Homeschoolers/Educators/Parents: Sketch/color an illustration. Theme: Sabbath Day. List three ways you can do something special on the Sabbath Day. Put these words in alphabetical order: Sabbath, day, Sunday, prayers, remember, God, help, others. Write and say the word “Sabbath” three times so you can learn how to pronounce it and spell it. Read your favorite Bible story (like The Good Samaritan) that teaches how to help others in Learning to Read: New Testament Stories (available in paperback on Amazon, audiobook, and Kindle.) Share your favorite story with a friend. Write down each person’s name that you want to pray for on a separate piece of paper. Hang it up or put it somewhere you can easily find it. Find a quiet place. Say a special prayer today for them. (Skills: identify, comprehend, apply, creativity, compassion)
