This week's Bible study focused on John 8:12 "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." We also read Exodus 12:21-22 and Nehemiah 9:7-12 and discussed how God led his people through darkness as a pillar of light. I reminded the girls of a study we did a few years ago when we learned that a shadow/darkness is caused by the absence of light and that when we have Jesus (the Light of the World) there is no darkness. We also decorated a candle with this week's Bible verse and use it as our centerpiece. How fitting!
We had a pretty full week of history! We read North American Indians and learned all about the different tribes. Now that we live in Seminole country, this was particularly interesting to the girls. We continued reading our Squanto book, learned a little bit about sign language and made our tepees and wigwams. Sydney had a good time coming up with a story to put on her tepee the same way the Native Americans might have decorated their homes.
This week's science lessons were all about the stars. We read Psalm 147:4 which says that God decides how many stars there should be and what names they should have. We learned that there are more than 200 billion billion stars in the sky and decided that we have no idea how many that must really be. According to our book, if everyone in the world named 50 billion stars we still wouldn't come close to naming them all...That's A LOT of stars! We also spent some time discussing the speed of light and how long it takes for light to travel to the moon and sun.
We finished memorizing "God Bless America" - even Sadey knows the words! We also plowed through some more art, spelling, math and language arts work this week. Fun, fun, fun!
