Bible Story: Noah building the Ark
Bible Verse: If you love me, you will obey what I command.
Both of the boys learned the Bible verse very well this week and we talked about it how Noah loved God, and obeyed him even when the people though he was strange to build a boat. They seemed to comprehend that since we love God, we need to obey what the Bible says about being kind to each other and obeying our parents. At least they answered all the questions I asked correctly! But I'm sure it will take some time for them to actually be able to consistenly act on this lesson learned :-)
Here are some pictures to show more of what we did:
Using the tools they thought Noah might have used to build to ark.
We also picked out matching (2 of every kind) animal crackers from a huge pile and glued them onto a picture of the ark.
Counting all the "loot" from our Letter D scavenger hunt
They both filled up these boxes with things around the house that started w/ the letter D.

Our "life school" lesson of the day...
Wonderful day for a picnic lunch on the back deck. The leaves and acorn near Wyatt's knee fell while were were eating and started a great natural opportunity for teaching/learning! See, who said kids need to go to "preschool"?
they don't need preschool with such a creative mommy like you:)-Lisa
