First Grade
This week your child will hear stories from the books of Numbers and Deuteronomy.  Here are a few discussion questions.

Talk about it:

• Why is the fourth book of the Bible called Numbers?  (The book begins with the Israelites counting or numbering everybody as they head to the Promised Land.)
• How long did the Israelites wander around the desert?  (40 years.)
• If you were with the Israelites in the desert, what would you have done?  Wandered around or headed straight for the Promised Land?
• What is a ritual?  (doing something over and over that has a deep meaning and reminds us of something important.)
• Does our family have rituals?  What are they?
