Wednesday, September 15

Sunday morning, Mrs. Kay asked the students to find out why Joseph and Mary took Jesus to Egypt as a small child. We discussed Jesus going to Egypt and Jesus teaching as a boy in the Temple. I loved seeing the students really understand how scared Joseph and Mary must have felt to have lost their son. They all identified with either the feeling of losing something or being lost! They also all agreed that sometimes it is hard to obey our parents! We reviewed cards 1-15, and then we were out of time.

Thanks to Emma for bringing in your homework! I'm so proud of you for taking the time to search the scriptures and to memorize II Timothy 3:16, 17! I loved reading your "Survey of YOU" and learning more about the things you like and the things you dislike.
