This week was our third and final week studying the wonders and marvels of Ancient Egypt. Both upper and lower grammar students learned in their reading about the religion and mythology of the Egyptians. While the Egyptian stories we read are amusing, it really should bring us somber thankfulness to God for His revelation to us in His word-the Bible, which is truth. In co-op both Tapestry classes made beautiful, Egyptian-style jewelry. The Upper Grammar students made linked bracelets out of straws which were spray painted gold. While the Lower Grammar boys made embossed cuffs--using puffy paint for texture and gold spray paint to give them an authentic look. Downstairs, the Five in a Row class was busy reading the book "Yellow Ball". This story follows a yellow ball that is forgotten at the water's edge and is pulled into the ocean by the tide and is eventually washed up on another shore. The kids did some neat activities--learning about circles and the color yellow--including lovely water color paintings of the yellow ball at the shore.
