Week of May 15-19

Monday: H is for Hat Day

We began learning about Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.  We talked about how we need to do things that are pleasing to God and not things that are pleasing to ourselves.

Today's math stumped many of the children.  We had to borrow two different times.  We did a few on the board together to help them understands.  We will continue to work on this concept as it requires many steps.

Tuesday: I is for Ice Cream

We played panic this morning to practice words with the K sound at the end with the different endings.

Thursday: K is for Kickball

We read the story when Peter denied Jesus.  We talked about how we need to confess our sins but also share the love of Jesus.  Peter is a great example of how we can sometimes be scared when we do something wrong, but when we experience His love, we should share it with others!
