Last week, we took a break from the movie we have been watching to talk about Moses and the burning bush. What an incredible story! We talked a lot about what it could have been like to witness such a magnificent occurrence. When we talked about what we would do if a burning bush started talking to us, the general consensus was that we would probably get scared and run away.

Moses showed great courage to stand and talk with God. We also agreed we probably couldn't lead everyone to freedom as Moses was tasked to do either. For our craft, we made our own burning bush scenes to remind us of what Moses saw. After we were done with the lesson, we had a few minutes left over, so we finished out the rest of Sunday School with some playtime outside, soaking up some sunshine and running around with our friends.

This week, we will be watching the second half of The Prince of Egypt. There is the Congregational Meeting occurring after church, so Sunday School will be extended to accommodate parents who would like to stay for the meeting but need childcare.

We have a Student of the Week program here at school.  Each student has the opportunity during this week to have a family member come in to the classroom to share something special with the class.  Each week we experience many fun activities with the family, including reading books, making projects, singing and dancing, and much more.  Lyla was our recent Student of the Week and she brought in her Daddy, who is a lobsterman.  He brought in his big trap to show us, which we discovered was very heavy.  He even brought in a real lobster for us to touch and observe!   We learned a lot about lobsters, including that they can be blue and grow to be much larger than any of us had expected.  It was a great hands-on learning activity.  We are thankful for all of the unique experiences that each family brings to our classroom!
