Week 21: May 25
Our theme for May is "Jesus Teaches us to say 'Thanks!'"
Week 21-Thanks, Teachers!
Week 21-Thanks, Teachers!
Being the last week before school is out (yay!) and me being a teacher (yay!) I thought this would be a great week for the kids to make their teachers cards reminding them that God loves them and their students are very thankful to have them. One of the little ones doesn't attend school (yet) and he gave his card to me! Such a sweetheart.

Week 20: May 18
Our theme for May is "Jesus Teaches us to say 'Thanks!'"
Week 20- Thanks, Healer! (Luke 17:11-19)
Is it obvious my brain is fried, being a public school teacher by (week)day and Children's Programs Director by weekend? I totally missed pictures (again!) of this activity, but it was cute!
This week we talked about how there was once a man that was very sad because he had leprosy. We compared leprosy to chicken pox, and the kids were astounded that back in those times instead of going to a hospital for treatment the sick people were sent out to the edge of the villages and not allowed to be around their family anymore.
The kids were each given 2 small circles cut on manilla paper to glue onto a half-sheet of card stock. On one side, they chose very sad eye stickers and created a sad man with leprosy using crayons. We then finished the story, about how Jesus came to the rescue and healed the men, and only one came back and said "Thanks!" to Jesus for healing him. On the back of the card stock, we drew the man again, this time with happy eyes, and no spots! We talked about how sometimes God gives us good things, and we sometimes don't say thank you. The kids learned that God is pleased when we do remember to thank Him for the blessings we receive.

Week 19: May 11
Our theme for May is "Jesus Teaches us to say 'Thanks!'"
Week 19- Thanks, Mom!
Being Mother's Day, we often have an influx of kids. I bought some candy and these cute berry buckets for the kids to make for their moms to say "thanks!" for all they do. I didn't get any pictures, but here's the OT image:
The kids loved making them (easy for busy days!) and I heard a lot of positive feedback from parents, as well! It was a berry cute craft!

Week 18: May 4
Our theme for May is "Jesus Teaches us to say 'Thanks!'"
Week 18- GUEST TEACHER (Prodigal Son says "Thanks, Dad!") (Luke 15:11-32)
This week we had a visitor come downstairs, Mr. Ben, to share with the kids the story of the Prodigal Son. To fit our theme of "Thanks" this month, Mr. Ben talked to the kids about how thankful the Son was that he had a Dad he could come home to, and how thankful we are that we have our Heavenly Father to call on in our time of need.

May Lessons
Our theme for May is "Jesus Teaches us to say 'Thanks!'"
Week 18- GUEST TEACHER (Prodigal Son says "Thanks, Dad!")
Week 19- Thanks, Mom!
Week 20- Thanks, Healer!
Week 21-Thanks, Teachers!
The first week of May was a spare day (a day I leave aside for extra lessons, bad weather, or, in this case, for visitors who want to share) and Mr. Ben came to talk to the kids. The next week is Mother's Day, and the last week is Memorial Day/End of School and I like to thank our teachers who have worked with the kiddos all year.
