History, Week Seven...

Week 7's topics included:
1. Moses and the Exodus
2. The Ark of the Covenant and the Tabernacle
3. Joshua, Jericho, and Rahab

Pretest

Moses and the Exodus-read the lesson/story and watched Prince of Egypt movie. We went into detail about the plagues and L/K drew pictures of each one.

They are kind of blurry (if I wasn't so lazy I would scan them instead of pictures)--turning water into blood, frogs, lice, flies, dead livestock, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, killing of firstborn son...


K's...

L's...

The Ark of the Covenant and the Tabernacle-read the lesson, went into detail about the Ten Commandments and L/K wrote them down on paper for their notebooks. A nearby church had set up a life size Tabernacle for about a week and I wanted to take them to tour that but never got to--and I wasn't real excited about having to take Will and the twins on that tour too.

I would have liked to go into more detail about the Tabernacle, but time didn't allow. And it would have been cool to set up a tent to do this lesson and sing hymns or something in it. Oh well.


Joshua, Jericho, and Rahab-read the lesson. Would have been cool to re-enact the story with a wall of blocks, marching, and trumpets and shouting, but we didn't do that either.


Memory cards and maps have been shafted. Poor things.

Post test

Timeline/Wall of Fame-

Joshua with bricks fallen at his feet, and Rahab with a red rope (yarn)...

What we have so far...

That's all folks!
