Day 37

We had a beautiful day for our play field trip.  We boarded the bus with great excitement.  We could see snow all over everything on the way to Northville and it was even snowing a little bit on our way into the theatre.  We sat in seats towards the front of the theatre.  We were so happy to have our parents and teachers with us.  The costumes were beautiful and the performances were delightful.  Bell was such a kind and cheerful soul.  She learned to love the Beast because he was beautiful on the inside.  She and her father were so generous to want to save the other one.  Wonderful lessons!

We made it back to school in time to write about our trip.  In the afternoon we read the Christmas story about the shepherds coming to see the newborn baby and acted the story out during free time.  The shepherds had to sleep on the green rug and didn't have a house to stay in.  The kids were surprised about that!  We wondered when Mary and Joseph could take baby Jesus back home..to Nazareth.  And Elizabeth wanted to come and visit Mary there.  Lots of issues come up when you are acting out the Bible.  I can't always answer their questions at the time but hopefully they will ask you, too and we can ask our Father in heaven to help us teach our little ones what they want to know.

Please look for a new memory verse in the kid's folders.  Also,  some of the kids read to me and got new library books.  The rest will have a turn on Monday.  They were pretty excited to get to read to me!!
