Week 2

Another fun week of school!
Gabriel finished up his Creation posters and we reviewed that as well as counting for the rest of the week.  Gabe is really excited about starting his letters and I ended up letting him color his first worksheet that he'll need for next week.

Another activity that Gabe enjoyed doing.

Matthew and Christopher continued to read through Genesis and had to color and draw pictures about the stories as well as write a summary of each.  Matthew gets a little carried away with his drawings.  They both decided to draw a volcano exploding in their pictures of the story of Cain and Abel for some reason.  Matthew's pages are here and Christopher's are below.


We are still doing some light experiments in science, including setting a glass next to a window to make a rainbow.  We watched a wonderful movie about Noah's Ark over the weekend that was great.  We borrowed it from Netflix and it's called, "The Incredible Discovery of Noah's Ark".  I highly recommend it.  Christopher was really into it and Matthew was at some points.

So we were supposed to celebrate the Sabbath over the weekend before we started week two, but I'm postponing it to a weekend where we don't have anything scheduled.  That sounds pretty bad, right?  I'd like to really get into it though.  We'll also be celebrating some of the other Jewish holidays that are coming up next month, so hopefully we'll get the the Sabbath celebration before then.
