Upcoming Spirit Week Schedule

Tuesday, October 31^st: Dress Up Day. Costumes are fine as long as they aren’t scary. I will be looking to children’s literature as inspiration for my costume that day. In addition to the curriculum on the schedule , we will have a treat that day and I will plan a pumpkin themed craft.

Regions: Rapa Nui & the Moai Sculptures. We watched a brief video about Easter Island. Students learned so much and were really engaged. We made miniature Moai. This was a great connection to volcanic island & rocks as well as South American Landmarks. I briefly tied this in to reaching people with God's Word all across the world. If I had more time I would have shared the following story from Wycliff Bible Translators:

 

Art: We learned a little more about Rembrandt. Next week we will complete our mini book & art project.

Have a wonderful week!

 

Our Devotion was about hikers that climb Mt. Everest, and how they use a sherpa or guide to help along the way. They needed an expert, someone that had traveled before, to lead them in the correct path. Isn't this a beautiful picture of Christ walking with us in life's challenges?

 

We also had fun with a new math review game "Apple Sum" where they partnered up and circled sums of 10.

 

And we completed Lesson 7E for Spelling.

*Please make sure you are sending this on Fridays. We will always take time for devotion, math revies & spelling from the book on Fridays.
