Our homeschool co-op changed the structure of our group time. We have take our group time back into the home, and are pairing up families, and rotate each week. This is me and Linda…

We did our time around firefighting in preparation for our field trip next week and R’s love of firefighters. We started with cirlce time and a Bible story on God leading the Israelites out of Eygpt by a cloud of smoke and fire – and how that is not one fire we want to put out!
After the Bible story, Linda read from a few books about firefighters and community helpers. After circle time we went to work in the kitchen to start our pretzel dough! We made whole wheat soft pretzels . Yum-O!
Leigh talked on ‘then & now’ of how fires used to be put out; how buckets were used and were filled up by a well/stream/lake and people would work together to get the water from point A to B. The kids had fun with that one – the ‘fire’ didn’t really get put out but I think that helped illustrate the point the hoses work so much better!
