One of the most important things we can help our kindergarten students learn is who they are in Christ. Check out this great letter from one of our teachers as she partners with parents to ensure our students know they are unique children of the King!!
Dear Parents,
It has been an absolute delight to get to know your precious children over the first weeks of school. Part of my deep hope is that your kids will know they belong to God and because of His great love for us, He calls us His children. What a joy to share this truth from God’s word!
This week we are focusing on the word UNIQUE. I can already tell many ways that each of the children in my class are unique, but I would like your help with something. On the paper I am sending with this sheet, could you please write some things that make your child unique?
“My deep hope is that you will know that you are a UNIQUE Child of the King, set apart to serve God and others in work and play.”
I think this is a great discussion to have with your child about the things that set him/her apart. It is affirming for them to know that you notice and value the ways that they are a unique part of your family. Just writing some bullet points under their name is fine (It would be great if you as parents could do the writing). I would like to hang these around our bulletin board in the classroom and read them to the children. It will be cool to discuss the ways God created us to be unique.
Please send them back to school in your child’s folder when you are finished. I appreciate your help with this and value the role I get to play as your child’s teacher this year. Each day they bring me so much joy! We have become like a little family, and they truly love and care for each other and show God’s love to me and one another on a daily basis. I’ve been so blessed by each of them!
In Him,
Cathy
