Day Two of The Fruit of the Spirit Unit Study

Today we did alot of school, and all before noon! We did two lessons from our Answers for Preschoolers. We're learning about seasons since we're on day four of creation. We're learning about the tilt of the earth and how it rotates around the sun (and rotates every 24 hours to give us a day) My daughter did two language arts worksheets about what one does during the different seasons and what one wears during the summer. She did two math worksheets and an art/shapes worksheet. She's been loving the Answers curriculum. We also did alot of the Fruit of the Spirit study I made. We read Galatians 5:16-26, read verses about love and made a tree to put fruit on. Then we cut out and colored a strawberry, wrote LOVE on it, and attached it to the tree.

My daughter is super excited about this study and can't wait to put an apple on the tree. Naturally, that's the last fruit as it's being used for self-control. Since most people associate an apple with Eve in the Garden of Eden, we're using an apple based on that *smiles*. Tomorrow we're going to read stories about love. I have some books that are based on parables from the Bible but they use a raccoon (typical human) and a lion (king of the forest/allegorical God) to retell stories for kids. I also have some Bible stories as told by Gerbert *smiles*. If you don't know who Gerbert is, the best way to describe him is "a little orange cricket" except he's not a cricket, he's a puppet and teaches kids about God and morality. I grew up watching him on VHS.

Now, we're going to enjoy some fresh chocolate chip cookies, milk, and Mary Poppins! TTFN, as Tigger would say!
