MFW 1st Grade Days 17-21


Preschool
All of a sudden Colleen is starting to write numbers. Ha. So we started more practice (more like herself) to write 1-10

And she is getting good at identifying the alphabet too.
We used the Fun with Numbers (Patilla) book with her to practice numbers and counting
1st Grade
Math
We continue on counting this week.
Science
We talked, read and saw trees.
Art
I decided to go back to Drawing with Children afterall. Some of the warm-ups seem doable. Will see.
Booklist
A Busy Year (Leo Lionni) 
Meeting Trees (Scott Russell Sanders)
A Log's Life (Wendy Pfeffer)
Tell me, tree (Gail Gibbons) 
Double the ducks (Stuart Murphy)
Missing mittens (Stuart Murphy)  

Exploration Day! We went to Old Westbury Gardens. It felt like I walked into a Jane Austen's novel...feeling more right in a gown than a pair of jeans. It was wonderful that the kids had fun the gardens and enjoying nature.

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 .
