Curriculum Update

Hello again!
This has been a very busy year and we would like to share some of the lessons we have been studying so far. December we enjoyed a joyous season celebrating the birth of our Savior and playing with manger playsets in class. It was nice to have new children join our classes that we don't normally get to see. The beginning of the year brought a new theme, Jonah. The children really enjoyed hearing the story of Jonah and the whale and we talked about how we need to listen and obey what God wants us to do and not hide from Him. February was all about love. We talked about God's amazing love for us and how we need to show His love to others. We discussed all the people in our lives that we love- our families, our friends and of course God!! In March we discussed the importance of prayer and how God is always available for us to talk to about anything. We talked about praying and telling God how grateful we are for everything he has done for us, as well as asking for his help with problems. April was an amazing month celebrating the resurrection of Christ with lots of Easter fun! It was once again nice seeing friends in class that we don't always get to play with!
That brings us to May (already?!?!?) and this month we will be doing some crafts with butterflies and how they represent new life and how we have a new life in Christ. We will also be doing some special Mother's Day crafts and letting our Mom's know how much we love them! We are still looking for Dad's to volunteer to teach our 2's class on Mother's Day so we can give Mom's the day off- please let Molly know if you are able to help us out!
We hope you are enjoying this spring season and signs that God brings new life all around us! Hope to see you soon!
