Letter of the Week: Dd

K~girl:Dd Dddd

A~boy:DDDDddddddddddddddddddddddd

Bible Verse: "God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. " Genesis 1:25

As if our daily lives aren't already filled with enough dinosaurs, we thought it would be a good time to really dig our, omnivores, teeth into this subject.

Here's my little Paleontologist...

That's what he wants to be when he grows up!

For Art we are learning about sculptures.

Now we get to make our own Dino sculptures.

K~girl decided her triceratops didn't need a body, just a tail;o) We've been learning that Art can be all shapes, sizes, and color and can be whatever one can imagine.

Our last lesson with our Dinosaurs was Dino Math. We thought it would be fun to count all of A~boy's dinosaurs, separate them into dino families and extinct each family with different circumstances. This helped us work on our adding, grouping and subtracting along with introducing many different theories with dinosaurs.

Mommy's Lesson: How to Teach about Dinosaurs?

As a Bible believing family, I realized this fasincation our son has with dinosaurs has really made me research all sides...all theories. And there are a lot of theories, even from christian perspectives-Just as there are a lot of different interpretations of the Bible. I do not and will not try to have all the answers and will trust God to show us what is meant to be seen in his time and way, through whatever resources he sends me to. That is why I believe the Bible is the "Living Word" in my life. God's personal journal to me, just as I pray it will be for our children.

I do believe science will never have all the answers because it is ever changing and based on theories. But Just as in religion, I believe, it is important to learn about ALL sides so we can grow our minds to be ready for the ultimate Truth. So what will I teach the children??? That anything taught without our Creator and Savior centered in our hearts while learning, will not be worth it's weight in knowledge in the End.
