Kindergarten- What are we learning?
Week of Mar. 4 Level 1 Lesson 16 Week of Jan. 21- Week of Dec. 3- We read and discussed the story of Juan Diego, in the year 1531, when he saw La Señora de Guadalupe. She tells him to tell the bishop that they must build the church where she has appeared to him. It was a hard task to convince the bishop, but it is done through miraculous signs. This is a beloved Mexican story written in a children's book. |
