Unit 5 Day 1

I was surprised to find our week off of school to be such a nice break. It's not that this material is difficult or even too time consuming, but it was still nice to have a week off from "school."


so, after a week of vacation bible school and a long weekend of camping in Hot Springs, we started back into our school lessons today.

Unit 5 is a review week.

I thought this meant that we would be reviewing the bible stories as well as the letters, but turns out the material reviews the letters, but continues on in the bible material.

Today we started to story of Joseph.

For an added math activity, I had her draw one big person to be Jacob/Israel and then 12 smaller people to be his 12 sons. We counted the sons she drew and then she wrote the number '12.'

The bible activity for today had her act out Joseph getting his new colorful coat. Then we used paint and a coffee filter to make a colorful coat. While I was setting up the paints I asked her to draw Joseph's colorful coat on a stick figure man. This was not a scheduled activity, but it kept her busy while I got the craft supplies together.

For the letter activity, instead of simply reviewing the "flash cards," I made a little jumping game for her to do. This seemed like more fun and got her up and moving as well. Win Win.
