Week 17

We have officially passed the half-way mark in our school year! We are currently studying Creation to the Greeks from My Father's World curriculum.. What a blessing this curriculum has been to us for the past three years! We have learned so much together, as a family, seeing how God's hand has moved throughout history. The first half of this year has taken us from Creation, the Flood, the dispersion at the Tower of Babel, God's calling of Abraham, the Exodus, and finally into the Promised Land. We've studied ancient Sumer, Babylon, and Egypt. Science has been based on the six days of Creation and pyramids. We've enjoyed celebrating a few Jewish feast days as well.

Our study of ancient Egypt has taken a few months and the kids were excited to celebrate with a grand finale! They made wigs and costumes, painted their eyes Egyptian style, and we ate an Egyptian meal of fish, pita bread, figs, grapes and nuts. It was a fun time!

Here are some pictures that highlight what our year has looked like so far.
