The Imagination Station “Secret of the Princes Tomb” is set at the beginning of the Israelites Slavery in Egypt.
“Tirzah” follows a young Israelite during the Exodus from Egypt and is a great read!
“Hittite Warrior” is set during the times of the judges, we have not read this one yet.
I am going to be reading it to them during the summer most likely.
I liked the “Almighty Bible’s” version of Genesis so I bought their Exodus version after we finished Tirzah and had the boys read it as a review.
It has great illustrations and I like the fact that it has more of the bible verse telling the story instead of paraphrasing.
This is the inside of the “Action Bible” it is a great bible to give your kids an overview of the whole bible but I do not like how much “interpretation” is going on.
We worked in some straight bible reading also.
Science has taken a little bit of a back seat the past couple of months but we did try to study deserts a bit to get a feel for what it would have been like to travel through.
The Magic School Bus has a book and episode called “Gets All Dried Up” that explains deserts really well.
EcoMazes is a pretty interesting book.
I bought a Safari Toob from Hobby Lobby and let the boys set up a little diorama.
They got the idea from the Magic School Bus.
I actually waited to write this post so we could do this today.
I kept putting it off but writing a post about it pushed me to get it done.
I looked up the names of everything on the site for the Toob and had them label them.
It helped me to feel like they were actually learning something.
I do not know if they did or not but I feel better.
We have not done any of the projects in this book but they have some really cool ones!
I would not mind owning this one.
We are actually done in a way with school.
We finished Friday.
That said, we are doing Math all summer.
I have decided to take a break from math this week and start up again Monday.
Anyone else doing some school work this summer?
That way I do not feel all alone…
