Bible and History:

This week’s Bible lesson was in Genesis 2 – 7.  We learned about Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, and Noah’s Ark.  The girls completed their timeline figures. 

I pulled together some memory verses for our school year.  I have the girls use them for their handwriting / illustration lessons.

Science:

We are reading through Dinosaurs of Eden

Dinosaurs of Eden: Tracing the Mystery Through History

Aunt Kattie is extending the lesson by having the girls complete a research project on dinosaurs.  We are making dinosaur eggs with Paper Mache. Soon our ‘baby dinosaurs’ will hatch after the kids go on their ‘hunt’ !

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.
