Here you have a glimpse of the materials we gathered for this lesson: large clear storage bin, 50 pounds play sand, blue ribbon, two wooden blocks, four peg people.
Here is the combination of our art response and material shelves. (we switch out our homeschool materials each Saturday morning and then switch them back before Monday)
Art: chalk and black paper, clay and tools, homemade playdough and tools, finger paints, collage materials, crayons, pen and lined paper, water colors, stamp pads and ink, rainbow puzzle, and stick people with markers.
Materials on the shelf are the ones we have had lessons on thus far: Holy Family, creation, and the great flood.
These two photos give you a better look into our environment. We are quite limited on space and adjust wherever we can. Today we had 17 people and I am not sure there is room to make the circle any larger in the living room. (below)
There are two more families who might become part of our group - I live by the motto always room for one more. So we will make it work.
There is a possibility of pursuing a space within a local church where we could meet. I am simply not sure we are ready to give up the "home " element. (although after a few more times with the desert box in my living room and I may be more eager)
A wry grin at your observation that it's trying to use the desert box in your own living room! I too started at home (and then moved to a church hall), and our littlest member occasionally asks when we are going back to my house.
