End of Unit 2 Celebration!

On December 11, 2012, Tapestry of the Desert had it's end of Unit 2 celebration at Arizona Community Church. The kids first recited their memory work for the Unit. All three history classes memorized the Luke 2 1-7, the verses that describe the birth of Jesus. The Five in a Row class sang parts of the song "Go Tell it on the Mountain". Both classes did an amazing job--they do so well with such challenging memory work assignments! Afterwards, it was time for the Lower Grammar and Upper Grammar class to perform the play, "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens. The kids each had a part and they all did a fantastic job. They really enjoyed getting into the parts, rehearsing and performing. Finally, it was time for the kids to show off their work from the first two units of co-op and enjoy some yummy treats and a time of fellowship with each other. Merry Christmas, and may God bless us, everyone!

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!
