We have had such a busy week so far. Exodus had been amazing and we are just beginning to study chapter 2! This week we are learning about how God views the family. God made the family to be a blessing! We wrote notes to our family members to encourage them and let them know that they are important and loved. I am constantly in awe of how God can speak through children. Those notes were incredible.
We are learning about plants around the Nile. For example, Moses' mother may have used cat tail plant leaves to weave a basket to place baby Moses in the Nile. We learned today about roots~~ a bunch of scientific stuff like phloem and xylem and vascular plants. ~~COOL but just a tiny bit complicated to me.
We pulled some weeds from outside and looked at their primary roots, secondary roots, root hairs and root caps. JR loved this! We cut open the root and looked inside too. NEAT!
We are working on several badges for Keepers of the Faith and Contenders for the Faith. We are almost finished the work for the music badge. HOORAY! We have been completely blessed by reading the words to our favorite hymns each day. God has annointed so many wonderful songs. H finally was able to put her pressed flowers onto her bookmarks. They are going to be sent to her grandparents along with a letter she wrote them. (We are also working on the badge for grandparents.)
I'm very proud of the kids for working hard. We have been working on doing household chores with a good attitude as well.
We're about the same place in our studies. I'll look forward to seeing more of your posts. I loved the lapbooks from chapter 1. We just started Chapter 2 today. Yesterday we had an introduction day... the kids did a weaving project. Pictures are on my blog.
(I've tried to comment on your blog many times! I just figured it out that I have to be signed in to see the post comment! still learning... lol)
