Experiment to see what happens as seeds grow.   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. During Bible time, we briefly touched on the different judges, prophets, kings, and nation of Israel being split into two. I love the connection students have made between these people making mistakes and God still loving them. Just as we make mistakes and God still loves us!
