Our Bible lessons this week are Six Great Days and The First Sin. The first will review the Creation account while focusing on the first man and woman, Adam and Evel. The second story reminds us of the devastating effects of sinful choices and also the amazing, forgiving love our God has for us. How wonderful to know that we and our children have Gods grace and forgiveness when we make bad choices! In math we will continue through the year to work with the calendar and many concepts related to it. Speaking of the calendar, we will celebrate our first class birthday this week. Marcus will be 5 on Thursday.
