Tapestry of Grace-week 7

I had good intentions (really, I did) of blogging every week with TOG as a record of our work, but the road to you-know-where is paved with good intentions. We are loving Tapestry of Grace! This week one of the main focus points was on the Tabernacle.

History/Bible Literature Reading:

The book of Exodus

Annsley is really enjoying reading Wonders and Miracles. It is a beautiful book about Jewish holidays. We got it from the library, but it is one I think I would like to own. Seth, on the other hand, is not enjoying Tirzah that much. He was not happy from the start when he saw a girl on the front cover. It is only week one of three on this book.

Writing:

This week in writing the kids completed the reports on Daily Life in Ancient Mesopotamia. We also wrote a paragraph on the outer courtyard of the Tabernacle. I'll post those when we get them typed up.

Fine Arts:

We finished the weaving projects from last week, using the colors that were used in the tapestries of the tabernacle. The kids made a tent and slept in that as if they were camped around the tabernacle. They decided to be from the tribe of Judah because they were close to the front and in the line of Christ.

Tonight we went to a Shabbat service at our local Jewish synnagogue. It was very interesting and the Torah reading went along just perfectly with what we have been studying.
