Thoroughness
“Whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might.” – Ecclesiastes 9:10a
Definition: complete with regard to every detail; performed with great care and completeness
Reason Chosen: It is important to teach your kids to finish well. This involves working diligently until a task is completed all the way. This skill will help them in every aspect of life. Starting a project is only half the battle. Making sure it gets done, gets done right and has proper closure once completed is often harder than starting. Teach them to finish with all their might.
Word Ring At the beginning of each week, the craft will be exactly the same because we will simply be adding a new word to our already established word ring.
Materials Needed
* Stock Card Paper (I had a whole stack like this – found at any craft store)
* Assorted Sticker Letters (I just bought a bunch on clearance at Michael’s)
* Binder Clips (Craft Store)
* Paper Cutter or Scissors
* Hole Punch
The girls chose a paper style they thought would look good with the letters they chose. We then helped them sound out “thoroughness.” They took turns finding the letters we needed and sticking them on the paper…they’re kids – the letters will not be stuck on perfect. I then cut the paper to the same size as the paper from last week. We punched a hole in the corner and stuck it on our binding clip. Each week, a new word will be added to the clip in similar fashion. I then wrote the Bible verse on the back. If your kids are older, have them do it themselves. We’ll spend this week learning the word, meaning and memorizing the scripture.
