What's Up This Week?

Bible Rulers grade on Wed., March 9
We will not have a new lesson this week in Bible. Students should study the order of the rulers beginning with Saul and going through Joash. We will only focus on the eleven rulers starting with Saul and rulers of Judah through Joash. You may refer to the Chart of Rulers on P. 34 in their Bible Guide.This grade will also include outstanding facts about these kings that students have already covered in previous lessons.

Tuck Everlasting
Ch. 1-8 grade on Thurs., March 10
This has been a delightful story of the Tuck family who found they have been granted immortality from drinking of the special spring water found in the "wood" on the Foster's property. The Tucks tell Winnie, who accidently saw them at the spring, of their experiences watching life go by and never growing older. As we read further into this exciting story, Winnie must decide whether or not to keep the Tuck's secret and whether or not to join them on their never-ending journey.
