Creation Unit

After our busy summer months we decided to do a little "summer school" before the year officially started to slowly get back into the routine of things. This year we will be using "My Father's World" curriculum and so far we love it! Our first unit was on Creation and I was so impressed with how quickly Sawyer learned what God made each day and that he is continuing to remember it!
Day 1: God made light when there was none. We talked about how in the beginning there was nothing and we closed our eyes for a while to get a concept of this.
Day 2: God made clouds and skies so blue. We sure did have a lot of fun looking at all the beautiful clouds in the sky.
Day 3: God made flowers and plants and trees. Today we went outside and picked flowers and leaves that God created.
Day 4: God made sun, moon, stars galore! Today we made a mobile to hang from our dining room that had a sun, moon and stars!
Day 5: God made birds and fish alive! Today we made sure we went outside and feed our birds.
Day 6: God made animals and man that day! The boys had fun finding and cutting out animals and people they found in magazines.
Day 7: God rested in His Heaven! What better way to spend a day resting than having popcorn and watching a movie!
It was a lot of FUN discovering all that God made! He even learned a song (the actual words are listed above with each day) and this is how Sawyer sang it. Day 1 God made light when there was none Day 2 God made water and skies so blue Day 3 God made flowers, plants and trees Day 4 God made sun, moon, stars galore (which sounds like "dalord") Day 5 God made birds and fish alive Day 6 God made animals and us Day 7 God took a break in His Heaven!
