BIBLE: Esther and Ezra

This week we will be finishing our lesson on Esther, then move on to Ezra.

Monday, we will do some questions based on our Bible readings, then do some Biblical art analysis. Using Rembrandt's "Haman and Ahasuerus at the Banquet with Esther" we will see how this artist truly highlighted how God used Esther to save His people. How did Rembrandt use light in this painting? What does Ahasuerus hold that was mentioned in our earlier lessons about this story? Can you tell what point in the story this painting is about? We'll discuss all this in class together!

Tuesday, we will review all our material over these lesson of Esther and have a test on Wednesday.

Wednesday, the Archbishop of Tanzania will be visiting us during our Chapel time. So we will probably just take our test when we return to class. No History lesson this day, unless time allows.

Thursday, using our reading cards, we will read about "Ezra returns to Judah" and complete the worksheet that goes along with it.

Friday, after we read Ezra 7 from our Bibles, we will pick out parts of sentences from our scripture and complete the Project 1 worksheet.
