P-Penguin Unit Plan

We'll be on vacation!! When others were snowed in, having their winter breaks and all the other Jewish holidays, we had school throughout. Now it's our turn to take a break.

It'll be wonderful to see grannies again and when we come back, we'll be going on to P-Penguin Unit. I wish we'll have a chance to visit the zoo in our vacation, so we can see some elephants, horses, goats and of course, PENGUINS. =)
  March of the Penguins would have been such a great movie for the unit...but I don't think my sentimental boy will take it. (I was bawling myself) Too much for his heart. Too long anyway. I might show the trailer here
  Other things we would do: *

Video of penguins
*Online non-fiction story book of the penguins
*dot to dot worksheet
*Itsy Book on penguin
*Color by number penguin worksheet
*VERY interesting and simple Science activities to learn about penguins
*Simple facts

*Easy Science experiment: will it slide?
*P-tracing for preschooler *Learn about Antarctic and other places penguins live in
*Discuss how we can honor our family members

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 .
