Apr. 14, 2008 - Learning about the Passover is FUN
We are having a great time learning more about Passover and the Resurrection. So far we have gone through the first five plagues...this morning when the children woke up all the stuffed animals in the house were lying "feet up" so to speak... We talked about murrain and what that meant. Here are some other things we did over the weekend and today... (scroll down to see some of my Passover Props)
- Read several books about Jewish Culture, Customs, People, Synagogues
- Labeled and colored a map of Egypt
- Reviewed the Hebrew alphabet and wrote our names in Hebrew
- Read over some Yiddish phrases
- Looked at the anatomy of a frog, fly, and lice. (to dissect a frog online go HERE)
- Studied the genealogies of Jesus and Made a family tree for Jesus (Matthew and Luke)
- Wrote an essay on the symbols of passover and why signs are used in the Bible
- Talked about Nomadic people
- Continued to work on our timeline
- Read about what Jesus was doing x days before crucifixion
- Looked at some Passover cookbooks and recipes
- Made flash cards for our memory verses
- Practiced songs for the resurrection "When I See The Blood" (to listen click here then scroll down to the song and click on title) and "Are You Washed in the Blood?"
- Watched Via Dolorosa on youtube (not for young...)
Here are some of the FUN books we have been using. We really like the story of the run away Matzah and absolutely LOVE the cookbook!

Apr. 14, 2008 - Your Passover Unit sounds fun!
Posted by kcmyworld
We've just finished up studying about the plagues and Exodus. Your posts make me wish we'd taken more time and done more of the fun stuff! We did some - life cycle of the frog, read about lice, made bread with and without leaven, learned about the rotation of the sun and how hail is formed, etc - but not to the depth and variety of yours. Enjoy as you continue!

What a fascinating study. I would love to create some unit studies for our family, but I feel like I just don't know where to begin.
