Celebrating My God-Self is a Bible-based, six-book series of 72 lessons. The themes are matched to What a Wonderful World! preschool series. Lessons are divided into two age levels: 6-8 and 9-10. Each lesson offers a choice of activities for each age group. If you have a one-room schoolhouse, you can follow the lessons for younger children, then repeat the series by following the lessons for the older children.
