Since the stories we are teaching during second hour (at least at the Clovernook location) are set in Ancient Babylon, Persia and Rome, I thought I would let everyone know that I have some additional books about those cultures that I am bringing with me each week to use in the 4th/5th grade rooms. I know this is a little late for Persia since it's this week, but it could be used as a way to review the story of Esther during a different part of the month....
At any rate, I will have all the books and be using one or two of them each week from about 11:25 to the end of the class, but people are welcome to borrow them to use either at the beginning or directly after children's worship. I won't be using every book every week, so there is greater flexibility for those books which are not pertinent to that week's story.
Also, I really liked the idea of a prayer journal, so I kind of expanded the idea. I'm letting the kids chose as an option each week, and work on a personal prayer journal. They can create art, worship poetry and write out prayers, copy scripture ect. in the journal, and then at the end of the month, I'm going to let them take it home with them and give them blank pages at the end to continue. Since we're talking about courage, I'm bringing in some drawing books for them to draw images that would have to do with courage....
So, those are just some ideas I had to help fill in the month. Hope somebody finds it helpful!
