Keepers of the Faith is a program that I have wanted my children to participate in for years. When the opportunity arose with a great group of homeschoolers, I jumped at it. You may check out the Keepers Club here: Keepers of the Faith
We do it slightly different than the way he program is set up in ha he children earn paper badges o put in their notebook rather than patches to wear on a sash. The girls meet in the library meeting room for 2 hours once a month. They have worked on several badges under the great leadership of Mrs. Jen. She is unbelievably creative and has the patience of Job. I am so blessed to have her in our lives for the girls to look up to and to emulate.
The following photos are just a sample of activities that the girls have worked on this year.
In this meeting, the girls each brought blank recipe cards. They were to go down the line, taking 2 different cards to put in their recipe books.
Here, Emily is working on her recipe book. The girls decorated the cover of a photo album to slide their recipe cards in.
Another badge in the Culinary Arts section was to prepare certain snacks. The girls made trail mix and served it to the boys and parents. They also made popcorn which smelled delicious!
These two photos are from the meeting that the girls worked and completed the Rubber Stamping and Card Making badge.
As the school year concludes, so must our school activities.
We will have two months off for summer vacation (secretly jumping up and down) before resuming all of our regular activities.
Finally, I can sigh! After the meeting today, we had our free smoothies at Tropical Smoothie for wearing flip-flops, accompanied with lunch, friends and family, topped off with a couple of hours a the pool. Ahh! I LOVE SUMMER!
*The "t" key on my keyboard has been acting up so if there are missing "t's" through out the post, please forgive me. I tried to catch them all.
