She's just growing up right before my eyes!!
We started school again, yesterday. We're using My Father's World again
this year, and are loving it so far! Macie has been so excited to do
her work the past two mornings, and was sad when I reminded her that we
don't do school on Saturdays!
I made this board for our daily calendar, math, and bible memory time. I also added a clock, weather chart, and our address and phone number for memorization. I think this is her favorite part so far!
Today, we made clay pots like the ones that scrolls would have been stored in. Our curriculum is covering Bible history this year, and we're learning about how the Bible (and all other writings) were written on scrolls. She'll be making an alphabet scroll to start out this year.
Both girls really liked playing with the clay. We used the simple salt dough recipe provided in our teachers manual. Our clay pots are waiting now to dry, and then we'll paint them, just for fun!
Salt Dough
1/2 cup corn starch
1/2 cup salt
3/4 cup flour
slowly add in 1/2 cup * of water until clay is easily kneaded without being too tacky
you can also add food coloring for an earthy color
*I needed to add a little more than that to get mine to stay together....just add it slowly, as needed.
