Memory Verses - Children will have a chance to say their memory verses this week. There are a variety of things you can do at home to practice verses.Here are a couple ideas I found while searching Pinterest. :)
Memory Verse Craft Idea (www.daniellesplace.com)
- This is such a cute idea using craft sticks - If you have children that enjoy crafts this one could be for them. The example on the website lists out the Books of the Bible (which is also a handy tool).
Printable's for reviewing Memory Verses (www.homeschoolcreations.net)
This is a good tool to introduce to Elementary age children.
Children's Worship (Preschool - 2nd grade)
- This coming Sunday the Elementary class will have a chance to answer catechism questions. Thank you so much for your continued review at home with the children. Each week we review previously taught catechism questions as well as teach a lesson for new catechism questions.
- The preschool class has been instructed on questions 1 - 18. The elementary class has just completed a lesson on questions 73- 75. Each child has an individual catechism journal in order to work at his/her own pace for answering questions.
- I was in the elementary class this week and was so encouraged with how well the children did reviewing questions. We explain the catechism questions with the aim of helping children understand each question and answer rather than just memorizing them to move on to the next number.
Sunday Community Classes:
- The Sprouts class(preschool) is doing a wonderful job working on memorizing Psalm 23 (NKJV). This past week their lesson included picture review cards which they put in order while they said the verse that corresponded to it. The picture review cards will stay at church until the conclusion of learning the verse in May. Check out the following link for a handout on helping to teach young children the Psalm: Psalm 23 Hand Motions
- The Explorers class(Kindergarten - 1st grade) is finishing up the curriculum He Has Spoken By His Son - Part 2 and will begin studying the Ten Commandments on Sunday, Feb. 17th. This past week there lesson was on God Hears Cornelius' Prayers - Acts 10. The aim was to teach that God has no favorites and that He loves everyone.
- The Seekers class (2nd and 3rd grade) had a lesson on Matthew 9:9-13 - Jesus is a friend of the shunned. They are using the book Telling God's Story Year 1: Meeting Jesus by Peter Enns. A parent's guide to teaching the Bible is included with the resources and I am happy to lend out if anyone would like to borrow it: Telling God's Story - Parent's Guide.
- The Adventurers class (4th - 6th grade) has started a new curriculum To Be Like Jesus by Chidlren Desiring God: Short summary of curriculum. Their lesson this week was on Jesus, God's Holy and Righteous Son.
- Application question: "Because Jesus was a perfect law keeper, did He fulfill God's demands for gaining eternal life? Is that important for you and me? Why? Read Romans 5:19. What does this verse mean? Who is the one man who will make many righteous? How can He do that?" (pg 19 - To Be Like Jesus: Children Desiring God Curriculum)
