Second Grade Talking Points

• Jesus is a special person in the Bible who taught people to be kind and help others. He told stories to teach important lessons.
• One of the stories Jesus told is about a Good Samaritan who helped someone in need. Jesus wanted us to know that we should be kind and help others, just like the Good Samaritan did.
• When we read stories about Jesus, we can think about how we can be kind and helpful in our own lives.
