  "lessonObjective": "On a virtual day, have students read Psalm 24 on their own, picture what it describes, and make something that shows what they saw in it.",

  "personalScriptureStudy": {
    "chapters": "Psalm 24",
    "questions": "Read verses 3–4 slowly. What is David asking, and how does he answer his own question? Then read verses 7–10 — who is coming in?"
  },

  "teacherNote": "VIRTUAL DAY — no class. Text or email the card image to every student the night before, and again at 6:30 AM. Psalm 24:3–4 is a DOCTRINAL MASTERY passage; remind them to mark it even though we are not together. What comes back is one image plus one sentence — that is the day's attendance and the day's journal entry. Expect wide variety: the hill, open gates, hands, a sunrise. Ask two or three students on Monday to show what they made and read their sentence; that is the bridge into Psalm 51.",
