Preparing for Sunday, October 21

Preparing for Sunday October 21st

Announcements:

We will not have music this Sunday as planned.  Judy will be out of town.  I'll keep you informed when she will be leading again!

Just a reminder that if you need a substitute teacher to fill in for your partner, please click on the "substitute list" tab on the blog.  There is a list of people and phone numbers.  If you get a sub I am happy to help them with curriculum, etc.

Remember:  Monthly Parent Home take out sheets will be displayed outside your room.

This week's lesson tips:Oct. 21st, lesson 3 of 4

  Click here and watch this month's 3 min overview for October.

October  Monthly Theme:  God loves me and helps me do BIG things.  These are all stories of how God helped David do Big things. 

Bible Story Focus this week: With God's help David fights Goliath and wins the battle.

Scripture:  "We have the Lord our God to help us and to fight our battles for us." 2nd Chronicles 32:8 (see motions in the curriculum.)  Remember to review the scripture with the children.

1. Story:   This week's story is a well-known and favorite  story of the Bible. I have two large  David and Goliath storybooks available.  The book incorporates the two other stories of David we have learned this month as well.  This might be fun to use in lieu of the "Bible Story" part of the curriculum.

2. Activities:Here are the ones I liked:

                  a. Beanbag game-we can use Dixie cups from the nursery and I have many bean bags.  I think kids would like this game!

                   b.  How tall are you? We have butcher block paper available to cut.  It is in the supply room on the back wall. Because we probably don't have enough paper to cut for 30 kids I would suggest cutting a 9 foot piece and then measuring maybe the tallest and shortest child in the group and cutting pieces for each of them.  This would give a good perspective.  Feel free to mount these outside the room in the hallway.  Always fun for parents to see what we are learning about!

                   C. Play-doh stones-I love this activity!  I have two large bags of homemade play-doh that you can have, as well as snack size baggies.  Children can make a set of five smooth stones.  Consider putting a label on the baggie that says"  I can do BIG things with God's help."  I have labels in my office as well if you need some.

3.Prayer time: Don't forget to spend time asking children about how you could pray for them and then lead them in prayer.  

Let me know how I can help you prepare this week. Please text me.  553-9347.
