I even had some Frankincense and Myrr so that they could smell what they were like! They thought this was cool! • We continued to learn about Sammy Snake • We started learning about pennies.

Mrs. Marshall will be talking with us about how to bring Jesus’ love to people who are really sick and look different. Please also talk with me at home about this too. Mrs. Marshall doesn’t want us to be surprised or scared on Thursday. Next week is our field trip to St. Mark’s!
