Why is Jesus special?

On December 2, we examined the question "Why is Jesus special?" The answer, of course, is that Jesus is God's Son. Our Bible story came from Luke 1:26-33,38,46 where the angel told Mary that she would have a special baby.


We ate angels made out of cheese, crackers, and chocolate chips for eyes.

We colored angels with gold cupcake wings.

We made snow angels!

We also started learning our new scripture for the month John 3:16 - "God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son.” (GNT) Feel free to practice this at home with motions! We will provide a link to the motions on the sidebar of this page!

The prayer this month is to remember that everything we do to celebrate Jesus birthday is an act of worship unto our Lord. One way that we are worshipping our Lord is by learning the song "Away in a Manger" but with an upbeat style!

We would also like to welcome Simon Bigger as our newest student volunteer!!

Our focus this month is the manger scene and Jesus' birth, and you can do several activities at home to remind your child of this special event:

1. Play a memory game with baby items. Instructions: Place on a tray baby items pacifier, lotion etc. and talk about how God gave us baby Jesus. Cover tray with a towel or napkin and see how many items you can remember that were on the tray.
2. Make handprint angels. Instructions: http://www.kinderart.com/crafts/handprintangels.shtml
3. Make crafts that remind us of baby Jesus. Here is a website that has several craft ideas for making ornaments, pictures, decorations, etc. that involve baby Jesus. http://happyhomefairy.com/2011/12/02/baby-jesus-crafts/
