Today we did our review about Cain and Abel and their offerings to God. How God accepted Abel's and not Cain's and why. To bring it home I had the kids each pick something they love that they would be willing to offer to God knowing it would never be returned. At first I think they thought it would be easy, but it took them a while to decide. Joey eventually picked his favorite Oakland A's hat. Eden gave up her boom box that she loves to listen to the radio on. I gave up my ring my best friend Donna gave me. All of these things mean a great deal to us and we left them on our nature table for our school fairy to deliver to God for us as an offering of our love and thanksgiving.
Next we wrote a Bible verse about Cain and Abel and then did drawings that show the differences between them. Abel being a shepherd and Cain a harvester. Then we read stories about Enoch and Seth. Jager is still not feeling well, so we called it a day after that. We may do some handwork this afternoon.
This is my picture of Cain and Abel
Here is Eden's drawing. She has never done shade drawing before and she did a fantastic job!
This one is Joey's drawing. He did a great job drawing his people. In fact I've seen drawings he's done of people before and they are usually stick people. His garden for Cain is excellent too!
