Dear Parents,
I was so happy last week to see that so many of the kids are enjoying
Little Pear! This book presented a great opportunity to discuss
Little Pear's tendency towards disobedience as a conversation starter about virtue and the perfect son that Jesus was! This week, we will further explore
theme in the book as we get deeper into Little Pear's adventures. We will also review character traits, setting, and story problem and plot. I'm looking forward to this week. :)
Blessings in Christ,
Mrs. Poncy
