WOW Week 3 - PCAC G5 Class on 12/18/2016

Hi parents,

Here is the quick update on week #3, 12/18/2016.

This week's theme is "Jesus Was Born", 

as recorded in the account of LUKE 2: 1 to 20 scripture. The background is around 6 B.C. the Roman Emperor, Caesar Augustus (該撒亞古士督), ordered a census be taken of everyone in his empire.

As Joseph and Mary left Nazareth to travel to his familial home in Bethlehem, while there, Mary gave birth to Jesus!

Our main verse is Luke 2:11

"Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord."

"因今天在大衛的城裡、為你們生了救主、就是主基督。"

To encourage students' participation, I divided the class into two teams - Boys and Girls.

Boys' team name: BACON

Girls' team name: FOOD

ICE Breaking

We played a few hymns suitable for the Christmas season; in which we also use it for lesson.

Amazing Grace: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI0vV5mxsxQ 

O Come, O Come Emmanuel , : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdR79P-2ewo 

One of my goals is to train the students the 5 W principles;

Scripture Reading/Study with 5W (What/Who/When/Where/WHY)

This time, we took a Question-and-Answer to encourage the entire class to complete the 5W chart - what took place and who are the main characters in the Luke 2:1-20, and where and when the event was.

The idea is to train each student to practice analytical skills for their own scripture-studying in the future.

When it comes to "WHY" item, it is GOD's salvation plan indeed for all of us.
Next, We play a short video to highlight the Luke 2 scripture content:

Then a quick hands-on exercises by using a bible words puzzle game and Check-the-True-Shepherds Q&A;

Several keywords (Christ, Joseph, Mary, Manger, etc) are hidden in the puzzle (see below) for two teams to race to the final answers;

     Shepherd's   

Thru the exercises, we hope to re-emphasis the point of the Jesus's birth story.

Since this is holiday season, so we enjoy a little sweet treat !! (Skittles)

Final score points for each team (FOOD vs. BACON):

Team FOOD: 7 points
Team BACON: 6 points
OK< boys need to catch up next week.

As far as the next week, we will enjoy a MERRY Christmas party in the class - so make sure your child make plan to attend.

KLUP!
