Project: Make a compass.
Activity: Locate a buried treasure by using written and cardinal directions.
Result: One person out of six found the treasure. However, the girls’ treasure seems to have disappeared before they began!
Aaron, Bethany, and I arrived at school early. While Aaron made copies for me, Bethany and I walked out the treasure route; dug two holes and buried 4 wrapped candy bars in each (one for boys, another for girls). The girls never found their treasure. It was even marked with a stone on top. I couldn’t find it. David Rock and I went out looking for it after Astronomy and he couldn’t find it. No one found it. It’s still there, someone stole it, or an alien spaceship beamed it up.
The three boys had four candy bars in their treasure hole. I put the extra one in my pocket and we went back to class. When we got there, I pulled it out and Carly saw it was broken and dirty. I got two other candy bars from my box, making three for all three girls. I held them in my hand. Carly was the first to come up and get one. She took the broken one on purpose! It warmed my heart and made me feel so proud of her, and proud of God who encourages people to deny themselves and consider others.
“Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.” Philippians 2:5 – 7
Carly – thanks for obeying the scriptures.
