Unit 11: December 8 - 12

Sorry, I am so late posting.

Bible story: We are working on the Christmas Story for the rest of the month. It is very important that we learn that Christmas is about the birth of Christ and the spirit of giving with our heart.

We have read several different versions of the Christmas story from different books and such.

We learned that the angel spoke to Mary and told her that she was going to have a son. The son of God and that she will call him Jesus. The angel came to visit Joseph and told him to marry Mary, because she was carrying the son of the Holy Spirit.

The mean king Herod, wanted everyone to be recorded so that they could be taxed. Mary and Joseph had to travel by donkey to Bethelehem to be recorded. While in Bethelehem, they could not find a place to stay. Then an inn keeper offered up a stable for them to stay in to get some sleep and keep warm. That night in the "stinky barn" with all of the animals around, Mary gave birth to Jesus Christ. God sent us His son because He loved us so very much. The world was becoming very naughty and God wanted to save them. He wanted them to come live with him for eternity. So, He sent His son, Jesus Christ, to die for our sins.

Oh sins are the bad things that we CHOOSE to do. When we don't obey. When we sin, we should pray and ask God for forgiveness. God forgives us, but we have to ask Him. That doesn't mean that we can be naughty all of the time. We still have to make good CHOICES. God wants us to live for Him.

The End

color: We have covered them all, so we have white hanging up to remind us of Jesus and winter. We will just randomly choose one each week now.

shape: We have also covered all of the shapes except for the rhombus (trapezoid). We will cover that in January and then randomly go over all of them again.

nursery rhyme: We didn't do one this week. We are doing fingerplays and songs with Jesus and His birth. We will get back to that in January as well.

Number: 6
We touched on number 6, but since we have lots of time, we will start over with it again in January.
