Dear Parents,
Today we learned about Jesus triumphant entry into Jerusalem from
Luke 19: 28 – 44 and Matthew 21: 1 – 11. Help to reinforce the lesson to your child this week by talking to him or her about the lesson and helping him or her learn the memory verse.
Here are a few activity ideas…

Help your child memorize the verse.
Matthew 21:5 “Your king comes to you. He is gentle and riding on a donkey.”
