 We are adding Considering God’s Creation to our Science studies this year. 

This program has a great selection of science topics using a hands-on lapbook approach my kids LOVE !  We do science twice a week.

We are using MFW Creation to the Greeks as our co-op’s core curriculum.  We have selected Homeschool in the Woods Composer studies and Harmony Art Mom ~ Ancient Art and Composer studies to our lessons this year.  Plus we have added two more families to our group.  There are now 14 school age students and 5 preK kids!  It’s going to be a super busy and fun school year!

This week we celebrated the Sabbath meal

The co-op kids designed a challah covering and a floating candle for their feast.  I stitched a fabric piece about 10”x10” for each of the kids.  They used embellishments, fabric, ribbon, felt, fabric markers and glitter to decorate their covering.  Each family made Challah bread in advance to share during our feast.

Each of our families brought a piece of the Sabbath meal to co-op.

The kids shared the meaning of each food item in the Sabbath meal amongst the group!

  1. Looks like a lot of fun and brings back memories of our time with Creation to Greeks. We still observe many of our learnings from our CtG year!

  2. Our school is The Arrows Academy too :) As a first time MFW user, I've really enjoyed looking over your highlights from ECC. Your CTG will whet my appetite for more, I'm sure!

  4. For years I have been meaning to add the Feasts and Festivals to our history studies, but I never seemed to fit it in. I love that MFW does.
