Mangrove Metaphors Lesson & Devotional
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are excited to share this week’s faith-based learning experience with your child! Our lesson, “Rooted in Faith: Lessons from the Mangroves,” blends science, language arts, and biblical principles to explore God’s creation.
What We Are Learning:
Your child will learn about the three types of mangroves—Red, Black, and White—and their unique roles in coastal ecosystems. Using this knowledge, they will:
Write an essay using strong structure and supporting details.
Analyze Bible verses that relate to strength, growth, and faith.
Engage in creative activities that connect science, scripture, and real-world applications.
Faith Connection:
Mangroves are a beautiful example of how God’s design helps sustain life. Just as these trees stay rooted in difficult environments, we, too, are called to be rooted in Christ (Colossians 2:7). Through this lesson, your child will reflect on how faith provides stability, strength, and protection—just as mangroves protect the coastline.
How You Can Support Learning at Home:
Family Devotional: Read Psalm 1:3 together and discuss how faith helps us grow strong like a tree planted by the water.
Encourage Writing: Ask your child to summarize what they learned about mangroves and how it relates to their faith.
Explore Nature: If possible, visit a local park or coastal area to observe trees and discuss their importance in God’s creation.
We hope this lesson will inspire your child to grow in both knowledge and faith. If you have any questions or would like additional resources, please feel free to reach out.
Blessings,
Crystal Vazquez
