Hello friends and scattered family in Messiah!
Towards the end of our Hanukkah/winter break from work and school we took a FIELD TRIP to a Children's Museum (very interactive stations/centers for learning and play) The kids had a blast!! We do need to go back soon for a full day. This visit was only about 4 hours and it's just not enough time to see all the cool stuff and play till we drop. But we visited the: Dinosphere, upstairs over the dinosphere they have dinosaur pictures the kids can color and then scan and they become living cartoons on the wall for awhile. We visited the "Agriculture center" which teaches about: farming, the water cycle, (with a fun water table the kids can play at), diagnosing different diseases on crops, minerals, native animals to this state etc We also visited the Cultural exhibit where the country of focus for the moment is Greece. --And they visited the seasonal winter exhibit with lots of ice and snow related games. AND...drum roll..... everyone went down the 2 story winter slide you can see in the picture above and the carousel. Those are a must. However, it was an excellent way to ease back into learning time and close out our break!

This was just a fun little craft for Tabernacles/Sukkot. (not a school craft, a family activity) The children had fun creating their little "tabernacles" and helping to decorate our family/church one as well. "Leviticus 23 is about the Feast of Tabernacles.--a tabernacle is a temporary place to live. it is like a tent except it is made from wood or branches. ---the first and eighth day of this feast is a Sabbath" "Jesus (Yeshua) was born during this feast week. Jesus (Yeshua) celebrated the Feast of tabernacles, and Zechariah 14:16 says that someday, all nations will celebrate the feast!" Anyone new to the Feast of Tabernacles, also known as Sukkot. Here is a simple explanation of it; It's a rehearsal for a future event where Yeshua will Tabernacle with us again, which simply means be with us.
The tent idea is a reminder we are in temporary dwelling places until we get to be with Yah permanently in the New Jerusalem, that will come down to earth. It also symbolizes the time when the Israelites were able to escape their slavery from the Egyptians and had to live in tents for 40 years. Its also a metaphor of how we escape and come out of the things of this World! Coming out of the traditions and the ways of man and religion. We hence Cross Over or Pass Over from the things of this World into the things and Ways of YHWH! This is where the word Hebrew comes from, one who has passed or crossed over! A quick google search can give you all kinds of ideas for how to decorate your own Sukkah or purchase one for future celebration. The intent and motives of the heart are known by Yah and may He be with you. HalleluYah!! Do Bible things in Bible ways.... YHWH's ways. Follow the footsteps of the Master and KING. RELATED READING:

We recently went on a field trip to a local park that was hosting a Medieval Festival! This was used for historical education as a sort of "walk through live museum" so to speak.
The kids loved the activities and the shows ie: sword fights and such. BUT by far their favorite part was the opportunity with approval from me.... to participate in the: ax/knife throwing, and archery sessions. *with safety precautions of course* None the less it was a great time...and they are now interested in archery! It just so happens that a town about 20 minutes from us has an archery club. So this may be something we look into further. I always keep my eyes open for new events/activities on Facebook with local parks/recreation areas, and libraries for events like this. Next one I am looking into is an: International Festival in a few weeks. I'm not sure if we can make that one, but we may. If we do you know I'll save pictures to share! Living education is the best kind and it makes great memories~ and they got to see mom shoot some arrows, I hit the target board too.

Hello friends and scattered family in Messiah! Well, one of our boys is taking Zoology this yr and the other is taking "Adventures on Planet Earth," and last wk in "Adventures on Earth," we learned about the food chain.... and Zoology is right up this alley. So this field trip seemed quite fitting. The Exotic Feline Rescue Center has rescued large cats from various unfortunate situations. Their individual stories can be read in the link above. The way the center is set up you can get very close to these majestic creatures. However, obviously; no touching, reaching, taunting or loud noises that may agitate them. There are tours at specific set times. We happened to go to the 1st one at 10 am. In which, the 2 male lions, were definitely vocal upon waking up. They took turns roaring back and forth. The tour guide said that a lion roar can be heard up to 5 miles away... I wonder if any nearby neighbors have become used to it. Although the center is on some 285 acres so they have plenty of land and isolation. However, the part accessible to tours is not nearly as large so don't expect a huge expanse on the tour. This was our 1st field trip of the year and the kids loved it! They enjoyed being so close to these beautiful animals and learning of their stories and a bit about their natural habitats and general facts. Last yr for our daughter's Zoology Field Trip we visited: Newport Aquarium Field Trip - Pursuing the upward call of God in Messiah Yeshua- Phil 3:14 Each of the children is going to pick their favorite wild cat and create a tri-fold board presentation for that animal. So the learning continues! I will do a post to show those later after they are done. Enjoy the photos!

This was a recent craft we did that came from Masterbooks Adventures in the Physical World, level 2. But we just made it a fun learning experience and snack for everyone! The graham crackers are the "tectonic plates" the frosting/icing you use is the "asthenosphere" and you follow the directions and move the graham crackers around to illustrate to the kids the different ways tectonic plates can move. Afterward they have a snack! Fun for everyone! YOU CAN NOW CONNECT WITH US ON OUR FACEBOOK HERE!

I hope you all had a blessed Shabbat and fellowship time. We did! The atmosphere is changing as we plan/prepare for Passover! Anyhow these are just a few of the hands on activities from last week. While our youngest (2nd grade) was learning about the water cycle we did the suggested Masterbooks activity to demonstrate the water cycle in a glass jar for him. Which was fun; similar to a previous a activity of making a "cloud in a jar." Then we used some 'hands on' play doh for our 4th grader in Math to make 3-d shapes. Both simple activities that were fun and enriching to the learning experience. These are easy to recreate at home with your children too! sources used: Masterbooks Math Level 4 & Masterbooks Let's talk Science: Adentures in the Physical World YOU CAN NOW CONNECT WITH US ON OUR FACEBOOK HERE!

Learning how to tell time! Our youngest has been waiting and waiting to use these..... I kept the lesson short, about 45 minutes enough for him to find it fun and learn a few basics.
He said setting the time on the plastic clock after rolling the dice to get the time was his favorite part. 2/8/22 We closed out the evening playing with the clock and dice again and using the matching cards...match the clock time to the right printed time. He really enjoyed it enough that he wasn't ready to put it up. In just 2 days he has learned SO MUCH. This was an excellent and fun resource to introduce time to him and he had fun while learning!

This week our oldest learned about the Solar System and planets. I ordered the "Planet system planetarium" off of Amazon for $20. In addition to the book reading and worksheet, she completed the planetarium and closed out the lesson with this video: https://youtu.be/d8y8kc317EE from Homeschool Pop. She was excited about this lesson and thought it was neat. She did say the painting was tedious and not her fave. But overall it was an enjoyable lesson!

Learning about the cycles of the moon
Homeschool fun! Masterbooks, Adventures in Creation level 1 The kids knew this lesson was coming up and they were both excited. Z will have this lesson in her Science book "God's Design for Life: Heaven & Earth" a bit later but this is something she participated in as well and had fun. After the lesson they had a yummy snack! *side note DISCLAIMER: I do not receive compensation from ANY of the resources I share or use.
