April 24th
Day 1 Celebrating Week of the Young Child
Silly Sock Day

This week's Bible Story comes from John 21.

Fish For Breakfast

(from The Beginner's Bible)

Late on day, Peter, James and John, and some of Jesus' other friends were together by the Sea of Galilee.

"I'm going fishing," said Peter.

"We will go with you," said the others.

They sailed out in their boat. They threw their net into the water.

And they waited and waited and waited. All night they fished, but they did not catch anything.

Early in the morning, they saw someone standing on the shore. He called, "Have you caught any fish?"

"No," they replied.

"Throw your net on the other side of the boat," the man called.

So they threw the net on the other side.

All at once, fish filled the net. John looked at Peter.

"It's Jesus!" he said.

Peter was so excited, he jumped into the water. He swam to the shore. It WAS Jesus! He made a little campfire. He cooked fish and bread on it.

"Come and have some breakfast," Jesus called.

They did not have to ask who he was. They knew he was their best friend Jesus. He was alive!!

 For Music Monday we had some special guests share with musical talents with us in the commons.

 Two 4th grade students shared the music they could make with their recorders.
Then Mrs. Cornejo (5th grade teacher) came in and showed us her guitar and played a couple of songs for us.

Mrs. Cornejo's 5th grade class came in to help lead the singing

Beautiful day to be on the playground
