Our bible lesson will be Blessed be the King (Palm Sunday). Our memory verse is “Jesus came to save sinners” 1 Timothy 1:15
K-1st: Mrs. Eckstrand
This week our Bible lessons are "Jesus' ascension" and "Gift of the Holy Spirit." We learned that since Jesus' work in earth was finished, he ascended back into heaven. Before he left, he promised to send the Holy Spirit. He gave us a job to share everything about Him with the whole world, and he promised to be with us always. Then after he ascended, he Did bless the apostles with the Holy Spirit, in the form of a flame and wind. We too have the Spirit with us to help our faith grow and give us confidence to share His word. Matthew 28:20 “Surely, I am with you always until the very end of the age”. Isaiah 41:10 “Do not fear, for I am with you” is our memory treasure.
For Math, each class is moving on to the next chapter. Kindergarten onto money and 1st grade is moving onto comparing numbers.
