Beatitudes - Class Series

When I taught this class to 3rd and  4th grade we alternated - lesson one week, the clay dog the next week. 

1. Boston Terriers represent the "poor in spirit" because they know they need guidance.  Biblical example - Zacchaeeus

2. Bassett Hounds represent  mourning because they look so sad and bay so pitifully. Biblical example - the family and friends of Lazarus.

Get the idea?  I am writing a book for this series, so when I am done you can get the whole deal! I will post a link for sure.
