Sept. 16, 2012: God Created the World and Everything In It Part 2

     Today we learned more about the awesome gifts that God gave us, in fact we started by drawing gifts that God gave us on slips of paper to put in our gift jar. Our gift jar was used for our closing prayer in which we thanked God for his gifts including: grass, sky, lions, tree, water and flowers.
Jonah's Day 2 Bottle
     Then we made our Day 2 Bottles.

      With some water, food coloring and some baby oil, we can take an aquapod and turn it into what the world would have looked like on the second day of creation.Gently rock the bottle and create some peaceful waves. We even cracked open the We Believe book this week and read the thank you prayer for water.

     The Earth was still not complete, so we talked about how God had given us land. Through Dr. Suess' The Lorax, we learned that we have to take care of the land because God gave it to us as a very special gift.

     Today several of our students attempted "The Sign of the Cross" and everyone either knew it or came very close, so we would like to thank you, the parents, for working on it over the past week. We encourage you to keep practicing it with them at home this week as well. After next week, we will move on to our next prayer, "The Glory Be."

     For homework this week, your child has been assigned pages 42 & 50 in their We Believe book, as well as the Sharing with my Family Chapter 4 handout. As a final note, please remember to send your child to class with their book, as we will be using it in class every week unless otherwise specified. Have a great week and see you Sunday.

Yours in Christ,

     Jason & Laura Madrigal
