Using the Magnetic Squares in your classroom pt 2

Each classroom has a magnetic roll in one of the drawers.



Warning:  This was my third try at this story.  I tried to do it with a cardboard background but the magnets didn't hold.

Using the Magnetic Squares in Your Classroom. Pt. 1

I really want to help us use what is in the classroom to teach.  Over the next couple of posts I want to focus on the magnetic paint blocks.

Here is a way to use the coloring pages and the magnetic paint.

1.  Here are the coloring pages from Week 1 and Week 2.
You or one of the leaders could color a page OR you could use one of the children's pages.

2.  Put them up on the board out of sequence.

3.  You could have one, two or three kids come up and put them in the correct order.  Depending on the age of the class, you could have the kids tell you the Bible story in the pictures.

Teacher Note: 11/23/13 @ 1:30

1.  There will be badges in your class room.  They are not the picture IDs yet.  Be sure to wear these badges.  During the winter quarter

Quarter 6: Week 1: The King is Born

Last week the lesson was Ruth and the Sovereignty of God.  I am going to share these things with parents on the EKIDZ parent blog. 

Two questions to think about:
Q1.  How do I talk to my class about the sovereignty of God?

A1.  God is the boss.  And He is a good, loving, all-powerful BOSS!

Q2.  How do I transition from Ruth to Christmas?

A2.  The Christmas story begins with a genealogy.  Ruth ends with a genealogy.  Boaz fathered Obed.  Obed fathered Jesse.  Jesse fathered David.  Ruth is in the genealogy of Jesus.
