Our co-op is going through Year 3 in Tapestry of Grace this year. Each year, we try to fit in a big Unit Celebration before we all get busy for the holidays. Year 3 in Tapestry covers the 1800's and Unit 1 (there are 4 units in the year) finishes with a mini-3-week study of South America. For our celebration, each of the families chose a South American country to represent. We did our best to turn the back lanai (patio) of a local church into the Amazon Jungle!
Can you believe this thing? Lisa, one of the co-op moms, and her children BUILT this "paper mache" Moai representing Easter Island. I just have to say that we have some pretty talented families in our co-op! We used it in one of our games: toss the hula hoop over the Moai.
The highlight of the evening was a maze which one of the families "built" in a classroom. It wasn't as easy to get through as you would think.
All of us gathering together to pray and devote our evening of celebration to God.
I love this! One of our moms, Kim, made a little sling for her "baby".
Another family made these passports for all the students. The passports were "issued" upon arrival and then "stamped" with each country's flag as the "traveler" visited each country's table.
Our family presented the country of Ecuador along with the Galapagos Islands.
Callie constructed this 3D map of the Galapagos Islands:

Our cookie map of Ecuador! This was also our contribution to dessert. Good thing we got a picture...

Wow, you sure do have several talented folks. It looks like it was a wonderful time! We were in the Galapagos in 2008 and it was incredible. Will we get to study it in Year 3? I had no idea!
