JSB: Week 5 - Son of Laughter

The story of Isaac, laughter, a son born to Abraham and Sarah (pgs. 56-61). The verse we used for this week was:

"Look to heaven and count the stars if you are able. So shall your descendants be." Genesis 15:5

Our vocab for the week was trust and sacrifice.

The song we sang was "Trust and Obey."The third verse goes along well too.

Verse 1:
When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,
What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still,
And with all who will trust and obey. 

Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way
To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

Verse 3:
Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share,
But our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross,
But is blessed if we trust and obey.

For our math time we practiced counting as high as we could. A and E really don't like to count so we have trouble getting past 20. So I thought we could use our animal cards from Noah to help us practice counting. It got us up to 80 so it was a good start.

For science time we looked to the sky. We read two books about the sky. The Night Sky by Robin Nelson was a good beginning book but it only focused on the moon. The Milky Way by Steve Kortenkamp was the other book we used. This book had some information I thought was really good for A and E but then there was some details I didn't want to get into, so we skipped it!

For our art project we decided to make a lamb face mask. A and E practiced their cutting skills by cutting a pink triangle and two large pink ovals. We glued the pieces onto the back of a white paper plate. I drew a mouth on and cut out two holes for eyes.

A cutting one of the pieces for her face mask.

E putting her cotton balls around the outside of her plate.

Baa, Baa. Looks like we have two little lambs wandering around!
