It is a wonderful quarter for examining the design and creativity of our heavenly Father, and these lessons will also be an opportunity for you to use your own creativity and the resources you may have to bring these lessons alive to your students.  \nFor that reason, these lessons are laid out a bit differently from the first two quarters ofthis material. Instead of a suggested focus activity and project, you will find a list of suggested projects and activities atthe end ofthe lesson from which to choose. While we still encourage you to have the Focus Activity, Story Time, and Project Time in their usual order, you can choose the ones that work best for you.  \nThere is also a special “fact” section in each lesson that contains interesting information about the animal you are studying that particular week. You may use this information anytime during the lesson when it seems natural to do so. For example, if you bring in pictures or models of horses for the Focus Activity on the horse lesson, you may wish to share facts about the horse as your students look at these things, while during another lesson it may be more natural to share the information as the students work on their projects.  \nStory Area  \nYou will probably not have pictures of most of these animals on file or on flannelgraph. We suggest numerous resources to find illustrations, including encyclopedias, Bible dictionaries, the Internet, and picture books. In some cases you may have usable illustrations on hand; pictures of horses and chariots will be helpful with the horse lesson, for example, and the lion lesson could use flannelgraph from the story of Daniel and the Lion’s Den.  \nYou will find the Bible story written out for each lesson. These are meant to be used as a guide; feel free to add details, etc., as you adapt the story to your class.  \nProjects and Activities  \nWe suggest you look ahead at the project and activity list for each lesson so you can choose what you would like to do and gather the materials ahead oftime. Most of the projects and activities call for items  \nreadily available, but in some cases you may choose one that needs special preparation. For example, you will probably need to visit the craft store for foam sheets and stick-on magnets ifyou wish to make the lion refrigerator magnets in Lesson 10.  \nSuggested Songs  \nThe following songs will work well with some of the lessons this quarter:  \nThe Butterfly Song (“If I were a butterfly, I’d thank you, Lord,” etc.)  \nSurely Goodness and Mercy (the chorus)  \nAs the Deer  \nThey That Wait Upon the Lord  \nWe Trust in the Name of the Lord our God  \nLion of Judah  \nWonderfully Made  \nThis is My Father’s World (\\#111 in Trinity Hymnal)  \nFours and Fives Lesson 1  \nYear 1  \nQuarter 3  \nCONSIDER THE ANT  \nProverbs 6:6-11; 30:25  \nLesson Aim  \nTo learn about ants and how hard they work. To honor God by doing our work for His glory.  \nMemory Verse  \nPsalm 23:1- “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.”  \nLesson Background  \n“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men” (Colossians 3:23) . The ant has always been an example of industry to mankind, and the Bible is not the only piece of ancient literature that speaks ofit (remember Aesop’s fable “The Ant and the Grasshopper”?) . As we talk about ants this week, have your students think about their own work habits: Do they come when they are called to do their chores? Do they finish their work? Do they help clean up after play at a friend’s house? Even fours and fives have work they need to do; help them to identify what it is and encourage them to do it “as working for the","cbCaihZSe3ezzGp5","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihZSe3ezzGp5","pdf",336720,59,"English","# Introduction\n## Animals and Spiritual Lessons\n## Teaching Structure and Classroom Use\n## Story Area Resources\n## Projects and Activities Planning\n## Suggested Songs\n# Fours and Fives Lesson 1: Consider the Ant\n## Lesson Aim and Memory Verse\n## Lesson Background and Ant Work Habits\n## Lesson Procedure and Ant Facts","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the Animal Lessons from the Bible unit for Fours and Fives?\",\"answer\":\"The unit helps children examine animal characteristics in God’s world and learn the special spiritual lessons the Bible teaches through each animal.
