MFW 1st Grade Days 107-111

SCIENCE: Water pressure
We happened to have this kit which is really really fun for the kids

Made a shepherd bag (because of David) and the kids were just elated! Good thing my machine has a presser-foot-free function. Easier on them.

PRESCHOOL

Button snake

iPad: ABC Sketch Pad (quite a good practice) free

Bible Verse Copywork

We used an iPad app to teach on the harp (David plays) and listen to the sounds of them. (now for $1.99, I got it for free) We also went on youtube to see the real harps.

More Math additions and subtractions

We read the Rag Coat and did some FIAR activities on it (not completed yet) and we read the Cloak for the dreamer along with it (even though that's on shapes)

Learning about the Appalachia Mountains and the states it runs through.

Other read-alouds this week. I really like the Seven Silly Eaters. So funny!!

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 .
