End of Unit 4/End of Year Celebration!

A great year like the one we had deserves to be celebrated! We gathered together on the night of May 12 to do just that! The kids had a chance to share all of the work they had done through out the second half of the co-op year, the classes marveled everyone with their memory work for the quarter and we celebrated two junior high school graduates . . . Daniel Keller and Cameron Roberts. What a great night. What a great year!

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!
