School days- history

This week in history we learned about Ezekiel and how he ate a scroll. We made edible scrolls out of bread and honey.







We also learned about Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego in the fiery furnace. We experimented with fire- seeing what would catch on fire and what wouldn't. We tried chalk, cloth, a toothpick, a penny, hair, a leaf and a sponge. Our last lesson of the week was about Buddha. The kids often comment on the Buddha statues we'd see at Chinese restaurants. It was good for them to learn a bit more about this false god than what we'd already taught them. We, of course, but the importance on how there is only one GOD.
