Well, we have just completed our first week of a new school year! We are using Sonlight Core 3 this year. (I have used a different curriculum every year lol) I am doing a 4 day sched.
Day 2 8-12-09 Anthony made the comment that it was really neat the way the Indians lived. He thought it was really cool that they used animal skins for so many things. He was reading the book, "North American Indians" pages 12-19. Day 3 8-13-09 We were reading in our One Year Bible for Kids. The story was about Noah and the Ark (flood). Elizabeth, (or maybe it was Anthony), made a comment to the effect of , "when God destroyed all the living things on earth with the flood, the fish weren't destroyed." I had never considered that before. We know that the flood waters killed all land living, air breathing creatures. But it makes sense that it would not hurt the fish. Does that make sense? It really makes you think doesn't it? Day 4 8-14-09 Elizabeth asked why if Noah was a God fearing man, (Christian, even though the term "Christian" didn't come into play until the time of Christ), and his family were also God fearing, how did "man" get to be so evil? I told her that eventually, through the generations of Noah, "man's" free will came into play and people started making decisions for themselves and not seeking the will of God in their lives. In one of the books we were reading, the term "lifeblood" was written. (MORE TO ADD TO THIS LATER,) Indians of the NorthWest coast built houses made of planks without using nails. Some of those houses are still standing today. Elizabeth wants to see these houses to see how they could stand without nails. (Can we say experiment???? lol) Anthony, while reading the last of North American Indians, was really getting into trying to imitate the sign language that he saw printed in the pictures on the pages. I really think I need to follow through on my plan to add sign language to my curriculum. :) |
