This week we studied M and we learned about the Moon. We did our usual worksheets that help us learn about the letter M and the M sound as well as practice writing them. We also learned about the #2.
In learning about the moon we learned that the moon doesn't have any light of it's own and that if just reflects the Sun's light. The Sun gives light to the moon, so the moon can be a light to the world. We continued on with the same scripture verse from last week, just to reinforce it, and in this context we talked about Jesus being the Sun, then we are like the Moon and we need to reflect Jesus' light to others. One way we visualized this is we went into the dark bathroom (again! It is the only room with no windows!!) and I shined the flashlight into the mirror and it reflected the light onto the girls. So the flashlight was the Sun, the Mirror was the Moon and it reflected the Sun's light onto us.
We also studied the different phases of the moon: full, half, crescent and new and drew pictures of them.
This week I also had a "day off" and Daddy was my substitute teacher. The girls were so excited that Daddy was going to do school with them. One of the activities that Daddy helped supervise was to make a mobile of the Sun, Moon and Stars.
