LCG and such

ello parents,

We had a fine day today, and missed Allysa, who was out.

We started with copying a spring poem into our cursive books.

Then we did our opening and singing, including round singing and one three-part round which went suprisingly well. Then we sat down for bean bag tossing with multiplication and even some division and some clapping and rhythm games.

That took us to handwork time with Melissa-- our last handwork of the year. The children have done so well with handwork this year, with many varied and abundant creations.

We settled in for a delicious and bountiful snack (thanks Marla and Michaela). I then told our last stories of the year-- two stories of powerful women of the Old Testament-- Deborah, one of the judges of the Israelites who helped the Israelites prevail against a powerful enemy and beautiful Queen Esther who saved her people from destruction.

We then worked on main lesson books-- some drawing from today's story, and others finishing up previous artwork and writing.

We helped a bit in the clean up of the Willow Room, then it was outside into the rain-free afternoon.

Next week is our last class. We will watch the Willow class (5-6 year olds) play of "Briar Rose" at 1:15 next week. I think the play is probably 20-30 minutes. Please join us if you can.

We'll then head back to the classrooms to finish up. The LCG closing ceremony will follow from 3-4PM. Please plan to join us in Fellowship Hall as we close the year, and for the "graduation" of the Red Oaks class-- some of whom have been at LCG for the entire 8 years.

Have a good week,
Lynn
