9/6/09 in Praise Place

We watched a veggie tales movie about the Schoodles. This lesson is about not worrying about what other people think or say about you. The only opinion that matters is God's. He made us all perfect in his eyes and he love us all VERY much! this was our last lesson about "God makes you special." Next week we will start our fall curriculum!

Sunday, September 6, 2009 in the 1 Year olds

We had 2 children in this class this morning and we played and sang. They had more fun laughing and dancing than really listening to me. But they are getting familiar with the music and me coming in to play with them.

Sunday, September 6, 2009 in 2k

This morning in the 2k room the children were taught that God created everything in the world and it was good. They had nature items passed around to show what God had created. They decorated their bags and went home with leaves in them.
They had a great time talking about the nature items and touching them.
We always end singing "Jesus Loves Me"

8/30 in Praise Place

This morning we watched a Veggie Tale movie about the Gourds and how they are not strange but just different! Ms. Kelli dressed up silly for the children and talked to them about how God made them ALL special. We discussed how people are not strange but that God made everyone different. We were blessed to have Mr. Walt, Ms. Stephanie, and Lauren to help with all of our wonderful children!

Sunday 8/30 in the Nursery

Good morning. This Sunday in the 1 year old room and 2k was a great time. We did not have alot of children, but we made it a whole lot of fun.
In the 1 year old room we played with blocks and built towers and talked about colors. We talked about our hands and that God made them. We clapped and danced around. I told them that God loves them and so do we at Christ Church.
In the 2k room we prentended to drive to church. There were squares marked on the floor and kids got frisbees as their driving wheel. We drove to church and talked about who else came to church with them. We talked about how God made their hands to drive, color, clap, and pray with. I asked them who loved them and Suri Biset said "You do"! I told her "Yes, we all do here at Christ Church and so does God."
We are looking forward to another fun Sunday next week.

Sunday 8/23 in Nursery

This morning in the 1 year old Caterpillars we listened to the CD "I love to Sing" and the children laughed and danced. We clapped, marched, and raised our hands to the music. I told them that God loves them and is happy that they use their hands and feet to sing.This morning in the 2k Butterflies we acted like we were climbing steps to church. As the kids walked up the step stool, we sang "Jesus loves Me". We then made a picture with a church, a cross, and cutouts of Mom, Dad, brothers, and sisters to represent who came to church with them.

Sunday 8/23 in the Zone

Today we welcomed in some new 1st graders and reviewed how we do things in the Zone.

Then, because of the new school year we watched "The Gourds Must Be Crazy" from the Veggie Tales DVD God Made You Special https://bigidea.com/products/shows/shows_content.aspx?pid=132. In this story there is discussion people who are different from us, that might seem "weird" because we don't understand. There is an emphasis in this story on looking at people not as weird but as different, but perfect the way they are. God made each of us (fearfully and wonderfully made - Psalm 139) for a purpose...to love Him and to glorify Him.

All of us, especially kids beginning a new school year, have an opportunity to show love and compassion to other people, even if they are different from us. You never know when the new kid at school, that you first thought was weird, will save your spaceship by eating the popcorn asteroid (ask the kids who were in the Zone today).

Parents: Please let me know at any time if you have questions about what we are doing. You are always welcome to join us to check things out for yourself!
