JSB: Week 6 - The Forgiving Prince

The Forgiving Prince (pgs. 76-83) tells the story of Joseph, being sold into slavery in Egypt and bringing his family to Egypt to join him.

The verse for the week was:

"God sent me before you to preserve us." Genesis 45:7

Our vocabulary for the week was: dream, magnificent and famine.

In history we read about Egypt. The Story of the Nile by Dr. Anne Millard was great for the pictures to look at and talk about different things we found. I didn't like that the book was not arranged chronologically (it was set up geographically by heading north on the Nile). Egypt by Joyce Tyldesley went more in depth than we were ready for but was great to look through and read little bits here and there. The illustrations were very well done. Our last book was also entitled Egypt by Julie Murrary.  This book was good for giving a little bit of history and some more modern information too. The text is a little, not much, bit more age appropriate for early elementary grades.

For our art project I drew a basic, I mean really basic man, on a piece of paper. The girls used the watercolor paints to color a "coat of many colors."
