A few of this year's homeschool projects!

The kids are doing so many fun projects, it's tough to document them all. But, here's a few things they've produced, to give you a sense of what they've been up to.

This is a painted salt map of the Lower Nile, at the delta.  Note the Pyramids near the shore of the Mediterranean.

At the end of Unit 1, "The Ancient World," we had a unit-appropriate feast.  The kids dressed up as Israelites (see these photos above).  Kim made lamb and lentil stew, the kids helped her make challah bread, and we had red wine (the kids had sparkling juice).

This is Abby's recreation of the tabernacle of the LORD, carried by the Israelites as they moved through the desert on their way to Canaan.  Abby did it all by hand, from the roofing to the cherubim to the fence...

Note the brazen altar and the laver.  She made them and painted them by hand.
