Bible Story:  Baby Moses

Scripture: Exodus 1-2:10

Character Scripture: Gentleness

Proverbs 15:1 (NIV) - A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Bible Song: O Be Careful

ABC Book: Basket

Gather the Basket worksheet, safety scissors, glue or a glue stick, and a piece of brown construction paper. From the Basket worksheet, cut out the baby and the basket.  Help the child glue the basket on a brown piece of construction paper and then glue the baby to the basket.  On the construction paper, add the titles “B-Basket” and "Baby Moses in the Basket."  Last, add the piece to the Alphabet Bible Craft (ABC) book.

As with all crafts, let the child do as much as they can independently, even if the final result looks different from what you might have made. Keep in mind that, at this age the adult will need to handle all scissor work.

Intentional Play

Give the child a basket to carry a stuffed animal or baby just like Moses was placed in a basket.

Green ABCJesusLovesMe Crayon Pre-Reading Learning

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?

Book of the Week:  Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? 

- Children learn through repetition.  That is why they ask you to read the same book repeatedly.  Move very slowly through the pages taking the child's lead.

- Each week you will be asked to find specific objects in books.  When you begin reading, take the child's hand, point, and say the name of the object.  When the child is ready, allow her to find and point to the object unassisted.  This week, point to all of the bears. 

- Point out all items that are brown.

- Watch the "Teaching a Child to Sit Quietly for Reading and Learning" video if the child is unwilling to sit for an appropriate amount of reading time.

Poem:  London Bridge

London Bridge is falling down
Falling down, falling down
