WEEK 2 of The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe 2025

 

 I LOVE this quote in the book.

 To me, the "untamed" lion represents the holiness of God and his hatred of sin, his majesty, his immense glory in which we would not even be able to stand if we were in his presence.

His GOODNESS is represented through his display of humility, servanthood, sacrifice, unconditional love, forgiveness, and his plan for our salvation through INCARNATION!!! This. Is. Mind-blowing.

Jesus is so, so good. 

On Monday, Aslan came to our classroom. It was so wonderful to finally meet the King of the whole wood, the Emperor Over the Sea, the rightful true King over all of Narnia.

There are no pictures of Tuesday's reading...it was THE MOST IMPORTANT day, and I'm so very thankful that all 23 of our students were present. 

I don't think there was a dry eye in the room when we realized what Aslan did for Edmund! 

I hope you had the chance to read "The Gospel According to Narnia", detailing the connections between the novel and the Bible. 

I would love to hear from you regarding your thoughts on this beautiful novel, and what your kids have been learning.

On Tuesday night, we had our wonderful Christmas concert. They looked so cute that I had to take more pictures!!

Now, returning to The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe...

Because Aslan came to Narnia, the "thaw" happened...the snow started to melt away, and signs of Spring were evident.

Wednesday's reading was another special day...this was the time when we got to make the connection between the chapter and the events of EASTER!!!

I wish I could have taken a video of the kids cheering and jumping for joy when Aslan came back to life! It was PURE JOY. I got chills as I was reading to them!!

This week, we did not have snacks and gifts to go along with each chapter, because the reading alone was a gift in itself. And the content did not disappoint! 

I do want to share with you some beautiful works of art by your children. Here are their drawings of Aslan, the fiercely strong and fiercely loving lion:

“But what does it all mean?” asked Susan when they were somewhat calmer.

“It means,” said Aslan, “that though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back, into the stillness and the darkness before Time dawned, she would have read there a different incantation.  

She would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.”
