This week, our history studies took a turn back in time. We have completed a three week mini-unit on Ancient Egypt, the life of Moses and the Exodus. Now we are studying the history that Moses recorded while in the wilderness--the history of creation, the fall of man and God's plan of redemption through Noah. The Upper Grammar Class read a book together on the true story of Noah's Ark. They learned how massive the ark was--and how it could REALLY hold all those animals and could stand up against the torrential rains and floods. They then made and laminated bookmarks with facts about the Ark. The Lower Grammar boys were busy learning about Noah and the ark as well. They made awesome ark and rainbow crafts. Downstairs, the little ones read the book, "Owl Moon." It's the story of a girl and her father who go looking for owls on a moonlit winter night near the farm where they live. Afterwards, the kids made adorable stuffed owls out of newspaper and paper plates!
