God helps us learn

The theme for Lesson 2 is God helps us learn.
Proverbs 2:6 - God helps us learn.

I went through this, picture by picture with Abigail. Asked her one by one whether is she able to do it?

Picture 1 - tie my shoe

(she can wear her shoes but not tie her shoes, I circle it as she is not able to do it yet)

Picture 2 - brush my teeth

(I put a tick as she's able to brush her own teeth without any help)

Picture 3 - wash my hands

(I put a tick as she's able to wash her own hands without any help, even with soap)

Picture 4 - arrange my books

(I give her a tick, she can arrange her books but not in perfect order, well... still deserve a tick)

Picture 5 - make my bed

(she is still learning to fold her blanket, I circle it... area to improve)

Picture 6 - kick a ball

(Oh yes! she can kick a ball! A big tick for this!)

I prepared a map like this

Then draw different shapes on it.

I asked Abigail to name me what shapes she wanted, as she said, I drew it.

After that, I hold her hand, teaching her how to use the scissors.

She's ok with straight line, still need guidance. Not able to do it on her own yet. Need to have more practices on this. After cutting them out, I stick it on a black paper and then get her to stick the right shapes at the right place. From here, she can learn a few things.

1. What is a map. How did a map look like? Where are we staying? Where are other countries?

2. Shapes (the child may knew it already)

3. Cutting/using scissors

4. Matching shapes and sticking.

It's simple and fun. Abigail likes it! :)

Painting time again.

Jesus listened to the teachers

The continuation of Lesson 1 taken from Luke 2:41-52.

I repeat the story of Luke 2:41-52 with Abigail and as I share the story, I asked question to see how much she can remember. I repeat the story with her through out the week and by the time I cover this activity with her, she can remember a few highlight of the story like this,

When Jesus was 12 years old, his papa and mama brought him to Jerusalem for Passover Festival. After that, Jesus did not follow his papa and mama home. He stayed back in the church but his papa and mama did not know. After travelled one day, they realised that Jesus is not with them and they went back to find him. "Jesus! Jesus! Where are you!" His papa and mama went back to Jerusalem to find Jesus. At the end, they found Jesus was in the church, Jesus is listening to the teachers.

Those underlined were what Abigail can remember. As I share, I paused and she fill in the blank. :) She enjoy this way of sharing story where she can participate.

After the lesson, I get her to paint the verse, Luke 2:46 - Jesus listened to the teachers.

I first get her to trace her name then hold her hand to write the date.

Then I get her to choose a colour and I prepare the it for her.

I hold her hand to colour the letter J

and then she do the rest of all the letters.

Yes. without my help!

I just helped to prepare the colour.

It looks a little messy to me but she's so happy that she did this. After she completed this painting, she told me "mama, I'm very tired" :) I guess she really put all her effort in this painting.
