Week of November 5, 2007
This week Aaron is continuing his learning about the Israelite journey. He learned about the Golden calf. He is quite funny when he continuously asks, "Why do they keep making God angry?" I think it is cool that he is already picking up on the subtle things like that. He is already seeing the repetition of sin and how horrible and depraved we as sinners are.
Also this week, Aaron has been praying a lot for people in our own family who do not know God (his words, not mine). This is his thing, it just came up in his prayers and then we discussed it. The innocence of children still baffles me sometimes as he told me he did not understand how people could not go to church and love God. He said, "If you love God, don't you want to go and learn more about him?" Out of the mouth of babes!
Academically, Aaron learned counting by 5's this week and in money nickels. They are done with all phonograms and he will begin reading after Thanksgiving. In music they are studying the music of Jean Fredrick Handel. In geography they are continuing to learn all the states ands state capitals.
I praise God for the blessing of this school. God has always provided for us even though we are so unworthy of any gift from him. Aaron's teachers and principal and board are God seeking people who truly want these children to be full of the knowledge of Christ. The biblical learning is NUMBER 1 at this school as well it should be. They work hard to keep the world and popular culture out of the classrooms and I am at awe at the love they show these children. God is showing up at this school and you can see his hand in every part of this institution. Praise be to God alone!
