BIBLE: Lamentations

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful and restful break!

Before break, we learned about the fall of Jerusalem, this week will begin by studying the book "Lamentations" which is believed to have been written by the prophet Jeremiah. As hard as he tried, Jeremiah could not get the people to listen to his warnings, the city falls and goes into Babylonian captivity and the book of "Lamentations" tells of the misery of the people and the city. 

Monday, we will read from our reading cards "Jeremiah Laments Jerusalem" and complete the worksheet that goes along with it.

Tuesday, we will pull out our Bibles and read the book of Lamentations and discuss as a class.
Using the worksheet: Jeremiah Laments Jerusalem: Project 1-Bible Reading
We will take the words on the worksheet and find phrases in the scripture that the word describes.

Wednesday, using the name JEREMIAH, we will create our own acrostic poems about Lamentations.

Thursday, review for our test of Jeremiah Laments Jerusalem coming up on Friday.
