Creation Claymation

This year for school I opted NOT to use our Jesus Calling Devotion for Children (we had used it for 2 years and it was getting "stale" for the kids)...instead I found this great site called Calvary Curriculum and we are starting with Genesis and going thru the Bible this year! 

This week we will discuss Creation - have art based around it, crafts, music, guessing games, reading, coloring, word searches and more! 

Today - we talked about the first 7 days of creation and then had some worksheet. Our art project was to create the 7 days of creations that God created using Clay.  They did great!













In addition to our Bible Studies - it was Math, Reading, Spelling and we are trying hard to get out each morning and walk or ride bikes BEFORE we start our lessons.  




Day 1 - success!

We also finally made it back to the Farmer's Market for our fresh chocolate milk and veggies!  Looking forward to Friday when we have our traditional back to school Chuck E Cheese fun! 

Until tomorrow - BE BLESSED!

Thank you so much for sharing this website. I will for sure look into it this week. I love JC by Sarah Young, but having Biblical Facts stored in our kiddos minds is so very important. Keep it up Mel, your kids will thank you later for ALL you do for them.

Ohhh fresh chocolate milk and fresh veggies! I have to put going to our local farmers market back on my to do list. Your playdough creations are SO cute! As I have told you many many times before over the past few years I want to go to your school! Your children are always having such a great time being creative. Love it!

National Chocolate Chip Day

May 15, 2012 is National Chocolate Chip Day Today is National Chocolate Chip Day! Chocolate chips are an essential ingredient in dozens of delicious baked goods—chocolate chip cookies, chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip brownies, chocolate chip bagels, and many more. You can even find chili recipes that call for these sweet morsels! In the 1930s, Ruth Graves Wakefield created the original chocolate chip cookie at her Toll House Inn in Whitman, Massachusetts. Ruth intended to bake chocolate cookies for her guests, but she ran out of baker’s chocolate. She substituted with chopped up semi-sweet chocolate morsels and discovered that the pieces did not melt into the dough as she expected. Her cookies were an instant hit. Today, 25% of all the cookies baked in the United States are chocolate chip! To celebrate National Chocolate Chip Day, pick up a bag of chocolate chips at the supermarket and bake something yummy to share with friends and cowor
