On Sunday at First Day School, the Lone Star Girl was learning about the religions in our unit on faiths with an an ethic of service - Friends, Humanists and Unitarian Universalists, specifically. We are about finished (we never finish learning about Friends, of course, but finished with the unit) except for the field trip. We haven't, in our busy-ness, been very good about keeping up with field trips but the Girl is very interested in Unitarians so we will be sure to be better about visiting this time.
The Lone Star Baby had her lesson on the Ten Commandments and a brief lesson on the Bible and the different kinds of books in the Bible and where the stories we had been studying in the Old Testament and the New Testament were found. It was nice - she got to use her mad reference skillz.
This pretty much finishes our use of the Godly Play materials for awhile, except for repeats, in our lessons. We've done the parables from the New Testament, as well as the Christmas and Easter-related lessons that interest me. We've done the Old Testament stories that I found appropriate. There are a couple of good parable synthesis and otherwise New Testament related lessons that the Lone Star Baby is not old enough for yet and that I will probably introduce when she is eight or nine, if the means are still available, but that's it for now.
I intend to repeat a lesson using the Advent materials and a lesson using the Christmas materials over the Christmas season probably, but then we will be moving on. We are going to spend most of 2011 on Quaker Testimonies and practices, utilizing some Faith-n-Play materials I will make as well as some other materials I am drawing in.
