This week, the Upper Grammar and Lower Grammar classes combined to learn about the Babylonians and the Babylonian conquest and deportation of the Southern Kingdom. They learned about the Godly men who were taken from Jerusalem when the Babylonians invaded. They worked in the Kings courts and stood up to the Kings when they asked them to disobey God's law. Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego and Daniel refused to worship anyone but the one true God and God protected them for their faithfulness. The kids learned about the city of Babylon and specifically the architecture of this ancient land. They worked hard to make replicas of the famous Ishtar Gate out of juice cartons and cereal boxes. Downstairs, the little ones read the story, The Snowy Day. It's the tale of a child who ventures out into the snow and has a great time exploring. The kids had a snow day of their own, making snowmen out of marshmallows, Oreos and frosting and then having an indoor snowball fight with marshmallows!
