In School Today: The Ovambo
Malachi's missions project:
Did you know that seals live off the coast of Namibia because the cold water coming from Antarctica makes the water there cold too?

Laboring over telling time to 5-minute intervals...that sure is confusing!
Reading- Silent E words today!
Excited about new math facts!

Cake-Day for Karis
Karis turned five this week and we had her "cake-day" this afternoon. Pre-party, we had a plain white cake with purple and pink fondant:
Birthday girl and guests hard at work:
Adding the final touch:
Viola!
Making a wish:
Yummy, Yummy!

Who am I?
No, I'm not a Cardinals baseball player.
No, I'm not Batman.
No, I'm not a pirate or a knight.
I'm Darth Vader!

End of Unit 1 Catch-Up
Well, despite the lack of posts, school has been in session. We just finished our first unit of study! Here are some pictures from the past 2 months that will give you some idea of what we have been up to.
Egyptian painters of tomb walls:
Constructing a pint-sized Ziggurat:
The Fertile Crescent:
The Epic of Gilgamesh:
Trying our hand at Cuneiform:
Working together to weave the rope into our "traveling table"- similar to one Abraham may have used:
When the meal is finished, just pull the drawstring up around all the dinnerware:
Those crazy Israelites and their golden calf:
God taught those crazies how to live and worship him:
I admit, this looks an awful lot like we started a culinary school here at the Wilson home; but use your imagination to see that this is a very jubilant Aaron, the High Priest of Israel.
Too bad this playdoh-dude has no bones because now we know how important they are and what they do for us!
This puzzle was quite a challenge for us, but we did it! Though Mr. Bones can't take any credit for it, Malachi just had to have him in the picture- scary skeletons are right up his alley.
In learning about some of the holidays and festivals God told the Hebrew people to celebrate so as to never forget what He has done, we tried our hand at Challah bread:
We made more than one mistake, including leaving it in the oven too long.
Flitting like birds to Vivaldi's concerto "Spring":
Mini-Giotto's at work making their own paint out of chalk and egg yolk:
One of Malachi's many different reading positions (whatever works, right?)
Karis and Asher find all sorts of creative things to do (a.k.a messes to make) while mommy is busy working with Malachi:
Today, as an end of the unit celebration, we had some buddies over to play and ate lunch on our table. It was also a perfect excuse to pull the toilet paper out and make ourselves into mummies once again.
Looking forward to learning about Ancient China, the Ancient Indus Valley, and Ancient Americas!
