This week we will jump ahead about 400 years to The Birth of Moses. Moses will be all grown up by Thursday as we learn about God calling him to lead the Israelites out of Egypt after the miraculous display of His power in the Ten Plagues. These stories remind us of how amazingly God protects and directs His people in the way they should go. In math we will continue working graphing and begin discussing patterning.
