Cycle 2, Week 2 - Resources

Geography - European Waters

One of our favorite ways to study our maps is to look for familiar shapes in the countries or bodies of water. This week, you can make some fun connections this way! The Baltic Sea looks a little like a bunny so we call it the "Baltic bunny". The Adriatic Sea is next to Italy, which looks like a boot, so we always remember that Adrian wears boots when she travels to the Mediterranean (which is the big sea nearby!). The North Sea is a fairly easy one to remember if they know that north is at the top and the English channel is where we slide down past England. Hope these cues help!

Scripture Memory Work - Ephesians 6

You will find TONS of videos and songs for Ephesians 6 on Youtube on CC Connected. On community days, we will be using the motions from this video because they are pretty simple and easy to remember. Note - the actual scripture starts around the 1:30 mark of the video if you want to fast forward.  https://youtu.be/UT4-rJqaipQ
