Happy Hearts

Our new bulletin board is full of success!
The students are proud of their school work and are very encouraging to each other as they work!  It is wonderful to announce that every second grader had their name or an A paper stapled to the board for the first week.  We are all on "first base"!  More papers and names are posted every day.  You can ask your student about the Baseball Board!

We earned a video moment today with everyone reaching first base.  We watched the Veggie Tales movie of "Madame Blueberry" who is searching for happiness.  She shops for all of the most wonderful things she thinks she wants.  It is awesome when she finally realizes that none of the things she buys are making her truely happy.  She asks the shop workers where she can buy a happy heart. Then she shares that GOD GIVES US HAPPY HEARTS! 
A Thankful Heart is a Happy Heart. We're glad for what we have and that's an easy place to start!

The show has Madame Blueberry shopping at Stuff Mart, but maybe we should remember the moral of the story as we all shop at the new Merrill WalMart.  There will always be stuff that we want, but we don't really need it.  God gives us all we need.  He provides us with jobs, food, clothing, and shelter.  The number one, most important need we all have is LOVE... HIS LOVE and you can't buy that at WalMart, Stuff Mart, or anywhere.  A happy thankful heart is a blessing from God.  

We are going to try to spread our happy hearts around our school on Thursday.  We are hoping to make Mrs. Germain, Mrs. Samuelson, and Miss Spring smile as we share our happy hearts with them.
