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.

A Look Ahead:
Memory: John 15:16
Religion: Moses

Spelling: Lesson/week 6
Grammar:Question Sentences
Science: Living and non-living
Art:  finish Peter Max

Reading: we continue to work on decoding, comprehension, and fluency :)

Fluency Readers:  Please have your child read the books that get sent home each night.  These books should be easy to read and should be read like you talk.  PLEASE SEND THE BOOKS BACK TO SCHOOL ON MONDAY.  I find keeping them in the red folder helps.These are school property and are used by many classes.  If you lose a book I will now be charging $1 to pay for the cost and time to make a new one.  Thank you

If you would like to order books flyers are in the Friday Folders.

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.

In HIM,

A sneak peek at our week...

Pastor Rouland talked to us about being CALLED.
Noah was called to do something difficult.
Abraham was called to change his plans and look to God.
Isaiah was called to do something scary.
Paul was called to take God's name and message to others.
We are CALLED to take God's name and message to others.
It may be difficult, we may need to change our plans, and it maybe scary.
God calls us, He loves us, He forgives us and He is with us always.

On Facebook there is a post asking are Lutheran schools worth it?  This pictures to me says yes...
