The Cover Is Not the Book

 "The cover is not the book, so open it up and take a look

 'Cause under the cover, one discovers that the king may be a crook.

Chapter titles are like signs, and if you read between the lines,

You'll find your first impression was mistook.

The cover is nice, but the cover is not the book."

We've been watching the new Mary Poppins movie, and this song from the movie reminds us of  the importance of not leaning on first impressions or judging by appearances. The students are learning to read, and once they're reading independently, they'll be able to investigate, find information, and make evaluations. Most important, they'll be able to read the Bible for themselves and discover for themselves the greatness of the love God has lavished on us.

" I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,  so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,  may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,  and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." Ephesians 3:17-19 (NIV)

 

And speaking of investigating....here are some pictures of our science lab investigations.

This week the students learned about matter.

Heat causes solids to change to liquid.

A solid (baking soda) and a liquid (vinegar) combine to form a gas.

And just for fun....
