Preparing Hearts for His Glory - Day 1

Today was Samuel's first day of Preparing Hearts for His Glory. We really enjoyed learning about spiritual warfare and the shield of faith. He is working on making a shield of faith and a coat of arms. When it is complete I will post a picture of it. We also learned about the Arctic Tundra today. Below you will find a picture of his tracing of the Arctic Tundra and his drawing of several things from Creation.
