I am so sorry that the curriculum links were broken for Sunday! That was my bad. I have double checked the links for this week, so you should be good to go. Let me know if you have any questions. Here are some announcements for this Sunday:
Special Needs Support
Becky Powers, our coordinator for special needs ministries, has worked with me for the past several months to develop resources for you to use in your classrooms. We're ready to unveil! Please make use of these resources to help children focus, enjoy, communicate and receive the blessings you're giving them.
Call Becky
If there's a child in your class that concerns you or that you'd like some ideas for how to engage, just give Becky a call! She'd love to hear from you at 502-245-9943.
Use a Request for Resources Form
In your rooms this Sunday, you'll see a large envelope that says "Request for Resources". Inside will be simple forms and pre-addressed envelopes. If you would like some fidget busters, noise canceling headphones, allergy-free snacks, manipulatives, or just advice for a particular child, fill out a form, put it in an envelope and drop it in the mail. Becky will respond within two weeks.
We want to be a welcoming, fun, comfortable place for children to connect with you, one another and with Jesus. Thank you for helping us meet that goal!
Advent Curriculum
During Advent we will use a different curriculum for our small groups. This curriculum will be available as a hard copy in your classrooms in early November, and we will also post it here on the blog for you to download if you prefer. The lessons are:
November 30 - The Annunciation
December 7 - Mary & Elizabeth
December 14 - Jesus is Born
December 21 - The Magi
The last Sunday of the semester, December 28, will be spent simply having fellowship time together.
These Advent lessons include a short video component. First thru Fifth graders will begin each week of Advent in Room 005 together where we can view the video and introduce the story for that morning. Each grade level team (1st, 2nd, 3rd, Alive) will be assigned to one of those Sundays to lead this 10 minute opening time.
November 30 - 1st grade team
December 7 - 2nd grade team
December 14 - 3rd grade team
December 21 - Alive team
We will provide a TV for Kindergartners and a DVD of the video for you to play in your classroom. Note: If Kindergarten leaders would prefer to come downstairs to watch the DVD with the big kids, please let Karen Larimore or Sarah know!
You'll receive more detailed instructions about that as the time approaches. Do you have some Advent in your heart already? Hope you soon will!
