MMM...Monday Motivational Mocha #2

M.M.M.  :  MondayMotivationalMocha is simply something 'syrupy sweet' you can do with your children/students.  Have a great month with your home school and add the MMM if you have time.

 

MMM Activity - Nature Walk:  Take a Nature Walk! Spend some time marveling at God's handiwork. 

 

Genesis 1:1 In the beginning GOD CREATED the heavens and the earth.

 

Now Choose :  Decaf or Regular

 

MMM Decaf -

Take a walk in your neighborhood, park or nature trail.  Take time to 'smell the roses'.  Look for signs of spring - sights, sounds and smells.

 

Discuss these questions : 

What was the most interesting/beautiful/wild thing you saw on your walk?

What things did you see that will be different/gone by the end of summer?

Do you think we enjoy God's creation as much as He enjoyed creating it?

 

MMM Regular  - Start with decaf and then take it to the limit!!

 

Complete the activities & discussion questions above, then choose 1, 2 , 4 (or more) of the following :

 

1.  Read about CREATION - Genesis Chapter 1&2 (you could take a break during your walk to do this) 

2.  Search the Bible for more verses about creation/nature.

3.  Collect 1 or 2 nature items on your walk to identify later. (you could use these items in a craft project)  - Email me if you need any ideas...I don't want to bore everyone with my 'crafty' rambling.

4.  Take pictures of your favorite objects in nature.  Write a poem, song or acrostic to go with your favorite photo.

5.  Plant something.  Take pictures 1 time a week/month to see the progress.

6.  Take a field trip to a nature center.

7.  Research  :  What does it mean to 'have a green thumb'?  Where did that phrase come from?

8.  Serve/Volunteer  :  Help a neighbor/local church weed their flowerbeds. 

 

Teachers (Moms)  -  If you've never read A Pocketful of Pinecones by Karen Andreola, I highly recommend it.  Enjoy His Creation (including your kids).

 

Let your creative juices (coffee, of course) flow!

 

Blessings to you & yours -
