It IS going to be a great day! We will have a quiet, concentrated morning of work. (YAY!) Then, this afternoon, we can enjoy some free reading, some badminton (with nets) and then journaling at the end of the day.
I do want to encourage each of you that school is your JOB right now. Though you don't actually get paid for it in dollars and cents, it is the work that God has given you to do in preparation for your future. School is a place to learn so many things - academics (reading, writing, arithmetic), social skills (how to get along with others and live cooperatively), spiritual truths (who you are in Christ and how God wants to love you and lead you through this journey of life), and healthy living activities (exercise, discipline,)
So....... let's get at it by starting the day with the WORD OF GOD.
Watch "The Bible Project: The Book of Genesis Overview - Part 1 of 2"
What did you think? Pretty cool illustrations, hey. Aren't those guys pretty talented to create this. Would you ever want to be part of a project like this? Why or why not? (You can just think about this or write about it in journal or send me an email, but DON'T TALK, because it is WWEWW)
now for Part 2: "The Bible Project: The Book of Genesis - Part 2 of 2"
What did you think of that one?
Now you need to hear an awesome song! See if you can recognize the singers.
"The Fabulous Bentley Brothers - Genesis"
Now, please bow your head and close your eyes and spend some time thanking God for creation and for the blessings you have (food, school, friends, family, health, freedom, shelter, etc.) Then pray for some of the needs we know to pray for - Jemma's mom and baby sister, Andrei's family on the loss of his Grandma, any more pet illnesses or issues, and then pray for 3 different people in this room today. Keep praying until you hear me say it is time to go on our walk.
WALK
When we come back, we want to work on MATH. (YAY) Pick up BOOKLET #4 on Mrs. R's desk unless you are behind, then pick up an extra copy of any booklet you are missing.
