1/25-1/29

We had an extremely busy, but very exciting week this week as we celebrated National Lutheran School's Week. From hot chocolate and jugglers, to volleyball and dress up days, we really enjoyed all of the activities that the week had to offer! Amongst all of the week's activities, we managed to get some school work in as well:) Our class read Stone Fox...the last scene had us all in tears, or almost in tears. The book leaves us with many unanswered questions, so I had the kids write a "What happens next?" chapter for the book. They did a very nice job at tying up loose ends and making sure it had a much happier ending then the actual book did.

Juggling Jeff had an incredible message to go along with his impressive juggling and balancing acts. He taught us that nothing in this earth can fix our emptiness- only Jesus!
