September 22, 2017


In Religion we learned about Jacob and how he lied to get his father's blessing.  We learned that Jacob repented and God forgave him and still loved him and took care of him. 
 God turned his heart around.
Repent means to turn around.  We too have a heart full of sin, yet God loves us, forgives us, and takes care of us.  We can turn our hearts around by repenting our sins.  God is faithful and just and He will forgive our sins and fill our hearts with Jesus.

Last Friday St. Charles and St. Louis Lutheran teachers gathered for a professional day. 
We heard a wonderful keynote speaker Kim Marxhausen.  She spoke on residence and JOY.  Visit her blog as she has many good posts for parents and families.Kim Marxhausen Blog




We share Jesus' love by bringing our offerings.

 
Joseph was down and out.  His brothers wanted to kill him, instead they sold him into slavery.  He was in a foreign land as a slave alone.  Then he was wrongly accused and thrown into jail.  Things were bad.  We know that God used Joseph to save the people from the famine.  Joseph forgave his brothers and reunited his family.  What a wonderful God who works all things for good.

We learned about Paul Klee and his use of color blocks.  We also learned about drawing a self portrait.

We practiced our self portrait many times.
We then drew it on art paper and went over it with sharpie.
We covered it with tissue paper and sprayed it with water.
Watch next week for the final artwork!
