Preschool Corner - Content



Dear Rachel,

This week we learned about what it means to be content.  Being content with what God has given us gives us a thankful heart, and it makes us less prone to complain and compare.  The opposites of contentment are envy, jealousy, complaining, and coveting.

Be content with what you have, because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." (Hebrews 13:5b)

We practiced writing the letter Gg, learned our new site word "like", and continued encouraging the budding artist in you.  You could color all day if I let you.
Abby is developing a love for art supplies.  Dumping the bucket of colored pencils onto the floor 5,000 times and scribbling on the walls in purple marker were among her artistic feats this week.  
Art makes Mommy tired.
I love you both,
Mommy

What a cute blog! Love your pictures and your ideas. I was wondering where you got your letter practice writing sheets? Did you make them? Also, I am trying to figure out what site words to start with for my son. Do you have a list that you work from?
Thanks!

About This Blog

Think of a shoebox full of letters brimming to the top with a lifetime of memories. How priceless and sentimental! Our blog was created with that idea in mind. We want to etch the ever changing moments of our lives into a place where they'll never fade. We want to leave a legacy of faith, and the events that shaped them, for our children and perhaps our childrens' children. The number "1" in Priority 1 Mail has meaning and significance. It refers to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We pray that the letters we write will reflect Him, our #1 priority.
