Reading Club
Pippa read, "Show and Tell" by Robert Munsch. The girls participated in show and tell and Mikayla got to show her doll, Gabriella.
-Pippa read, "Peace in Mrs. Fox's Classroom" and the kids discussed what "peace" means. After our family lesson on peace, I told the kids I wanted them to find a way to share with me what peace means to them from a biblical perspective, rather than a worldly one.
