This week I taught the class how to pray a PATH prayer.  In this type of a prayer we spend time in Praise, Apology, Thanksgiving, and asking for Help.  I want to share some of the praises that the kids raised to our God.  "God You are ... awesome, kind, amazing, powerful, great, brave, strong, helpful, loving, best God and friend"  Our memory this week reminds us that our God loves and cares for us so much that He promises to take care of us for eternity.  "Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." John 1:29,  Jesus came so that we would have forgiveness and new life with Him forever.  We have a FUTURE AND HOPE!  For this we PRAISE GOD!

We are making a class book about the plagues.

We like to work in groups.

The plagues are fun to sing about and draw but I wouldn't want to have to experience them.

We had special visitors on Monday.
Grace, Maddie Knoblauch, and Hannah

We had learning about patterns.

I mad Darth Maul out of pattern blocks.

We started working in our guided writing books.
This is a one on one instruction on how to write.
Today we worked on sentences.

Since we just saw Dale Chihuly's work on our field trip we are learning about him.
We will be working on making art like his glass blown sculptures.

We are making our Chihuly Art with plastic and markers.

We melt and mold our art by heating up the plastic.
