Celebrated the Sabbath and made a Challah bread (for the first time).  Gotta say it was a fun process, found a video on YouTube that showed me how to braid it using 6 strands, got the recipe from Barbara Bakes website.  I forgot to take a picture of the table set up with the bread in the middle, candles, and grape juice.  Everyone loved the bread and requested for me to make more.

SCIENCE 


This week D learned about volcanoes, got out our poster the kids put together for a Science Fair on Volcanoes.  Went great with this week's lesson.

Observed some of D's old chest x-rays of when he had asthma (God healed his body and now his lungs are working at 100%).  Kept the x-rays as a testimony of what God has done for him.  Then we built the breathing model to show us step by step of how our lungs get air and how it works.
