Organization for School 2011

This is how we organize school this year. (I suppose it'll change as last year did, so I'll edit the post again at the end of the year)

1st, I do the lesson plans. More elaborate for 1st grade (I'm trying to find a way to upload it here on my blog). Easy for PreK (I merely try to put down 3 activities/workbooks for her everyday). Preschooler also joins us for the activities of 1st grade if it's appropriate.

2nd, I put stickies on the pages of the workbooks/books etc that Ian was to do that day. Put them in the different subjects tabs in the workbox. Then put the workbox tag up. Every time we finish an activity, he takes the tag down and go to the next one.

I'm trying to retry the workbox, since it didn't work last year. I'm hoping to train him in this method so that when the other kids need more work, he can be more independent.

Our morning board. He can do this independently now.
*Days of school
*Date
*Weather Chart
*100 chart
*Jewish calendar
*season chart
*Make the date

I get printables/ideas here

Bible
I write the verse on another page, and Ian copies it on his. (I think it's better that I write and not print, because it helps me to see what's difficult to write)

We're thinking and working on how to incorporate Chinese in the lessons

This is Me
Something I'm adding in. Essentially for him to learn about names, addresses, etc important things of people in the family.

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 .
