another little piece of God being there when I need HIM is ....
For the past 5 months I have been wanting to do a presentation (in our homeschool co-op) of the' HISTORY OF BOOK MAKING' and to be able to present this hands on class to the children in my sons' book club. I wanted to show them of the ancient scrolls, papyras, cueniform tablets, hieroglyphics, rosetta stone, etc... as well as different types of writing utensils/pens and ancient inks and such. (I wanted to incorporate GODs' WORD in this presentation as well as give the kids alot of hands on crafts and ones that they could take home with them.) Well there would have been a very significant price involved for each child too; which cused me to have to reconsider the whole program.
Well, after calling around at the Texas Tech University Libraries to see if they had anything related to this program, well, I spoke with the SPECIAL COLLECTIONS director and he told me that they...
have a FREE CLASS TO OUR HOMESCHOOLERS,
on the topic named "THE WONDERFUL HISTORY OF BOOKS"
WITH A TOUR OF THE LIBRARY,
WHERE THEY GET A PRESENTATION OF THE ANCIENT CUENFORM TABLETS, THE ROSETTA STONE, HIEROGLYPHICS, PAPYRUS, REED PENS, AND...
WITH FREE HANDS ON CRAFTS THAT THE KIDDOS CAN TAKE HOME!!!
God is good in the little things of our hearts as well!
