We asked the students to leave their Venture pamphlet in the classroom rather than bringing them home. We didn’t get to section on the fourth commandment, so we will cover that this week.
Mrs. Baran started things off with the front cover exercise. It asked the students “If I could make myself into a someone brand new, I would have…”, and gave them a number of options like, the feet of….; the ears of….; the sense of humor of…; and so on. We discussed their answers.
We next had volunteers read aloud a story of a girl who takes Aikido martial arts classes. We talked bout mistakes and how we improve by learning from our mistakes.
The Gospel story for the upcoming Sunday was the story of Jesus’s transfiguration. We had volunteers read the parts of the narrator, Peter, Jesus, et. We discussed how this event revealed Jesus’s divinity.
As always, we asked each student to name something they learned that evening. All were able to do so and were rewarded with a cookie.
