Preschool: God Made Fish and Birds

November 8, 2009

We continue to learn about creation and discovered that on day 5, God made fish and birds. Who makes good things? God makes good things.

We had so much fun learning about the creation of these 2 animals. We played a fun game catching tiny toy fish in a pool of water (so some of our kiddos may have come home a little wet) and we made bird pictures with real feathers. We also had goldfish crackers that we scooped out of a goldfish bowl. During talk time, we had a really fun question. Would you rather be a bird or a fish? It was so fun to hear our kids give their answer. Be sure to ask your kiddo what their answer would be!

Parents: Keep reading your creation books at home. Itwill help reinforce what we are teaching at church, and give your child an opportunity to really know the creation story. This week was especially fun because kids love animals. Play a game of pretend at home called shark attack. Spread a blanket out on the floor. Tell your child it is a boat and the rest of the floor is water. Whenever they are on the boat, they are safe. But when they get into the water, the shark might bite them. You get to be the shark. “Swim” far away from the boat so that your child will bravely get in the water. Then chase after them until they are safely on the boat. Taking time to play with your child will give them lots of fun memories at home.

Be sure to practice your memory verse too. “God saw all that He had made and it was very good.” Gen. 1:31

Preschool: The Good Samaritan

January 11th, 2009

Question: Who loves me? Bottom Line: Jesus Loves Me!

Today we heard a story that Jesus told us in the Bible about the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). There was a man who was hurt on the side of the road and 2 people chose NOT to be good friends, but one chose to be a good friend. To help us remember our story, we played with band aids and doctor kids, we made a crown of love, and we played a hopping game going down a band-aid path.

During our Talk Time we named a friend that we could help this week! Jesus said, “Love (cross arms over heart) each other (open arms and extend outward) as I (point up for Jesus) have loved you (hug self).” John 15:12 (open hands like a Bible.)

Parents, this week put together or upate your first aid kit at home. Let your child help you think of things it might need. If possible, take them to the store to pick out new band-aids for it. Show your child where the first aid kit is kept and remind them that it can be used when someone at home gets hurt. Jesus wants us to help others when they need it.
