Zacchaeus

Week 26 of 36

Learning Poster

Visuals:





Books:

Books for the week : Top- Bible, book of the week, Letter book
Bottom- Character, Fruit of the Spirit and Numbers book

I wanted to share an example of them picking out books to read one afternoon while playing. 



Zacchaeus:


Songs from our Stephen Elkins book and CD collections plus a VT version in there

Zacchaeus song on Youtube
Character Training:
Self-Control
Bible reading with our Child Training Bible. We listened to the verses on the tablet with the You Version app.  My husband and I also praying and working together as parenting team to direct our children more purposefully towards the heart of Christ during times of correction. Through prayer, understanding, Godly consequences and listening. It takes more time, energy, focus and keeping ourselves grounded in the word. Just as we are telling our children that God will equip them and they can trust Him, we are living that out as well.  We don't simply want behavior modification, we are working on hearts here.


Other fun S activities:
Ship for the pirates
Veggie Tales Silly Songs
  



 







Now that Valentine's Day is behind us, we have begun preparing hearts for Resurrection Easter :-)




My throat closes up every time, my voice changes and tears sting my eyes with every reading. The Jesus Storybook Bible truly is a beautiful version for a children's bible. Munchkin excitedly asks about baby Jesus at the end of each story and I'm so thankful there is an eagerness for Christ.

Resting from Big Thoughts for Little People. We listened to the scripture on our tablet.

Pulling out our Child Training Bible more this week to address situations that come up with our boys

Family moments this week:
This is how the boys say bye bye to daddy in the mornings. So glad to be able to do this regardless of what time  daddy has to go in.

Book open, child in lap. One of my favorite sites around the house.

Our flexible schedule also allows me to be there for my extended family. My niece (far right) lost her new born son this week. My other niece (far left) and I flew out for the funeral.
