Thursday News for Week of March 22-24

This week was a very short week! AND we had lot of student absent because of sickness! I hope everyone is rested and feeling better!

This Week: 
Reading and Writing: We read the book Prince Fly Guy which went with our fairy tale writing! The students have started writing their fairy tales and doing a great job! We are also working hard on our Student Led Conference portfolios.


Math: We worked on adding two items up together as well as making change. We also used calculators to practice! This is good practice for Kid City!


Bible: We learned the sad story of how Jesus was put on the cross even though he didn’t do anything wrong! It was scary to learn about how he was beat and bleeding and put on the cross. But we know that the story doesn’t end there! 3 days later, the tomb which he was laid in was rolled away AND he was ALIVE! He then appeared to his disciples and for 40 days continued to teach them. After that, he went into heaven and is there now until he comes back again. Wow! Thank you Jesus for taking our sins and dying for us!



Today we used one piece of origami, folded it a few times, cut it in half and told the story of Easter!


This Sunday is Easter Sunday where we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection! If you’d like to attend a church, here are some around Okinawa.
