The most wonderful time of the year! It is, isn't it? We continue the hustle and bustle of all the things we need to get done at home and school, and it seems so crazy! We plan and plan and plan! In our Wandering Wisemen devotions this week we learned about God's timing and planning. He planned hundreds of years in advance to make sure the wise men would see Jesus' star and find him. He has planned years in advance for his coming and the perfect timing of his return. We continue to wait with anticipation for His coming again! Homework: Next week no new Homework.

This week we kept working our way through our Wandering Wisemen devotional. We learned about about the connections and things God put in place 100's of years before Jesus birth. For example- Daniel was put in charge during captivity and he taught the 'wisemen' at that time about the scriptures and the prophecies about Jesus. These men taught the next generations, on and on until Jesus was born. So the wisemen who came knew the prophecies well and were looking for a sign. We talked about how God is always working to make sure His people know about Him and can learn about Him whether it's through people or his creation. We continue to wait his arrival like the Jewish people and the Wisemen who were looking for his star in the sky!   HOMEWORK: Next week we'll stick with the usual: *Purple Reading Slip and Math homework will be due Monday. New pages will come home on Monday(Dec. 11) and be due Monday, December 18. *Library books are due Monday. *Blue half sheet coming h...
