Jacob and Esau

Each afternoon, shortly after brain break we have Religion class. We try to focus on one Bible story a week. We typically read the story Monday and either chat or complete a craft to go along with the story throughout the week. Before the children head to play time their 'exit ticket' is to whisper in my ear one thing they remember from the story. It is always interesting hearing the variety of details that stick out to the students.

Last week we talked about Jacob and Esau, and Jacob's ladder dream.The children remember so much from this story. The hairy arms, an angry brother, sleeping on a rock. To show the students they can write stories with pictures and words we drew our Bible story on the board. Below is their story.

The blessing of a Catholic school right here on our white board!

This week's story is Joseph and his coat of many colors. 

I can't wait to see what we learn from this one.
