I'm a strong supporter of making education exciting through enrichment activities

This project is a very effective way to help learn to identify the Hebrew Alephbeyt.  Our children really benefit from this activity and I'm looking forward to making flashcards for Paleo Hebrew next.

We've done about 3 group Hebrew Study gatherings and I'm getting great feedback for editing and promoting the guides I wrote a few years ago.

I recently came across this site with a similar approach to learning the language:

Build a Wall... 12/27/2011
1 Comment
 
In an effort to promote physical endurance, I've requested our boys to "build a wall" in the backyard every day.

There are some cinder blocks and cement bricks that the boys  must carry across the yard and build the wall.  Each week, I plan to increase the number of bricks they are carrying so that over time they can strengthen their muscles and become more disciplined in physical activity.


Last week, was just a starter session and I may possibly video tape the process once they really get in the hang of it.

If you have any helpful suggestions for promoting excercise with limited supervision, please leave a reply (feedback always welcome) :)

I came across this video & learned a few new things about modern Hebrew.  This is exciting to me, since I've just embarked on the study in "Aleph Isn't Tough".

"Hebrew School" 07/30/2011

Last week, our friend's son asked me: "When are we gonna do Hebrew School?"  This blessed me so much to know that he enjoyed and looked forward to our group Hebrew Studies each week. 

We've been meeting with a few children from our assembly at our house to study the culture, language and instructions in the Bible for about a month.  These gatherings are definately a highlight of my week!

Here's a link from one of the resources we used this week:

Seamstress in the Making 06/30/2011

We just wrapped up a mini-summer sewing class with our 5 & 6 year olds and a few friends.  I'm amazed at hour these few hours of dedicated sewing time has triggered regular sewing pursuits for our girls.  They've gotten so creative with the little projects for themselves as well as for their dolls.

This is a link to an old video we made to help encourage sewing creativity:

Here's another link to a video where our oldest girls converted old pjs to make them a bit more modest:

This is an idea I had based on my daughters 4-H sewing class in Louisiana:

  • Set up your sewing machine
  • Take out the bobbin and the thread up top
  • Print this sewing practice page
  • Sew (threadless) along the lines on the page




NOTE: The curved lines are more challenging.

Also, when you practice the green lines,
1.Stop at each corner
2.Don't use the peddle, but turn the wheel so the needle is in the paper on the corner
3.Lift up your presser foot
4.Turn the page so you can continue sewing on the next line
5.Put the presser foot back down
6.Continue sewing
This is good practice for sewing things like exterior square pockets

We just received our summer workbooks and I'm looking forward to getting back in the groove of our homeschooling.  For those who want a simple resource to keep their children's academic lessons fresh, consider this series entitled, "Summer Bridge Activities."  I bought ours at a discount from Rainbow Resource (www.rainbowresource.com)

Additionally, I've set a goal with another mom to plan a few enriching field trips for our children this summer so we can explore more of our surroundings. Here's to summer fun!

    WELCOME

    Our family is on a agricultural mission!

    " Trust in יהוה, and do good; Dwell in the earth, and feed on steadfastness.
    And delight yourself in יהוה, And let Him give you the desires of your heart.
    Commit your way to יהוה, And trust in Him, and He does it. "

    Tehillim (Psa) 37:3-5
