Teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ to my kids!

I just made an outline of a year's worth of gospel teaching for my kids.  For example, we will be learning a song, an Article of Faith, and a scripture each month, and we'll review them every morning.  There is a theme/doctrine of the month, as well as supporting principles that I will base Family Home Evening lessons around each week.  Instead of reinventing the wheel, I got my outline from Primary's Sharing Time from 2010.  Here is the first page of the outline I made (I still have to fill in the details):


AUGUST: We Believe in God the Eternal Father and in His Son, Jesus Christ.
Article of Faith
 
Song
 
Scripture
 
WEEK 1: God is the Father of my spirit.
WEEK 3: Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love me.
WEEK 2: Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
WEEK 4:
 

SEPTEMBER: Jesus Christ is My Savior and Redeemer.
Article of Faith
 
Song
 
Scripture
 
WEEK 1: Jesus Christ is my Savior and Redeemer.
WEEK 3: Jesus Christ was resurrected, and I will be too.
WEEK 2: Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, all mankind may be saved.
WEEK 4:

After having written all of these principles out for an entire year, I am overwhelmed by how wonderful the restored gospel of Jesus Christ is!  What profound, clear, doctrine.  How important the Restoration was in restoring these plain and precious truths that give a definite and defined path to happiness in this life and eternal life in the next.  How grateful I am that I can teach them to my children!

Here are the other principles we'll be learning this year:
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and He is a God of Miracles
Jesus Christ can heal the sick.

By the power of the Holy Ghost, we may know the truth of all things.
