Preparing Hearts for His Glory
This week we learned more about Nebuchadnezzar and how God used him to show Daniel and the Israelites that He was still in control. We learned about the dream that God gave King Nebuchadnezzar about the statue. God revealed the meaning of the dream to Daniel.
The kids made invisible ink with baking soda and water. They used a q tip to paint it onto their paper.
During a party where Belshazzar used the goblets from God's temple for a party, a hand wrote on the wall in Aramaic. Daniel was summoned to interpret the writing on the wall for King Belshazzar.
The writing showed God's judgment of Belshazzar. It said God was bringing Belshazzars rule to an end by dividing his kingdom.
King Cyrus allowed the Israelites to return to Jerusalem to rebuild God's temple. The temple was finally rebuilt when God sent Haggai and Zechariah to encourage the people.
The kids drew the temple in disappearing ink too. It was fun to reveal with blue water.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105
I sure love his drawing!
The Day 4 writing was about Esther. We read from Grandpa's Box, wrote our narration, and then watched the Veggie Tales show about Esther. They liked that!
In Science, the kids placed an egg into vinegar and let it sit overnight. They thought it was so neat to watch the shell dissolve. I'd love to have a final pic but, my boy wiggled the bouncy egg right off his hand and it did break into the floor! Be careful!
The kids found the Dino egg above in pic 4 .... made from plaster at the Dollar Tree. They carved out the plaster and a baby Dino was inside. We learned that reptile eggs are tough and leathery with a built in food supply much like a chicken egg without the shell.
Resurrection to Reformation
This unit he learned that the Black Plague began in China in the 1330's and spread by a ship to Messina, Sicily.
He marked cheerios and placed into envelopes that were labeled. He rolled the dice to see just how long he could survive.
He visited the 2nd city and got the plague... that didn't stop him though, as he went to 3 more cities to spread it before he died. He was not able to make it back to London safely. He learned that the plague was spread easily.
He thought this was a fun way to demonstrate the effects of the plague and how quickly it spread. It eventually killed 1/3 of Europe's population. It spread to port cities by sea routes and by land on the Silk Road to Europe.
This week in Tales from Shakespeare he read Merchant from Venice.
This week we were able to get our Operation Christmas Child boxes completed and dropped off! The kids really enjoyed shopping and getting the boxes ready and it was such a great outreach!
We hope you had a great Thanksgiving holiday!
See you next week!
