History, Week One...

This week we worked on Lessons 1, 2, and 3 in Mystery of History.

Pretest

Lesson 1-Creation

-Read lesson

-L and K made creation booklets

-Will drew his own picture of it

-Watched "The Story of Creation" Beginners Bible video

-L and K made 7 circle 'flashcards', one for each day of creation.

Lesson 2-Adam and Eve (I thought it was interesting that they think that Adam lived about 900 years, which means he lived until Noah was alive(Adam was very old and about to die when Noah was just getting started). So that means that Adam could have passed along a lot of the cool stories about creation and the Garden of Eden to Noah, so that that info was preserved (in his mind) post-flood)

-Read lesson

-Watched the video again

-No activity, but should have let them make their own creation out of clay and name it.

Lesson 3-Jubal and Tubal-Cain (the point of these guys is to show that early people were not all dumb 'cavemen.' They were very intelligent, and these guys in particular were (Jubal) very talented musician who played the harp and flute and taught others to do the same, and (Tubal-Cain) was an iron and bronze maker and also taught others to do the same.)

-Read lesson

-Played 'name that tune' with the kazoo

Wrap-up and review

-Made notecards

-Wall of Fame-added 7 days of creation, Adam and Eve, and Jubal and Tubal-Cain.

-Map work-Found Iraq on the globe, where they think the Garden of Eden may have been (between the Tigris and Euphrates) and transferred several ancient cities onto our map of the Middle East.

And that wraps up week one!
