Just another 4.5 days of school...so this morning I asked, what was our favorite Psalm of the year?
We used the Notgrass drawing pages each morning for our devotion time. I would read the Psalm, we would talk about it, then the kids would draw a picture, based on the written Notgrass prompts, and that would help them to remember what the Psalm was about.
Sissi said her favorite was Psalm 54, because she likes that God always listens to her, every time, all the time, and she feels safe that way. (Yes, the cursive handwriting is mine, she wanted it to be "fancy" for God.)
Her second favorite was Psalm 51, because she likes snow and playing in it and it reminds her of God creating the earth.
Gwangi said his favorite was Psalm 104, because it reminds him that God created awesome creatures such as the Leviathan.
His second favorite was Psalm 98, because he feels like the ocean (and other water) is an unlimited adventure. You never know what is underneath the waves.
Krypto said his favorite was Psalm 5, because it comforts him.
He said his second favorite was Psalm 119, because it reminds him that God is always there and will guide him.
Just a few more pictures from our morning....
For her reading aloud time with me this morning, she picked Amelia Bedelia. Clearly, these are her new favorite books to read.
We're wrapping up our coverage of all of History this next week! Next year, we're back to Egypt and Adam and Eve! Today, Krypto and my discussion was about 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, the genocide in Rwanda, and a few other things that occurred during the Bush administration.
Gwangi is seen here working on his math. He is half way through Math U See Delta, which is actually 4th grade math. I'll have him go back and do a review in the fall, but he (really, all of them are) doing very well in math. On the floor you can see "The Indian in the Cupboard," which he finished up reading today for his literature assignment.
