We had a wonderful "Fictional Character Day" together!  Thanks for dressing your little one up!  They enjoyed sharing their books and costumes!

This week in Jesus Time, we will learn a Bible story similar to Joshua and the walls of Jericho from last week.  Gideon was called by God to lead the Israelites into battle to defeat the Midianites.  He didn't want to because he was "just a farmer not a soldier."  But God equipped him and he followed God's leading!  Your child can tell you the rest of that story.  We will also learn about God's goodness to Ruth and learn about Hannah and her son, Samuel.  

We met "Ettabetta" today.  She is our second-to-last SuperKid.  Can you believe that?!  Where is this year going?  The children are bringing home a story book to read tonight.  Please return it tomorrow and we will keep it with other stories so they can build confidence as they read these stories over and over.  The story for Letterbook E will not come home until next week Monday.

In Math, we are working with money, patterns and number writing.  In Science, we are learning about animal habitats and Evan will be our Scientist of the Week on Wednesday.

We will visit Montclair on Thursday!!  It is such a wonderful blessing to be able to do ministry with elders and little ones!!  

Thank you for sharing your children with me!!

What a blessing it was to celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Reformation  yesterday!  Thank you to all the parents, grandparents, St.Mark staff and others who led the 10 stations that we visited.  Everyone really enjoyed it!  We will finish up our learning about the Reformation this week.....Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Scripture Alone, Christ Alone, To God Alone Be the Glory!

We are working through Letterbook T this week.  The story will come home on Thursday night for you to listen to.  Our snails came late today so we will start learning about them on Friday.  Regan was our Scientist of the Week today and she and her Grandpa Terry did a great job using science to teach us about the importance of including Christ in our lives each and every day! 

We are looking forward to visiting the Grandpa's and Grandma's at Montclair this week!  It is always such a wonderful time, sharing together and learning from each other!

Have a wonderful week in Jesus!
