One thing that is so great about My Father's World curriculum is that even though Ella is in 2nd grade and Leah is in kindergarten, their lessons match up so great! Right now, Ella is learning the names of Jesus for Bible. This weeks name is "Light of the World." Leah is learning the letter 'Ss'. With each letter she learns a biblical truth. The letter 'Ss' is for "sun" and her biblical truth is "Jesus is the Light of the World."
The recommended project for Ella worked out to be perfectly appropriate for Leah too! We took small candles and I printed out a text box oval that said "Jesus is the Light of the World." They used glue to attach the paper to the candle. Then, they spread glue over the rest of the candle and sprinkled it with gold glitter. We will burn them at dinner each night this week.

In addition to the Bible lesson, Ella's science lessons for this week and next are the sun, planets, gallexies, and stars. Leah's letter this week is 'Ss' for sun and next week is 'Mm' for moon. So needless to say, we have a field trip planned to the planetarium :)
