We have two two months:

field trips

In our Bible lessons this week we will study Abraham and Sarah learning to be patient waiting for Gods perfect time to keep His promises. We will also learn about Jacobs Lie which reminds us that we all make sinful choices, but what joy we have in Jesus who came to take those sins away! On Tuesday Mr. Washburn will talk with the children in grades Jr. K-2 about bullying in order to equip them to properly identify and deal with that type of behavior. As a preventative measure Mr. Washburn is speaking to the whole school on this matter. We have divided up according to grade level groupings so the topic can be presented in an age-appropriate manner. In math we will focus on matching, sorting and shapes in addition to our continued calendar work.
