We started our Creation Unit today. Isaac wanted to get right to it, but alas, he had to work on math first. Then we read an article titled How It All Began, by Beth Shanks. He did a few activity sheets from Calvary Chapel (some orally), and we watched the first hour of Kevin Hovind's Creation Series.
Isaac played with legos to keep his hands busy while he listened, and I could tell he was really listening from the comments he kept making to me about the video. He enjoyed dinosaur crackers as we watched. We read a really cool true book about dinosaurs as well as a fiction creation book with awesome illustrations called At the Break of Day.
We went to the pond for recess and he made nature observations and recorded them in his nature journal while I cleaned out the camper for our weekend guests.
When we came home, he worked on cursive and made dinosaurs out of clay. I worked on our bulletin board for our "open house" this weekend. |
