Grade 3

Who We Are

by Miss Esther Bae

Our third graders have been enjoying the time, learning about the importance of four needs a person requires to survive. There are physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs. Students are learning that everyone requires all four needs; however, meeting them are different. The students interviewed people who are around them daily, asking them about how they meet their needs. Through the interview, the students learn that we all meet our four needs. However, they meet them differently. We might meet our physical need for water, but the way we meet them is different, through buying the water or getting them by the river.

In the same way, all of us meet our spiritual needs for God by praying, going to church, temple or even reading the Bible. We are learning that all needs are important in our lives; even though meeting them is different we all need them. It is the same way God provides and answers in His time for us. God nourishes and fills us with His love to rise and shine in His creation.
