"The Kingdom of God is founded upon equity and justice, and also upon mercy, compassion, and kindness to every living soul."
Last year: We used large cardboard play blocks with the words of the quote on each block. The children built the Kingdom of God using the blocks by starting on the bottom and working their way up to the top which ended with every living soul.

| The mailbox with bags of gems |
We had balances with two sets of five gems for each child. On the gems were written the words: equity, justice, mercy, compassion, and kindness. We talked about how we must show compassion, mercy, and kindness to everyone under all conditions. This will help lead to justice and fairness in the world. When a part of the quote was said, the children found the gem with that word on it and put one gem in each side of the balance.
For the art project, they painted their balances.

Younger Class
Mailbox:
Lesson: There was a board with laminated pictures of different scenarios. Some of the scenarios were a man coughing, a girl's nose running, someone feeling sad, and a little boy with a scraped knee. On the bottom there were pictures of a glass of water, a tissue, a person giving a hug, and a bandaid. The children had to match each object with each scenario to help learn about compassion.
Movement: They used masking tape and played hopscotch
