Pirate Unit

Our Pirate Unit is beginning.  I'm excited for Micah on this one.  Boys like pirates!  He got a really cool pirate book for his birthday and it will be perfect to read this month.  It's called 100 Facts on Pirates by Miles Kelly.
We'll learn some general information about pirates, past and present.  We'll learn about what their focus was in life and how they obtained those goals.  We'll integrate maps and map skills using treasure maps.
Our verses are: captive-related (since pirates take people captive)

  • Isaiah 61:1 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me, because the Lord has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.  He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners.
  • Acts 8:23 For I see that you are full of bitterness and captive to sin.
  • 2 Corinthians 2:14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ's triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of Him everywhere.
  • 2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
  • Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.
  • 2 Timothy 2:26 ... and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
