Happy New Year!

It's January, and a brand new year, in Critter Street! Happy 2013! This month our bottom line is "I can talk to Jesus." Our goal this month is that our preschoolers would know that in any situation they can talk to Jesus. That they can tell Him when they need help, when they are scared, and when they are thankful. There is always time to talk to Jesus. Below you'll find the monthly parent cues, just click on the image for a closer look!

CHORUS
Hey! (Right arm fist pump up) I can pray (Praying hands in front) everyday, (Both arms out to make T) and I say, “I love You.” (Both hands pointing up)
And, when I pray, (Praying hands in front) then I say (Both arms out to make T) “Thank You, Jesus” (Both hands pointing up)
Hey! (Right arm fist pump up) I can pray (Praying hands in front) everyday, (Both arms out to make T) and I say, “I love You.” (Both hands pointing up)
And, when I pray, (Praying hands in front) then I say (Both arms out to make T) “Thank You, Jesus” (Both hands pointing up)

VERSE 1
I can talk to Jesus (Point thumbs to chest on beat) when I wake up (Stretching arms like just woke up)
I can talk to Jesus (Point thumbs to chest on beat) in my car, or at my school (Hands on steering wheel moving back and forth)
And when I talk to Jesus, (Point thumbs to chest on beat) I know He can help me  (Both hands pointing up)
When I talk to Jesus, (Point thumbs to chest on beat) I’m always thankin’, (Right arm fist pump up) always sayin’ (Left arm fist pump up)

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE 2
I can talk to Jesus (Point thumbs to chest on beat) when I sing and dance and play (Dance around)
I can talk to Jesus (Point thumbs to chest on beat) every minute (Right arm out to make one side of T), every day (Left arm out to make other side of T)
And when I talk to Jesus, (Point thumbs to chest on beat) I know He can help me (Both hands pointing up)
When I talk to Jesus, (Point thumbs to chest on beat) I’m always thankin’, (Right arm fist pump up) always sayin’ (Left arm fist pump up)
