MFW 1st Grade Days 22-26

The kids contracted some kind of stomach virus this week...we took school slow.

PRESCHOOL

I did this number wheel before with Ian and now with Colleen.

We also did quite a bit of practicing on her number and alphabets. She is doing very very well on that!

With our new iPad, I even tried some apps with her...will do some review of them soon, I hope.

The Littlest having some fun with free sticker sticking. She's the real sticker girl in our family.

1st grade:

Here is Ian trying to learn to put spacing in his handwriting

This is a funny one...Ian giving a "sum" to Colleen...which she can't complete of course.

Last week we didn't manage to finish the seeds study...so this week we continue and Ian drew them on his Science journal.

And we did the Rain in the Jar experiment again (last time it failed) because we were talking about rain.

Math

We talked about comparing. Greater than/Lesser than, etc...I LOVE the Two Greedy Bear book, so fun! I read it to the kids while eating a piece of cheese (I'm the fox) They were so amused. =)

We played the "What's my number" game too (guessing number by saying "greater" or "lesser"). Even Colleen enjoyed the game, but she can only do 1-10 of course.

A pity the Science books didn't come in time. We only had this this week. Hopefully next week we'll catch up with all the rain/thunder books.

I really like how MFW teaches about the Bible. This week is about who're the authors (Author) of the bible.

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 .
