Preschool: December 7th

December 7th, 2008

We’ve begun learning all about the Christmas story! Today we learned about how the angel Gabriel first told Mary that she would have a very special baby, who is God’s Son. To celebrate this, we had a baby shower in our classrooms. We hung up a special “It’s a boy!” sign and ate cupcakes with blue sprinkles. We also made a special book to help tell the story.

Our Biblequestion this month is “How do we know God loves us?” Answer: “He gave us Jesus!”

Our memory verse is “God (point up) loved (cross hands over heart) the world (use hands to make a big cirlce) so much that he gave (extend hands out) His only Son (make a cradle with arms.) John 3:16 (hold out hands to form book)

Parents, This week set out your family nativity set. Ask your child to help identify Mary, Joseph, baby Jesus, and the angel (if you have one). Sing Happy Birthday to baby Jesus. During Christmastime, it’s very easy for children to become “ME” focused. Help them keep their focus on Jesus by talking about Him everyday.
