OK, I know it is ridiculous to be so tired so early into the school year, but this week really wore me out! Part of it is because I think I may have overscheduled myself. (OK, I know I have.) You remember that old commercial where the guy is at his desk saying, “I can…
Weaving
My 8 year old daughter completed weaving a small doll blanket using a 14 inch cardboard square for a loom. We made the loom by making a small mark every 1/4 inch along 2 opposite sides of the cardboard. Then I cut a 3/4 inch slit with scissors to line up with each mark. Here’s…
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…

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…
World War I Lapbook
We completed the World War I lapbook from Hands of a Child on Friday. I appreciated having their resource guide. I basically used their guide to teach the material. We listened to Story of the World, watched Sergeant York, and read a few supplementary books as well. This was the first HOAC lapbook that we…

David Livingstone Lapbooks
Here are pictures from my 9 yo son’s and 7 yo daughter’s lapbooks. We used a couple of books from Hands of a Child’s Missionary Pack and then pulled in a few things about the Kalahari Dessert. Overall I am really pleased with them. The perfectionist in me thinks they should have done some things…
