It’s a new week of school-at-home and we are enjoying it!
In Bible we are covering Genesis 8, 9, 11, 12 and 18. This morning Isabel read Genesis 8 and the story of Noah and his family entering and leaving the ark.
“It doesn’t matter if you are young or old; God wants you to be part of what He is doing in the world. This week you will meet several people who waited for a long, long time to see God do what He would do. May we be willing to follow when God calls us, and remember to keep our eyes on Him and not try to “make a name for ourselves.” – Luke Holzmann
Also this week in Bible, we are continuing in the book of Luke 2:21-4:44. This morning we read about baby Jesus being presented in the Temple and meeting Simeon and Anna.
In our memorization of a Psalm 8 poem/song, which ties in the the story of creation in Genesis from last week, I added 5 more lines from the poem/verse. Isabel is doing an amazing job learning it. She might even have the whole thing memorized before the 6th week!
“O Lord, our Lord how majestic is Your name in all the earth. Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens! From the mouth of infants and nursing babes.
You have established strength.
(last weeks memorization)
Because of Your adversaries, to make the enemy and the revengeful cease. When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained.
(this week’s memorization)
This week we continue our 3 books that we began last week: “Walk the Worlds Rim”, “Pedro’s Journal“ and “A Lion to Guard Us“. This week we will finish 2 of them.
This week, we have started cursive writing. It’s more of a review, since Isabel learned cursive writing in the latter part of 2nd grade. Anything to get the pencil in her hand, since she dislikes writing so very much!
This week’s American Indian prayer focus is on the Taino and Arawak tribes. The Taino were a part of the Arawak tribe and both tribes are from the Caribbean. We look forward to learning more about these trips this week as we pray together for them.
