Upcoming Events

We will continue the series of stories that lead to the cross and Easter with the lessons about Jesus on Trial and Jesus Crucified. Praise God for the love Jesus showed by redeeming each of us with the suffering and death that should have been ours! Combined with your efforts at home, we will continue to work on memorizing addresses and phone numbers. Have your child show you how we dial your number on the paper phone that came home last week or on another phone on which he or she can safely practice. We discussed what an emergency is and is not and when we might need to dial 9-1-1. You may want to continue this discussion at home. We will continue to work with numbers, sorting and money this week. Well be introduced to the dime and our new season, spring, which begins on Tuesday! How can it possibly be that time of year already?! Time flies when youre having fun!
