Homeschooling 9/15/09

Today we took some time out to learn about worship. We talked about how when we worship God we can dance, or sing, but whatever our worship to the Lord we need to give our all! We talked about raising our hands and how that is a symbol of surrender to the Lord, and giving God all of ourselves, all our hearts, and lives. We talked about how we always want to give God our best! And best we did, because the girls tired me out! We danced for the longest time worshiping God. Their favorite worship songs were Chris Tomlin "How can I keep from singing your praise" & Kari Jacobe "Revelation song".

After worship time, we read the book "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle. The girls loved it I had to read it to them twice! And almost a third time until I told them we were going to make our own caterpillars now! This was a GREAT craft for them this week since the shape for this month is a circle. They also were able to practice with colors as well.

First thing we did was take a piece of poster board and cut it in half. I then cut out a bigger circle for the head, and then two smaller circles of each color. The girls talked about what color circles they had and as I was cutting them and handing them the circles we counted how many each of them had. Then mommy glued them and put them on their sheet, and then they got to glue on eyes and ears.


fter we got the caterpillar together we took little pompoms that were the same color as the circles and the girls got to glue them to the matching color circle. This way their caterpillar had a more real feel to him.



And this was our finished product!! They loved their caterpillars!!

For our bible lesson today, we continued talking about how "God makes wonderful things to eat." We had a visit again today from "Taco" our hand puppet and he talked about how God gave us wonderful things to eat like Strawberries, grapes, apples, and oranges. The girls loved getting to taste all the yummy foods that God created for us. They learned again today that all their favorite foods were made by God, and they had an even better time tasting them all!
