The Easiest Man Made Fertile Crescent

So how in the world does a three and four year old get the concept of the fertile crescent?

Make them into it!

Now if you are teaching CC you won't need and explanation of this Fertile Crescent... But just in case your mind needs a little help-

Blue Blanket- Mediterranean Sea
Tony- Euphrates River
Lucy- Tigris River
Pink Blanket ( also know as Mei Mei) Mesopotamia
Puppet- Eve, with her apple, snake and other animals ( Adam is MIA)
Tower- Location of Tower of Babel ( Or somewhat close)

Not to scale- but you get the point!

I'd love to see anyone else's 3D Kid version of this. This is when I wish we had 5 kids in the family. :) Think of the picture that could be. :)

Have fun!

Have a great weekend! We are hoping to dodge Isaac. This momma is sooo glad we aren't driving half an hour to a preschool next week!

Such is "my" life...

So today as I read through the FB posts of all my friends taking their kids to school and imagining once again the lump in my throat that would surface as I thought about this year's school choices. I was so relieved to say I had none of that.

I simply had a joy and a peace as we scooted off to CC today. There were the usual things that accompany my life, children changing clothes 3 times before we walk out the door, me forgetting to put my contacts in as I drive with my scratched up glasses, and of course arriving the fashionable 10 minutes late.

But all in all, I was content in my heart.

It just goes to show that when you are doing God's will, your heart knows it best of all.

On the way over I did realize however that I was on the wrong week of planning for CC. So forgive me veteran CCers, I had no clue the tutors introduce. I was thinking they were reviewing and I was a week behind. Oh how thankful I am for Lis who explains all the ins and outs to me.

So without further ado, here is a great lapbook I found for us this week! Yeah! I am on week 1!

I'm pretty sure everyone else in the world has heard of this site, but I just thought I'd throw it out there in case you haven't. Now since CC is using the old english, I only printed out the picture cards and I did that in BW. Lis, are you proud or what?

So tomorrow while I search for more fun things to do this week, I will have something for Tony to do! Lapbook countdown begin! Hopefully this one will be done before the end of next week.
