Parables of Jesus Lapbook

Posted in Homeschooling

Currently, we’re studying some of the parables of Jesus. We’re focusing on parables about growth and parables about stewardship. I wanted to come up with a way to review all of the parables that we’ve studied throughout the unit. I thought since Munchkin enjoys the lapbooks so much that I would make up a simple lapbook for her. I assembled it, and she’ll fill it out at the end of the unit.

We also found…

All I can say about the opening ceremonies last night is WOW! At first, when I brought up watching the opening ceremonies, Munchkin wasn’t at all interested. Then, I turned it on. She couldn’t take her eyes off the screen as beautiful, awe inspiring images passed before her. I allowed her to stay up way too late, but it was so worth it. Unfortunately, Munchkin woke up sick this morning. I’m sure it has something to do with getting up early all week for VBS, being around lots of kids all week, and staying up very late last night. We…
