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 June 9 give him the baby sticker for Galatians 5:13.
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.

Summer Quarter 2013
Planting Faith at
Home
W
e appreciate your bringing your child to Sunday School each week. We know that
families take vacations and have other obligations in the summertime. Thank you
for making Sunday School a priority!
Truth Is Practical
The three units of this summer quarter deal with family, obeying, and helping others. The
truths presented in these lessons—and lived out in the lives of Biblical characters—are practical ones. Your pre-primary child can put into practice showing love to family members, obeying
parents and others whom God has placed over him, and helping others with a willing spirit.
Encourage your child in these areas, and let him know that you notice his progress. You will
find the quarter overview and a list of the stories and verses on the back of this letter.
An Invitation
Some adults think Sunday School is only for children. We want you to know that we have
a class for every person in your family—from the youngest to the oldest! If you are not in the
habit of attending Sunday School with your child, we invite you to stay and attend an adult
class. Your own spiritual life will be enriched as you study with other adults.
Thank you again for the privilege of teaching your child! We will look forward to a great
summer together.
Sincerely,
(teacher)
Quarter Overview
Weeks 1–5
Family
in this unit your child will learn
about some special family members
whose deeds are recorded in
scripture. from these accounts,
your child will learn about bravery,
giving, and love—qualities he can
exhibit in his family right now.
Weeks 6–9
Obedience
obedience is a theme we come
back to time and again. that’s because
learning to obey is not learned in one or
two lessons or even one or two months.
young children need to have good
models of obedience; then they need
opportunities to obey in similar ways. We
will look at three Biblical examples of
obedience and encourage your child to
obey as these Bible characters did.
Weeks 10–13
Helping Others
like obedience, helping is
a common emphasis for young
children. these lessons will introduce
your child to some Bible characters he
may not know. he will learn practical ways
to help others as we see the ways
these Bible people helped others.

I’m a Little Helper
I’m a helper every day.
I try to show God’s love.
I can help in a small way
And please my Lord above.
When Mommy’s sink has dishes high,
And she has lots to do,
I’ll get a towel and shout,“I’ll dry!”
“I don’t mind helping you.”
When baby sister drops her toy
I know just what to do!
“Here you go,” I say with joy,
“I‘ll get your toy for you.”
When Daddy has hard jobs to do
I can get him tools he needs.
I can help do some things, too,
Like sweep the walk and pull the weeds.
These jobs don’t seem like much at all,
But helping others is God’s way.
And even though I am still small,
I’ll help my family every day.
God’s Word says:
“Through love serve one another”
(Galatians 5:13).
