Note to the Teacher
This book has been prepared for a pre-kindergarten child. The book
is perforated so you can tear out each sheet, complete it in class, and
send it home with the child. Each page includes directions for completing the learning activities on that page. Encourage the child to take his
paper home and share it with his parents and other family members.
The parents’ letter is on page 3. Send it to the home on the first Sunday
of the quarter, or deliver it personally before the quarter begins.
In preparation for the quarter, you may want to take all the handwork books apart and cut around all the stickers. Put all the lesson 1
sheets and lesson 1 stickers in a folder; put all lesson 2 sheets and lesson
2 stickers in another folder or envelope; continue for all thirteen lessons.
This saves time during the week, and you have everything together for
Sunday.
If a child is absent, be sure he receives his handwork sheet (and any
stickers or additional pieces) and Planting Faith at Home leaflet the
week following his absence.
This book includes a memory verse chart and memory verse stickers. Post each child’s chart (inside back cover of the book) on the wall or
bulletin board next to his attendance chart. Give each child his verse
sticker the week after you teach the verse in class; e.g., on September 13
give him the star sticker for Ephesians 4:32.
Using the Handwork Sheet
This resource will help you review the Bible lesson and memory verse
with your students. As the children are working on their handwork
sheets, talk about the Bible story or its application. Help each child put
his name on his paper.

Home
elcome to our Pre-Primary Department!
If this is your child’s first quarter in the department, many new experiences await him as he learns Biblical
truths and their application to his life. If he is continuing in
the department, we want this quarter to be as exciting and
stimulating as previous ones.
Special Needs
Please let us know any special things about your child. If
you use a shortened name or nickname, we will do the same.
It is also helpful if you tell us your child’s bathroom routines
and any food sensitivities he or she may have.
Review with Your Child
Look at your child’s handwork each Sunday. Take time
during the week to read the take-home paper, Planting Faith
at Home, with your child. The stories, questions, parent tips,
and activities will increase your child’s comprehension and
application of the Bible lessons. All of them relate to the
Bible truths we are emphasizing.
Memory Verses
You need to help your child with the memory verse each
week. We learn the verse in class on Sunday; you need
to review that verse with him throughout the week.
When he comes to class the following Sunday, he will
get a sticker for saying the previous week’s verse.
Sincerely,

Quarter Overview
Weeks 1–4
Kindness
This unit uses four events from
the life of David to illustrate kindness.
Your child will have the opportunity
to practice kindness each week.
Helpfulness
The Bible stories in this unit are all
from the life of Elisha, a man God used
to help other people. We want your
child to realize ways he can be helpful
and to be helpful at home and church.
Weeks 9–13
Prayer
Learning how Bible-time people
prayed will help your child know how
important prayer is. Your child will be
encouraged to talk to God in prayer
and to praise Him.
