Dear families,

I don’t think there are enough words in the world for us to

use to express to you all how very much we have appreciated
you during these past few weeks. It has truly taken great
communication, partnership, and cooperation during this trying
time. As we continue into week 4, keep reading, keep working,
and we will keep doing all we can to make this manageable and
productive for you and your child. We are praying for you and
we miss you. We are here for questions and assistance via
email as you need us. God bless you all!

In Him,
Your Second Grade Team

Biblical Integration
Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that
city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why,
you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life?
You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do
this or that.”
James 4:13-15

Did you know?

If you are 8 years old, you have been alive for:
96 months, which is the same as
2,922 days, which is the same as
70,128 hours, which is the same as
4,207,680 minutes, which is the same as
252,460,800 seconds.

Even though 252,460,800 seconds sounds like a long time, according

to the verses in James, your life is a mist that appears for a while and
then vanishes.

What objects in your life can you measure?
