History Lesson

Apparently, T had a little history lesson with the girls last night while I was sick. Kt shared this little story she wrote and took to school to share with her classmates. I don't know how accurate it is, but I thought it was cute.

St. Patrich

St. Patrick was a very rich kid. He was British, not Irish. He was just a teenager when his journey began. Well, he was walking on the beach just being lazy, but then out of no where, a pirat ship came and kidnapped him. Then, they took him to Iriland. Wile he was there he was threated as a slave. he had to eat with the animals like pigs and he was a prisoner. Not like a person in jal because he did not do a bad thing. He was treated wores. But don't lose hope, because one night he had a dream. The dream was that he was walking on the beach and there was another ship. But this ship was not a pirate ship it was a ship that would rescue him, so he exaped. He went down to the beach and there was the ship. Its like God make the dream to save him. When he was older he went back to Irland and told others about God and his mericals he can do. 30-40 thousand churches planted by him. Over 100,000 people bapitiesed.

She may not have a great handle on spelling, but she can write a story! She wrote this one when she got up this morning before she got on the bus. Kt told me she read the whole story to her class but not the God parts. Too bad!!

Tonight, Kt read this to Em and I and then gave us a quiz!! She also had planned an activity where we had to list and find 5 green items. Then, after that, she wanted us to think of a Bible story that illustrated St. Patrick's life so she could read it to us. We finally decided on Joseph and we read about half the story. Do we have a future teacher here or what?

I'm constantly amazed by how hungry my kids are for spiritual truth and great stories of faith. It was a fun night I spent with the girls while dad was out at the Warehouse coffee house - too bad he missed ours!!
