R-Rock Unit

Here are the things we did for R-Rock
*Volcano Experiment (It was fun for the kids!) Check out the video on the next post
*Watched some videos of volcanos on youtube
*Read and talked extensively on the parable of the House on the Rock/Sand.
*Did a coloring of that
*We also played a game. I would say certain scenarios and the kids would run to the Foolish chair or Wise chair accordingly
*Sang "Wise Men build his house upon the rock" (Chinese)
*Used legos to build two houses (one well built, one not) and put them on the Bible (Rock) or "sand" (pony beads)

Talking about pony beads, I had a "smack in the head" moment. I let the girls sit at the table during school and they REALLY like to play with the beads. Who wouldn't? But it was getting a pain for they would drop the beads and it would be difficult to find them. Today I decided to put them on a clean and plain carpet. OF COURSE, that's MUCH better!!!! easier to clean up. Of course it still took a long to clean up when the WHOLE bucket was emptied on the floor (by the littlest). The big boy thought it was fun, like a pebble hunt!
Didn't do the Rock Cookies, for we have too much sweets in the house...

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 .
