The Duke and the 12 Apostles

That's what our lessons are centering around these days. I checked out a book on Duke Ellington from the library and we read it this week. Then we have been listening to the Duke during breakfast and dinner. The girls love it! I heard Hannah tell her sister she loved Jazz music today while they were playing dance class. I even found a Duke Ellington coloring page.

We are also focusing on learning all twelve apostles' names. I found a song to the tune of Jesus Loves Me that teaches the names of the apostles. Here it is:

Jesus called them one by one

Peter, Andrew, James and John

Next came Philip, Thomas too

Matthew and Bartholomew

James the one they called the less

Simon, also Thaddeus

The twelfth apostle Judas made

Jesus was by him betrayed

Yes, Jesus called them

Yes, Jesus called them

Yes, Jesus called them

And they all followed him

Then we are learning Matthew 28:19-20a. "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." And, of course, I found a coloring page of the 12 apostles as well.

We still haven't gotten around to the mosaic craft, but, hopefully, we will have time on Saturday if not sooner!
