Working through our Virtue Training Bible and our next characteristic is contentment. This virtue is one that I have personally been working on :) J loves her Virtue Training Bible, the only thing that we struggle with is lining up the tabs with the main card. So, ours doesn't look quite like the one you see.
We start our lesson on contentment by looking up the definition in her dictionary. She writes it under her contentment heading in her notebook.
J looks up several bible verses based on contentment and highlights them in her bible. For each verse, we place a sticky tab on the page so she can find them later.
We discuss ways we can be content and add them to her notebook.
Here is her notebook page (front) for contentment with the added tab. The mini book at the bottom contains more verses for the virtue contentment plus room to add her own verses that she likes. The back of the notebook contains the checklist and more room to write her favorite verse.
Here are her virtue ring cards. On the back are verses to practice all week.
Her craft for the week was to make a "Be Content" bracelet using pony and alphabet beads. She designed the bracelet herself.
Meaningful Mama (link below) had a game using this bracelet. If she noticed her children were being discontent, she would ask for the bracelet. It was a challenge to see who could keep the bracelet the longest. J and I didn't play this game but if I had Kaleb working through the curriculum as well, I might have. She just wore her bracelet all week to remind her of being content.
If you would like a copy of my contentment notebook pages, link below. I hope these will help you in your own character training. If you have any questions, please let me know. And I would love to hear from you if you are using these in your own training.
I think my favorite part of this curriculum is the fact that she is working through the bible, learning so many verses. It is definitely teaching her how to study the bible. I love that. See you soon.
