Last days of summer!

September 22, 2023

What a week in second grade! It's been such a joy this week to watch the students dig deeper into some of the Old Testament stories. During Bible time, we briefly touched on Abraham and the promise God made to him, that his descendants will be more than the starts in the sky. We saw how God kept this promise through Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph and then later as he brought the people of Israel out of Egypt. Just as God kept His promise thousands of years ago we know God will keep his promises to us!

Some pictures at the end of taking some time to write outside this week!
