Unit 8 (November 10-14)

This week we will continue with Moses and the people of Isreal (God's people). We will be modifying just a little. I don't want any children ending up in therapy. In modifying I will just shorten and leave off the bad spots.

Monday: God has told his people to take the blood of a lamb and put it on the sides of the doors of their houses as well as on the board on the top of the door. God is going to send an angel. Every house that has blood on the door the people will remain safe. The blood on the door shows that they are God's people.

Tuesday: The king, not being one of God's followers, did not put blood on his door. Since he was not one of God's followers his oldest son was not protected and he died. Now the kind is very sad. He is sorry that he did not believe God and do what he said. The king calls moses to visit him. The king tells Moses that he will stop hurting the people of Isreal. He will also tell Moses to take God's people out of his country so that God will not kill any more of his people.

Wednesday: God's people go on a long trip our of the king's country. They do not know where to go. Only God knows where He wants them to go. God is leading them to a good country where they will not be hurt. God has sent a big cloud that moves along in the front of them. The people follow the cloud to where God wants them to go. Then at night the cloud becomes fire so that the people can see to follow it through the dark.

Thursday: Moses parts the Red Sea. He lifts his hands and the sea parts so that God's people can make it through the water. God is always taking care of His people.

Friday: After all of God's people are through the water, God lets the water go back to where it was. The king and the soldiers were chasing after them. When God's people were safely passed and the water went back to normal, the king and his soldiers were in the way. They were drowned by the water. God's people were safe though on the other side, ready to follow their cloud and obey God.

Devotional:

H is for helping your mom and dad. It says in the Bible that this makes God glad.

Number of the week: 4

We will continue working on the number fours. Last week we practiced counting objects (candy). It was a little difficult for some to actually put a number with an object. We will be practicing this each week with each new number. We will practicing taking away from our pile, adding to our pile, etc. (Easily enough... this is math!!)

Shape of the week: Diamond

Nursery Rhyme: There was an old Woman

There Was an Old Woman

There was an old woman who lived in a shoe.

She had so many children,

she didn't know what to do.

So, she gave them broth

without any bread,

And kissed them all softly and put them to bed.

We will continue working on spelling our name verbally as well as writing it. There is a website that you can go on to make them some sheets of their name to use at home
http://www.handwritingworksheets.com/

I used the largest one in the basic print. It is super easy to use!

I also recommend that while riding in a car, fixing something for them, etc. that you take the opportunity to work on spelling their name verbally. While we are playing, or if they come up and ask a question I will just ask them how to spell their name. Some can and some are still working on it. I will say their name, then slowly spell it while they repeat each letter after me. Super easy! This is also a great way to work on address and phone number for those who are ready.
