leadership Traits thing.... Here is the final list with scriptures and definitions that we used in class. Overall the PreTeens did great with the lessons. I was worried that there were too many words and that the words themselves were too much. It turns out that it caught on with half of them. The other half couldn't really stay interested but still tried hard in class. Will keep you posted on the next class plans.
