Letter "H" and skin

We had a good school day today.  Everyone was in a good mood which really helped!

K made her letter for the unit "H" with glue & dry macaroni noodles.  It took her awhile to complete it because she had more fun dumping & picking up the noodles from the table than actually gluing them to the paper.  :o)

Her Bible story was about the Israelites worshipping the golden calf instead of God.  So we talked briefly about her worshipping God because He is the one true God. Her devotional was about "helping" and she always likes to look at the pictures of the other children.  Today she had to point out "helpers" and what they were doing.  It was good to talk with her about helping around the house and ways she can help me more often.

She especially likes her song this week - Ten Commandments from The Singing Bible (click HERE and choose #16 from the demo to hear a sample of it) because it's a hip hop song.  D even sang it with us this morning.  :o)  I've said this before, but those of you with little kids need to get this CD set (or ask for it for Christmas!).  It's great for in the car or around the house.  D enjoys listening to it, too.



D's Bible story was about Naaman - a man with leprosy who Elisha sent to wash in the Jordan River 7x to be healed by God.  For D's science activity we talked about our skin - sense of touch.  I drew a circle on a small piece of saran wrap with a black sharpie marker to be a "sore" like leprosy.  D then colored it with washable brown marker and wiped oil on it.   (K wanted to do it - so she did everything, too).  They dipped their "skin" (a.k.a. saran wrap) into the water 7x.  The "dirt" (a.k.a. marker) washed off.  I added some soap to the water and they dipped their "skin" 7x again.  The oil came off, but the "sore" remained because only God could take them away and bring true healing, not the water.

D read another book today for his book-it list (makes #2 or 16 books), completed another math page adding 9 which he did correct except for 1 problem.  He even read and wrote the story problems without any assistance from me!   Hooray!
