We are working through Telling God's Story Book 1 right now in our bible curriculum. This week's lesson was about Jesus' birth. Typically, this is usually taught during the Christmas holidays but we are following the book and this was our next lesson. We are also planning a different study for bible for the Advent season.
We started our lesson by J coloring her sheet while I read from the bible. We discussed it as well from the lesson notes.
One of the activities was to have a scavenger hunt with clues from the lesson. This was an easy prep activity as they had ideas for where to hide each slip. I just had to time it so J wouldn't notice what I was doing.
We looked at The Annunciation painting and discussed how Mary might have been feeling when the angel came to her.
We studied the words of O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. This was interesting as it discussed the meaning behind each verse of the song. Then, we listened to several versions of the song but we could not find one that had all of the verses as printed on our sheet. It was somewhat early for Christmas songs but we managed:)
Lastly, we tried the cute printable star craft from Jesus Without Language (link below). There is no picture because it did not turn out for us. Not sure what we did wrong but it just didn't work out. Oh, well, you can't win them all. Hope you are having a great week.
