This week in preschool, we are on the letter S. We will be studying the Solar System. Of course this will spill over into a unit study for all the children. :D Here is Noah's S for Solar System!

He will also do this Spacesuit craft, because people can't breath in space! It has a different atmosphere than Earth...

Planets are a part of the Solar System. Where do we live... find it. Describe how it differs from other planets, after investigating some planet facts.

Jacob and Noah worked on the two different skies. Noah worked on the darkness, called "night", while Jacob worked on the light, called "day"... Then I glued them together and hung them in the kitchen. We will further discuss the differences and similarities later in the week.

We learned about Meteoroids and Craters.

Noah has really enjoyed this site: Star Child... we will continue to explore more of this in the next couple of weeks. So far we have discussed the difference between planets and dwarf planets. Hence Pluto, Noah's favorite little "planet"...

We made balloon "space rockets"...

Noah learned about orbiting with the help of big brother. Check it out!

Our book list for Solar System is:

Explore and Learn: Earth and Space

I wonder why... Stars Twinkle

Spinning Worlds

Our verse this week is: "The heavens are proclaiming the esteem of El; And the expanse is declaring the work of His hand. Day to day pours forth speech, And night reveals knowledge." Ps. 19:1-2

Learn for Life!

We are learning for life, not for school!
Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance. ~Will Durant
"He is educated who can find out what he does not know." ~George Simmel (1875)
"Let My teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants." ~Deut. 32:2
“Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, you people in whose heart is My law: Do not fear the reproach of men, nor be afraid of their insults. For the moth will eat them up like a garment, and the worm will eat them like wool; but My righteousness will be forever, and My salvation from generation to generation.” ~Isa 51:7-8

Simple Faith

The entire Word of YHWH, both “Old” and “Renewed” Covenants, is the instruction of a loving and gracious Father to His children. It is the perfect and unchanging law that gives us liberty (Ps. 119:44-45; James 2:24-26). Nothing will pass from the whole word of YHWH, until everything that will happen, has happened. (Matt 5:17-20). YHWH’s people delight in His instruction (Ps. 1:2). The Torah was not given for salvation. It is the loving instruction of how a redeemed people should live. Yeshua kept His Fathers commandments and lived in His love. We are instructed to walk as He walked (1 Jn. 2:3-6). We are to obey YHWH’s commandments and to hold to the testimony of Yeshua (Rev. 12:17).
