We learned that it was illegal to be a Christian in early times. So the followers of Jesus had to create a symbol or a sign already used by the Romans in order to escape persecution. The early Christians used the symbol of fish to identify themselves as Christians in order to continue the ministry of Jesus. Nowadays, the fish which means Jesus is seen everywhere we go. Here is First Grade creating a project and writing a paragraph about it.

The Smartboard is an amazing learning tool. Here are pictures of us creating a Circle Map using it.3/22/2015 Reenactment of the story of Jesus entering the city of Jerusalem."To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven" Ecclesiastes 3:11/4/2015 Welcome back First Grade! I am very excited to see you back in class! I hope that the Christmas Spirit of giving, sharing, and love will live within us all throughout the year!
First Grade learned something amazing about the time when Jesus started his ministry. We discussed the difference between our baptism and the baptism of Jesus. We learned that Jesus was baptized as an adult while most of us were baptized as a baby. We enjoyed talking about how we imagined ourselves if we were baptized as adults and what would we feel about it. It was a very interesting discussion. We were also fascinated upon learning the reasons why many people followed Jesus and were converted to Christianity. Here are our pictures to show you we are working very hard. Mrs. Peters has created and set up some wonderful centers we can work on when we finished our tasks. Here are pictures of us working on those centers.
We are in the season of Advent, a very important season for all of us Christians. John the Baptist life was fueled by one burning passion- to point others to Jesus Christ and to the coming of His kingdom. John is our best example to have that same burning desire to follow Jesus. First Grade has been busy discussing ways to show compassion for others in this season of Advent to prepare our hearts to celebrate the coming birthday of our Savior. Here are pictures of us working very hard in Religion, Science, and Social Studies class with Mrs. Peters. Here is a picture of us marching to the song" When the Saints Go Marching In" before we start our Religion class. Looks so fun! Jesus says, "Look at the birds up in the sky. No one feeds them, but why do they live? Are you not more important than the birds? "We also discussed a story about the time when a man named Zacchaeus showed his determination to see Jesus by climbing the tree because he couldn't see Jesus. Here are pictures of us writing a summary of his wonderful story. |
