W-Water Unit Plan

Here's the plan for W-Water unit. My biggest challenge would be how to explain living water to the spirit to a 5 year old. hmm.
 Here are my planned activities:
Water as Liquid 
-Read Helen Frost's Water as Liquid 
-putting liquid in different containers, showing that liquid conforms to containers 
-guess which container has more water 
-Make chart for liquid/solid/gas 


Water as Solid 
-Read Helen Frost's
Water as Solid
-Make paper snowflakes 
-Rising Ice experiment


Water as Gas 
-Read Helen Frost's Water as Gas and Water Cycle 
-Water cycle explanation and showing (ideas from here) 
-Rain in a jar experiment 


 Other activities 
-Soap-powered boat experiment
-Snack ideas: popsicles?
-Telling the story of Woman at the Well (and coloring) for day 1


Booklist (besides Helen Frost's)
Let's Try It Out in the Water by Semour Simon and Nicole Fauteux 
I get Wet Vicki Cobb
Make Way for the ducklings 


 But I get a feeling the HF's books are all I'm getting...Recently the library has been very slow in processing my requests.
Bible Verse:
John 7:37-38
Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them

Online Resources: Sesame Street Games

I love the Sesame Street Games ...I think they are the best for preschoolers. They teach important concepts, at the same time, making computer skills real easy. For eg, there is no "click and drag"...that's hard for them...there's "click" "move" "click". There are some games Ian really likes...(click on photo for the games) That's the Wheels on the Bus song (you press the keys foe interactive movements) Patterns. Seasons. Fun for the kids. Walking the dogs...numbers. This is alltime favorite. First you make a pitcher of lemonade. Then depending on how many monsters come, you click however many cups. I love it!

Science 2015/2016: Human Body Recap

We really had fun learning about the Human Body this year. I thought it would be meaningful to consolidate our learning. We enjoyed the Body Book more than I thought we would. I did do most of the cutting though. We also enjoyed the different videos we watched and the experiments. I think this is the most successful science year yet. The five senses Tongue the Ear The Skin The Eye Skeleton Joints Long Bone Tooth Brains Spinal Cord Digestive System Stomach The Lungs The Heart The Urinary System The Muscle Look through all our experiments and videos here .
