David and Goliath

I thought I'd take a quick minute to share with you some of the small things we do in my classroom day in and day out. In Bible we started the year out in Genesis going from Adam and Eve to Abraham to Joseph to Moses to Joshua through Judges and we are now in 1 Samuel. Today we learned about David and Goliath. A story that is so well-known that I feel like it often looses its weight. SO in an attempt to show my kids how HUGE Goliath really was we measured how tall he was (around 9 feet) and made our own Goliath. You can see it's pretty overwhelming when you give it a new perspective. I think it does a good job of showing that God really did use a young shepherd to defeat and kill, a massive giant who had been mocking His glorious name for forty days straight!
