MFW 1st Grade Days 47-51

Lapbook (forgot most of the pictures) This is a fun book and we got great resources from here

The "B" words"

Dressing up Jesse Bear

Kind Words are like honey, sweet to the soul and good for the body (Proverbs 16:24)

Drawing with Children: Draw a carousel horse. But of course, Ian likes the Lancaster carriages better.

Ian wrote a letter to his pirate friend, a fellow homeschooling family. He took a subway card which already has "Ian" on and wrote "from...To Nathan" on it. So innovative.

For fun, we made a Chrysler Building from here

Then Daddy told them the story of how the builders hid the top part of Chrysler Building INSIDE the building and the other building thought they were the tallest, except when it was finally built, they "released" the top part and won the "tallest" name.

Intrigued by daddy's story. American/New York history done. =)

One day for Exploration Day we went to Panera Bread. SOOO fun.

OTHER THINGS
We also did all the reading/writing for MFW (like the Bible Reader and Notebook...when the Creation is done, I'll put a pic of our work), did more practice of sums (practicing number bonds at the same time) and read more about Ocean since our Sun/Moon books are not in yet.

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 .
