Lesson Plan for Grade 6C – Mrs. Gagnon
Wednesday, March 18, 2020
Terms to know this week:
Obligations - duties we have because we have agreed to them.
Principles - truths we believe in strongly enough to act on them. They help us to decide how to act in different situations.
Conscience - the ability to judge how good or bad an act is. Sometimes called the little voice in your head or the angel on your shoulder.
This week’s bible story and lesson comes from the book of Numbers, Chapters 13-14. It is the story of Joshua and Caleb, Moses, and the Israelites entering the land of Canaan after traveling. Please watch the story here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2iYUPs7c-U
Joshua and Caleb (If the link doesn’t work, search for Joshua and Caleb by Felix Foo on YouTube). The video is 3 ½ minutes long.
As a family, discuss what happens in the video. If you have a family bible handy, you may read the story at Numbers 13, 14:1-38.
Then watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nUTugHm2_qI. This is the story of Moses getting water from a rock (Numbers 20:1-13). Notice the people complaining to Moses and his reaction. Moses was angry. Moses forgot that it was God who provides, which is perhaps why he has to strike the rock twice.
What was God’s response? (The water flowed, but Moses, Aaron, and the Israelites were banned from the chosen land.)
We have to trust God. We also must accept the consequences of our actions and our decisions. The Israelites did not trust God and were punished by wandering for 40 more years. Moses did not trust God, either, and was similarly punished. He never did enter the Promised Land.
Matthew 5:3-12 says
- How blessed are the poor in spirit: the kingdom of Heaven is theirs. 4 Blessed are the gentle: they shall have the earth as inheritance.
- Blessed are those who mourn: they shall be comforted.
- Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for uprightness: they shall have their fill.
- Blessed are the merciful: they shall have mercy shown them.
- Blessed are the pure in heart: they shall see God.
- Blessed are those who are persecuted in the cause of uprightness: the kingdom of Heaven is theirs.
- Blessed are you when people abuse you and persecute you and speak all kinds of calumny against you falsely on my account.
they persecuted the prophets before you.
These Beatitudes help guide us to do what is right and make wise decisions. Our book states, ”The Beatitudes give us choices that help us learn to love God above all else. We are free to make choices that lead us either to God or away from him.” (Christ Our Life, 2009) There two terms to know this week
