End of Unit Celebration: March 28, 2010

On Sunday, March 28, the seven families of the Tapestry of the Desert Co-op gathered for the End of Unit Celebration for Year 4, Unit 3. We had an ice cream social at the Keller's house. The kids enjoyed creating some delicious, sweet treats. Then the older kids wowed the crowd by reciting a large portion of Martin Luther King's "I Have A Dream" speech followed by the littler kids, who did an amazing job memorizing the poem "The Goops". Afterwards, we had a time of group praise and worship led by Mrs. Reynolds. Finally, each family had a table set up to highlight the work they had done that unit. Everyone was able to take a "tour" of the tables and the kids were delighted to be able to share what they have accomplished and created. Way to go, everybody!!

Tapestry of the Desert

We are a group of thirteen Christian families, committed to learning and growing in our Lord, Jesus Christ. First and foremost, we have chosen to homeschool our children to give our them an education that focuses on the holiness, glory and majesty of our creator. And, secondarily, to build strong families, strong character and strong communities; all for the glory of God!

Our name "Tapestry of the Desert", beautifully describes who we are! Each family in this co-op uses a multi-disciplinary curriculum called "Tapestry of Grace." Tapestry of Grace is primarily a history curriculum, but integrates literature, writing, art, humanities and worldview studies into a single curriculum that can be used for all school-aged children. And of course, the "Desert" part of our name describes where we live! We are all priveleged to call Arizona home, and love the beauty and splendor of the desert southwest! Everywhere we look we see God's handiwork: the mountains around us, saguaros standing tall and His handpainted sunsets each night.

Tapestry of the Desert does not exist to teach history to our children. Rather, this co-op is designed to enhance the lessons taught at home with supplemental activities relating to each lesson. Our children look forward to Thursday afternoons! They love the crafts and creations, sharing the work they have done and most of all they love the fellowship time with dear friends! Our families love being together and it is our prayer that God will keep us knitted together in the journey of teaching our precious children for years to come!
