Israel

One of my favorite things about the history curriculum we're using is that it includes a lot of information about Israel's history.  Of course, we know a lot of the stories from church, but it's fun to get a little more detail, and to do more hands-on learning.

For example, the kids created bricks and built structures out of play dough as part of the lesson about the Israelites in slavery in Egypt.

They built the Ark of the Covenant out of Legos.

Everyone's favorite was a traditional Jewish feast.

We had flat bread, grapes, cheese, dates, and more.  These are some of our favorite foods, as it turns out.  And what kid doesn't like eating on the floor!
