We have had a fairly busy 2 weeks with our Tapestry of Grace (TOG) studies. The topic of Week 5 is the Tower of Babel and Mesopotamia. Week 6 focuses on the stories of the Patriarchs. We were assigned chapters 12-50 in Genesis in one week! Thankfully, we have the whole Bible on CD which …
My son finished his creation book today. Once again, he really got into this assignment and enjoyed doing it. He even wrote a page on why the days were literal 24 hour days without me asking him to. (It’s not in the pictures though. )
We completed Week 4 of Year 1 of Tapestry of Grace (TOG). This week we studied creation from Genesis Chapters 1-10 which include Creation, the Fall, and the Flood. I am really enjoying TOG and so are my children. My oldest son even said he liked it! (Last year he told me that he …
My son completed his 10 plagues book yesterday. He did a really good job on it. It took him forever and it about drove me crazy, but I was mostly successful at holding my tongue and letting him work at his own pace. That is a huge accomplishment for me. The pictures are hand-drawn, then scanned …
We have completed, well almost, week 3 of TOG Year 1. Rather than focus on Egyptian gods, we focused on the 10 plagues and passover. I assigned both of my bigger kids to make a booklet about the 10 plagues. My daughter chose to make a fan book. It’s a little difficult to see, but …
Yesterday we had our first Tapestry of Grace (TOG) co-op meeting. We went over weeks 1 and 2 of Year 1 Unit 1 which is Egypt. The day went extremely well considering all of us are new to TOG and co-ops of this kind. We started off with salt dough maps of either Egypt or …
My family loves games. I mean all of us, really love games. If you want to see how much we love games, take a peek into our game cabinet. (It’s not as neat as I would like it to be but…) We have a family game night once a week. (Usually) So why have I …
We decided several months ago to use Tapestry of Grace Year 1 next year. I am very excited about it. I am going to be involved in a small co-op (5 families) meeting every other week. We’ve never been in a co-op before so it will be a new experience for us. The kids are …
I was so excited Monday morning when I heard a flapping outside my boy’s window. I opened the shade to see… Here is the male bring more nesting material. Home sweet home. Then Monday night. Here is Mama Tuesday. On Wednesday evening, I got a peek in the nest and there are …
We took our first trip to the Creation Museum on Thursday. We had been looking forward to it since we heard they were building it. It was not a disappointment. The museum was very well done. The exhibits were beautiful. It was wonderful to visit a place that is dedicated to refuting evolution. They presented so …
