Let Us Love One Another!

This is our memory verse for January and February! On Thursday, we will be talking about Zacchaeus, and how much Jesus loved him, even when he made a mistake! (Luke 19:1-10) Now there is a method to my madness here! I have been making an effort to hold each child in class accountable for all of their actions! They have had September to December to learn the routine, and now I am holding them to that! My hope / goal is for them to understand that even if they make a mistake at school, they are still loved and cared for by their families, myself, and by their Lord! As a result, we will be making a 'Love' tree where each child will have a leaf with their name on it, and one leaf which tells about one of their positive attributes! You are invited to stop by and look at the tree any time - you may even see Zacchaeus sitting in the branches!

Auction Bird Houses!

Wow! Your children are truly amazing! A few weeks ago, I was given the assignment of creating something as a class that could be sold at the upcoming fundraiser auction! Given our garden theme, I decided on birdhouses! I have to admit, I was envisioning a mess of gigantic proportion, but I felt that it was important to involve our littlest students in an event that impacts the school so much. As you can see, they created what I consider to be a genuine masterpieces (considering the age and skill level of the artist)! Not only did they paint and decorate each house, they were enthusiastic and eager to make it a good experience! We had a blast!

If you have not purchased tickets for the auction, keep in mind that the last day to buy them is Tuesday, January 29th!
