Ok, I admit I am a few days behind getting to the library... but we got there today and the children came across some great books. We also got a huge pile of free magazines...one I really think we'll like called Victoria. There were stacks of those free for the taking...Macey is really into that type of thing right now.
I think I finally put the finishing touches on the entire unit study plan! Whew...it was a lot of work. We should wrap it all up by April 27th, with our big Field Day event as the Grande Finale!
For today's studies we:
- Put red food coloring in all the water (flower vases, water jugs and bottles, cups sitting out, etc.) to imitate the water turning to blood as in 1st plague, and discussed what else they could drink...
- Reviewed Exodus chapters 12-16
- Observed our molding yeast bread
- Located Midian, Sinai, and Arabian Desert on a map
- Discussed Bible Signs and named some
- Discussed what is meant by Authority, who has it and why
- Discussed the meaning of various numbers in the Bible
- Watched Genesis with Max McClean on Netflix Instant Viewing
- Looked for signs of the resurrection in Nature
- Decided on our Memory Verses I Corinthians 5:7 and Exodus 3:14
- Listened to some music about Passover
- Practiced our songs for Resurrection Day on piano and singing
So, that is what we managed to do for our schooling today. It looks like a lot, but it didn't take as long as I thought. We also did some fun stuff, like a passover word search, Exodus crossword puzzle, Elijah maze, and some art stuff just for fun. We also watched a video on Youtube of Mark Shultz's song I Am. I don't care for that type of music, but I really like the words. |
