We enjoyed M week and our book of the week Owl Moon.  We were grateful to have Whit’s grandparents visit us and have his grandmother read our book of the week! 



It was great to see you at our parent meeting on Tuesday.  I am so thankful for the bonds that are forming in our covenant family and I am also thankful for the wonderful leadership of our room parents, Bill and Meghan Grubbs.  This class is truly a blessing!

This week we will celebrate "n" week with the book Storm in the Night by Mary Stolz and Pat Cummings.    This is a delightful story of a little boy and his grandfather during a thunderstorm.  When the power goes out, they sit on the porch and talk about all kinds of wonderful things.  One night, turn out all the lights, light a few candles, sit together and talk.  We love those kinds of nights!   Or have the kids ask their grandparents about when they were kids!  We'll look at what God says about grandparents - Proverbs 16:31 and 17:6 and Psalm 103:17, and read verses about the voice of God thundering - Job 37:4-5, Psalm 29:3 and John 12:28-30.  We'll learn a little about storms...and turning to the Lord when we're afraid.  


We are going to practice writing our full names this week.  I would like to spend some time talking about each child's name.  Please send me a brief email letting me know the origin of your child's name, whether they were named after a friend or family member, or if theirs is a name you particularly liked the meaning of, etc.  We will talk about how parents love us and carefully choose names for their children and how God loves us and made us His children.
