Holy Innocents

In our study about Christina Rossetti, we learned about her individual contribution to the art of poetry. I appreciate studying the individuality of different poets because I think so much of their uniqueness is seen in their written expression of thought.

We are working on memorizing portions of her poem, Holy Innocents, to be recited at our Principle Approach homeschool co-op (more posts on the co-op as soon as I can find my battery charger for my camera!).

While I have enjoyed reading poetry throughout my life, I do not recall learning many of the different things about poetry. In preparation for this lesson, we are to read pages 108-123 of The Noah Plan's Literature Guide. However, I chose to focus on pages 108-113, and page 123. I decided to pull out this information to teach with this lesson:

Is your heart yielded to God?

This week's literature lesson from The Noah Plan Kindergarten curriculum teaches on what it means to have a heart yielded to God. We also cover the individuality of King David, the author of  the Psalms. We talk about how King David had a heart yielded to God which gave him the ability to express praise and thanksgiving through his poetry.  It's pretty amazing to think of teaching this to a Kindergartner, huh? I'm so delighted to be giving our children this foundation at such an early age.

What is one way that you express praise and thanksgiving to God? I love to express them in many ways but especially through visual art.
