“Shall we consider that we are capable of fashioning our lives and characters to enter into the portals of glory? We cannot do it. We are dependent every moment upon the Spirit of God operating upon us and upon our children.
If parents would see a different state of things in their family, let them consecrate themselves wholly to God, and the Lord will devise ways and means whereby a transformation may take place in their households.”
Child Guidance, 172.
“For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Exodus 20:11

Upcycled story magnets- what a great idea! Old or torn picture books and old Sabbath school papers are excellent sources for pictures. This is a great way to occupy little ones while you are working with older children. Ask a child to arrange the pictures to suit them and then tell you a story- you’ve just worked on some great literacy/pre-writing/early composition skills. Fun!

“Parents should never lose sight of their own responsibility for the future happiness of their children. Isaac’s deference to his father’s judgment was the result of the training that had taught him to love a life of obedience. While Abraham required his children to respect parental authority, his daily life testified that that authority was not a selfish or arbitrary control, but was founded in love, and had their welfare and happiness in view.”
Christian Education, 229

For those of you with children that are naturalists at heart, this might be the foundation of a great season-long unit study. Since it is based on Spring migration patterns, NOW would be a good time to examine the materials carefully to see if they will work for your family.
Program Description:
“Journey North engages citizen scientists in a global study of wildlife migration and seasonal change. K-12 students share their own field observations with classmates across North America. They track the coming of spring through the migration patterns of monarch butterflies, robins, hummingbirds, whooping cranes, gray whales, bald eagles— and other birds and mammals; the budding of plants; changing sunlight; and other natural events. Find migration maps, images, standards-based lesson plans, activities and information to help students make local observations and fit them into a global context. Widely considered a best-practices model for education, Journey North is the nation’s premiere citizen science project for children. The general public is welcome to participate.”
