News from Kindergarten and First Grade
Although the weather has often been cold and we couldn’t get outside, K-1 has continued to work hard. The 14th of February was a big day in our room. We not only celebrated Valentine’s Day, but we also celebrated our 100th day of school. We exchanged valentines and made necklaces with 100 beads (fruit loops and cheerios).
First graders have just finished several projects. They wrote a report on Abraham Lincoln and made murals of the rain forest. Kindergarten especially enjoyed reading the book All to Build a Snowman. We also enjoyed “catching” snowflakes on black paper so we could better observe them.
In the days leading up to Valentine’s Day, we discussed how God, in His great love, forgives us all our sins through Jesus’ death and resurrection. Because we are sinners, our will is often not like God’s will. We cannot fully obey God’s will, no matter how hard we try. God knows this. But His will is also that people will be saved. God sent His son, Jesus, to live, die, and arise for us. We pray that as His forgiven people, God will lead and enable us to live according to His will. We pray that this will also be done in your life.
Thank you for all your love and support. We especially thank you for your prayers and the time that many of you donate to help us at Good Shepherd. Blessings to you all!!
