This week has been “Ocean School”! Each week, Lydia’s teacher picks a fun theme that will be a part of her every day lessons–in games, worksheets and crafts. I like to take this same theme and use it for Asa. It makes Asa feel like he’s doing Lydia’s school, extends the lessons for Lydia and it also gives me great ideas that I don’t have to come up with on my own!
I’ve mentioned before how I take one book and read it every day to the kids. I searched and searched for a book about the Ocean (or dolphins, or sharks or fish) that also pointed to God the Creator. I never found one. Do you know of any?
Because this week we have had so much fun investigating God’s creation. It’s been one of our best weeks of homeschool yet and I’m incredibly bummed I don’t have a fabulous GOD MADE THE OCEAN type book to go with it!
Here are some of the fun activities we did…



Our most exciting activity was going to the Georgia Aquarium! It’s the largest of it’s kind and we spent an entire day (10am-4pm!) just exploring. We’ve been to the Aquarium several times but this was the best time ever because we spent lots of time just looking and watching. We got to know the names of the fish, asked questions to the volunteers and basically just admired God’s handiwork!




“Who else has held the oceans in his hand? Who has measured off the heavens with his fingers? Who else knows the weight of the earth or has weighed the mountains and hills on a scale?” Isaiah 40:12 NLT
