We have been reading through our new bible library each morning to start school off. This day was great because the kids got to see a picture of Bethlehem as it looks nowadays, and then they were wondering if they could go see it. It was fun to see the realization that the bible stories are not just imaginary stories.
This week we read about Jesus' first miracle. These resources are really good as they have a character trait to talk about, lots of illustrations to depict life now and then, and discussions questions too.
While I (mom) read I often let the kids doodle and then give them enough time after the stories to freely color, journal, etc. This is one of Aiden's first journal entries. He also decided that he wanted to learn to write his name in handwriting, and so he did!
Gemma has been drawing people lately. This is a drawing of Mom, Dad, and Gem camping. (There is always a theme to her drawings- camping, 19 Kids and Counting, Horton Hears a Who, and more...)
One morning Aiden made a secret code and mom had to decode his message.
Aiden also made a comic about a ram.
Our little darling, Gem, drawing more people :)
*Keiran is not into the free drawing time yet and usually just listens and helps mom out with Finn.
