Little Hands to Heaven: Unit 3

We just completed Unit 3 of Little Hands to Heaven. Siri is still loving having her own school work. The girls and I are learning so much through the Bible stories. There are some things that I have honestly forgotten. This is one thing that is so wonderful about following a Christ-centered curriculum with our children. We get to learn and grow alongside them.

In Unit 3, Siri learned about the letter C and the sound it makes. She has trouble make the sound, but we are slowly working on it. She knows the sound when she hears it, but her little mouth just has trouble with it.

We glued Cheerios in the shape of the letter for a fine motor activity this week. We also walked princess toys along a letter C on the floor. I would love to share that photo, but my wood floor isn't looking so hot right now. We need to refinish them and I am kind of embarrassed. Maybe next week. :)

The Bible stories this week were focused around Abraham. The girls pretended to be Abraham and Lot and chose which land to take. We also built a tent out of the girls' bunk beds to pretend to be Abraham. We chose colorful quilts.

We also made a tent out of an index card and replicated the starry sky Abraham looked up to with spray glue and silver glitter.

We also acted out having the three angels come visit Abraham and Sarah. We had three stuffed animals portray the angels and the girls were Abraham and Sarah.

Yes, we did all the in one day. :) We ran out of time a couple of days, so we read the stories again and acted them out.

Finally, one of my favorites was hugging animals and Bibles. We read the story where God told Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac. God just wanted to know that Abraham love Him more than his son. Abraham almost did it, but God stopped him just in time. Both of the girls hugged a stuffed animal and said "I love you more than anything." Then, they hugged their Bible and said the same thing. When asked how God wants us to act, they both agreed they should love their Bible and God more than anything just like Abraham. This simple action had such meaning for them!

We had a great week learning about the Bible and letters!!!

Little Hands to Heaven: Unit 2

We completed the second unit in Little Hands to Heaven. We had a really great week! Siriana is beginning to enjoy the rhymes more each day. She is really remembering them too. She was looking through The Jesus Storybook Bible today and noticed a in the story of Jonah that a boat was floating. She excitedly ran over to me and told me that the boat did float! I was so proud of her! She listens more than she lets on most of the time. I know it wasn't the same story, but she's 3 so I will take it.

We learned about the letter B this week and talked about Noah and his big boat. We also read about the Tower of Babel. My girls were very much interested in this Tower. I wish I would have gotten more pictures, but we have dealt with some illness here this week.

Siri dot painted inside the letter B here. She just loves dot paint!

Then, I scoured Pinterest and found this adorable Noah's Ark craft. We were able to talk about the Bible Story and count by two's. Both girls did this craft and want them hung up on their wall. 

I'm so sorry that there aren't more pics this week. It's just been a tough one to get through and my house is an absolute mess! Maybe this next week will bring an easier workload. Happy homeschooling!
