Pull your 3 Nephi timeline from last week before you jump into today's scripture story. Review last week then continue the story. It's very interesting to see how quickly things change.
Print the 9 beatitudes posters to string across your board. You can have each child talk about it in more depth or send them home as pondering homework.
