One of the favorite things we enjoy doing during the Holy Week is to revisit the Passion hymns. We love reading and learning more about these hymns from Passion Hymns for a Kid's Heart by Bobbie Wolgemuth and Joni E. Tada.
This morning, we read the chapter on “Man of Sorrows!” from that book for our devotions. We also sang the hymn. After that, we read a little book, The Story of the Empty Tomb (an Arch Book) and then at the request of my nearly 4 year old son, we dramatized the it. Josh wanted to be the angel and Jesus. My daughter and I took turns being Mary.
Later on my dd continued with her copywork based on the hymn “What Can Wash Away My Sins?” and we spent a good portion of the time refering to our Bible on prophecies that Jesus fulfilled. We referred to 6 prohecies in the OT and how the six were fulfilled in the NT. I asked my dd why it was important to know that the OT was fulfilled in the NT and she said that would help us when we witness to people about God. I thought that was a good answer as I remember the first time I read about how the prophecies in the OT really did come to pass in the NT. I was around 17, and that just blew me away...
I must say Josh really is beginning to enjoy drama. Last night we acted out Balaam and the Donkey. I was Balaam (boy, did I have fun) and their daddy was the donkey. A very good donkey I must say. Josh was the angel and my dd was the audience. And this morning, while he was playing with his blocks, he built the city of Jericho and of course we had to go round and round the city till I was dizzy.
Oh, homeschool is FUN!!!! (amongst other things...) |
