Go to Egypt with Tapestry of Grace - "Welcome to Egypt, as you've never studied it before. As you review each week-plan in this three-week mini unit, you'll learn more both about Tapestry, and about how Egyptians lived, worked, and played. Explore their culture, traditions, geographic context, and worldview. In Week One, the focus is on Egypt's domination of the Nile River, and how control of the Nile allowed it to become one of the most powerful nations of its age. Consider it as the home of a young prince named Moses, and understand the Exodus story in a new light as you go to Egypt with Tapestry of Grace." (Y, M, O, T)

Grasses for the Masses - You can help restore the health of the Chesapeake Bay and Virginia's rivers by participating in Chesapeake Bay Foundation's Grasses for the Masses program. Volunteers in the program grow wild celery, a type of underwater grass, in small tubs in their homes for 10 weeks, then help plant the grasses in local rivers to boost the population of this critical Bay resource. Combined with efforts to reduce nitrogen and phosphorus pollution and soil runoff, the program helps improve the Bay's health by increasing the amount of grasses in the Bay. (Y, M, O, T)
