MFW 1st Grade Days 12-16

Bible
The Lord is watching everywhere, keeping His eye on both the evil and the good. Proverbs 15:3

Math
This week we did counting. I realize Ian is not good at that because he tends to miss things. We also started a 8sums-a-day practice drills. Basically I give him 8 addition/subtraction sums that are to his level everyday to practice, beginning with very simple ones.

I also love the pattern animal book. I feel that their worksheets have great questions.

Booklist
I like Fun with Numbers, Just Enough Carrots quite a bit.

Science
We talked about seeds, flowers...and we planted a rye grass project that someone gave us as a gift. It was really fun.

Preschool
I made some lapbooks and did my own dot-a-dot Math worksheets.
I also found that it was fun to see how much uppercase letters my 3.5 years old recognize. And we did a fun busy bag idea of the poms here.

Exploration Day
For ED, we went to the playground downstairs, rode our bikes and enjoyed the blue sky in the midst of tall buildings in the city.

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 .
