BOOKS
A few of the books we used this week, used some we had already used last week.
BIBLE
LIGHT OF THE WORLD
Put our memory verse on the board so we can review it every day.
Memory verse: ..."I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."
~John 8:12
Added the "I am the light" to our poster board
Prepping our "Jesus is the light" candle.
Our finished project, Kanani didn't want to write so she asked me to please do it for her.
Remembering the memory verse and writing down the verse for handwriting practice.
As we sat down for dinner we turned off the light and lit the candle and Kanani quickly starting thanking God for being our light. She then said a wonderful prayer and told all of us about how God was the light in our lives.
~Exodus 13:21-22
~Nehemiah 9:7-12
