MFW CTG Week 2

Time seems to be flying by as my girls are growing up in the blink of an eye. I’m amazed at how independent my 10 year old is becoming. It seems like yesterday that we worried because she barely spoke. I remember stopping everything and quieting myself as I tried to hear and comprehend what my little girl was saying. Today, I’m reminded that all scripture is God breathed and sometimes we have to quiet ourselves and tune in to truly hear God’s voice during our time with him. I loved the illustration of the little sheep knowing his shepherd’s voice in The Tanglewood’s Secret (page 14). We talked about how we are God’s sheep and how we should be able to discern our master’s voice.

Our calendar is based on a Solar calendar, but the Jewish calendar is based on a lunar calendar

  We laminated the pieces and applied them with a low heat hot glue gun.
  

Science

• Absorbing & Reflecting (Science in the Beginning)

When we shined the white light on the red paper, the red light
was reflected while the other colors were absorbed.

 When the white light hit the white paper, all colors were 
reflected making the room much brighter.


• Light and Energy (Science in the Beginning) 
  
  The white bag didn't feel as hot as the black bag, since the
  black bag absorbed the light. The black bag converted the radiant
  energy of the sun to thermal energy causing it to heat up.  The white
  plastic reflected the sun's energy, so no thermal energy is created.
• Investigate different forms of energy Here
