Instructions for Tabernacle Model
Here are the basic materials and methods we used to construct our tabernacle model. I wasn’t able to find any free instructions on-line. I have a friend who told me that they had made one last year and had used the lid of a copy paper box and old-fashioned clothespins. We started with that as our idea and…
Model Tabernacle
We have been learning about the tabernacle in our Tapestry of Grace studies. And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. (Ex. 25:8) We built a model tabernacle to reinforce our learning and I think this was our most fun project ever! Our model The altar and the laver And…
Shabbat Celebration
On Saturday we celebrated the Sabbath. We are in the middle of a 3 week study on the Israelites’ wanderings in the desert, the 10 Commandments, the tabernacle, and Jewish holidays. (Tapestry of Grace Year One – Weeks 7, 8, and 9) We used the book Walk with Y’shua through the Jewish Year as our guide. We decided to celebrate…
Tapestry of Grace Year 1 Weeks 5 and 6
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…
Creation Book Finished
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. ) By Kristen H.
Studying creation
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…
10 Plagues Book
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…
10 Plagues Booklet
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…
First Tapestry of Grace Co-op Meeting
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…
