Wondering what 6/7 means?
St. Aloysius School, Tulare
| | | |
The 2nd grade class at St. Aloysius School have been hard at work uncovering a positive and spiritual message in the Bible. Their recent study was on the Gospels' chapter 6, verse 7.
The students have been carefully examining this specific verse across the books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John!
Mrs. Griesbach’s second graders are learning that beyond a simple trend of saying the numbers 6/7, there is a deeper and uplifting meaning within scripture!
