This morning we acted out the story of the Lost Son.  Read the story in Luke 11 and talk with your child how Jesus loves and forgives us.   

Thank you Mr. Anserson for being the library helper today! 

As we learn more about community helpers, we were excited to have a visit from the dentist today too! 

We then went to the kindergarten room to hear the research papers that the kindergarteners have been working on.  I encourage you to consider Our Shepherd for your child's kindergarten education.  Speaking as both a parent with a child in kindergarten, and an educator, we have a fantastic kindergarten program.  Mrs. Cronauer also updates a website daily with pictures and videos. This is rare in a kindergarten program. If you have questions about your child's kindergarten education, I am happy to help. 

We took a quick sneak peek into the kindergarten room too!

Second free choice time

Every day in the morning message we write the word friend.  We learned a fun song that helps us spell this word!  :) One of the friends spelled it independently.
