HISTORY
Started learning about Mummies this week, which made the kids very excited. Found a Mummy book at one of the museums we went to when we were in Washington D.C.. This book is amazing and explains step by step how they mummified the body and what each items means. Also got to use our mummy figures, something my mom found at a thrift store.
Learned about the farmers of the Nile Valley and the fertile Nile River.
After reading about the shofar the kids blew the shofars. We borrowed these from my mom.

After reading about Boats and Chariots we tried our hand at making a reed boat. It may not look like much but it was fun building the boat with the kids.

After their dad read them "Leaf Man" the kids made their own leaf figures.
D made an octopus with only 4 legs because he was born with 6 and lost 2 legs in an accident saving people. K made a hummingbird fly fast through the sky.

SCIENCE
After reading about pyramids K built her own with some magnetic blocks.
D even enjoyed making his own pyramids and even made a hat and a pet one.
This week D is learning about leaves, brought out our leaf lapbook to talk about the parts of leaf.
Kids bean plants have grown so much, its time to plant them in pot.
Leaf rubbing and giving a lesson on how we are like the branches (leaves) and God is the gardener. He takes care of the plant just like he takes care of us. While telling this lesson to the kids I had to hold back my tears. It really got to my heart, it was God's way of telling me He had everything under control. Love this curriculum and the many ways it not only blessed my kids but has given me a desire to get closer to God.
After observing his bean's growth he observed our "Life Cycle of the Bean Plant".
Observing our old leaf collection, he is excited that we are going to be updating it and go collect some new leaves to do a leaf book.
Leaf experiment: went outside and placed a ziplock bag around some leaves, fastened the bag. Came back after a few hours to check on the bag. The kids quickly noticed some water droplets in the bag. Talked about what this happens: because trees lose water through their leaves.
Observed several plants and leaves while we went to the museum with the family.
MUSIC/VIDEOS
Watched a show on Netflix "The Who Was Show?" about King Tut.
Checked out a few videos on Egypt from the library.
