E. CONCLUSION

Today, we have learned the difference between the walk

and the jog. And we also learned that we can make one
sound in a beat and two sounds in a beat.

F. IFL
Matthew 5:8 says Blessed are the pure in heart, for they
shall see God.
We will keep are hearts pure or take good care of our
hearts so that we have a healthy hearts because if we
don’t have a healthy hearts the beat of our hearts will
become faster and if it will become faster we will die.
Taking care of the heart is to eat healthy foods and having
a healthy relationship with our family, friends and with
Jesus.

G. EVALUATION

hear 2 sounds.
