I have been preparing a unit study to use for most of this month.  We started it this week and so far this is what we have done. 

• Read Exodus 1-15
• Watched Charlton Heston's The Ten Commandments (Netflix has it)
• Went over passover vocabulary words and made flash cards
• Researched the Feast of Unleavened Bread and leaven, how it works, why God uses leaven as a symbol of sin.
• Baked some yeast bread (object lesson for previous) and left out one slice to see what would happen to it
• Watched three short videos about Matzah, Seder, and wine
• Looked at and discussed the Jewish Calendar and how it differs from ours
• Visited several Jewish websites
• Studied the Seder
• Did some notebooking about what we have learned so far

Today we will be continuing our study and I will post again later today about what all we went over today. Hopefully, I will get to add some neat links to this post as well. Tomorrow I will begin a study of the 10 plagues, in the order they occurred. I'll definitely add pictures of that! I have spent a lot of time preparing for this unit study and hope to share as many details on here as possible... although this does seem to be such a busy time of year, doesn't it? Garden prep, outdoor activities, finishing up the school year (so to speak), etc.   If you are doing any special studies on Passover, or have any tips, ideas, good books, etc., please add them in the comments so we can all share and benefit. Thanks!
