This week part of our studies include the importance of learning history. We starting with discussion of how God gives us the history of the world right in the Bible. He lists geneologies and tells us how long people lived. He tells us of important Historical events. So we looked at a simplified Biblical Timeline (they are only 6 and 4 after all) and found Creation Week, Flood, Tower of Babel, Birth of Christ, Crucifixion, etc. Today we were supposed to learn how even we have a history. To learn this I had this "totally cool" idea. It was gonna be SO much fun and they were gonna love it. Why, oh why, do we set ourselves up for such failure!?!?!
I found and had printed photos of our family history and the plan was the put them in order and glue them on a big sheet of roll paper and label what was happening in each photo and the year (or date for birthdays and such) that it happened. OK, these were all pictures of them when they were little except for a few. The "Cessna Family TimeLine" turned out as cool as I thought it would but they would not listen, colored on it where they weren't "supposed" to, and got a little crazy with the glue a few times. It is done but I'm afraid I did most of the work. :( Maybe they still learned something.
Here are some pictures. It wouldn't all fit in one shot so it starts on the top left and then continues in the second picture...
On a positive note, Aiden started addition in math this morning and did VERY well, both Aiden and Maverick did a great job reading me a story this morning, and they are doing a good job practicing their AWANA verses. So all in all it was successful morning I suppose!!!
