MFW 1st Grade Days 7

MFW 1st Grade Days 7 - 11

Bible
A child who gathers crops in summer is wise.
But a child who sleeps at harvest time brings shame.

Character Building
Diligence: Investing all my energy to complete the tasks given to me
We learnt about the beavers and how they are not lazy, finish their work, concentrate and do the job right
We also learnt about Thomas Edison (who was homeschooled by the way!) and his diligent journey to inventing the lightbulb (well, not that CFL we held, but that's all we have now in the house). Ian really enjoyed the stories

Science
Seasons. I really like Molly's Seasons, I think it's written well.
We also went out a bit this week to be around nature.

Math
We did some sorting and categorizing. For the preschooler we some of those "which does not belong" stuff.
Button Box is a great book!

Preschooler
I found some great stuff on Homeschool Creations

Art
We are intending to use the family pass to MoMA this weekend.

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 .
