As we were wrapping up a Word Wall activity, we were thrilled to see Brother Joe at our door! He spent time helping us complete our word tasks and then we gathered on the mat for a visit.
One little guy noticed a unique book Brother Joe was carrying.
Student: Hey Brother Joe, is that a superhero book?
Br. Joe: Well ... actually ... it's the ultimate superhero book! But this superhero didn't wear a cape. He couldn't shoot webs from his hands. There was no "S" on his belly. The super hero in this book is Jesus, and this is my Action Bible!
Brother Joe proceeded to read to us from his Action Bible, and we heard this weekend's gospel story. This story reminded us to love God with our whole heart and love our neighbour as ourself. Everyone is our neighbour, and Brother Joe challenged us to care for others.
A visit from Brother Joe is never complete without a sing-along! And can you believe it? The students were disappointed when the recess bell rang and they had to end the visit and head outside!
Brother Joe, you're welcome in Grade One anytime! Thank you for your visit. Please come back soon!
