2012 School"room"

In case anyone is interested, this is how we do school in a small NYC 2-bedroom apartment. We do school at the dining table. Afterall, it IS the place where many amazing conversations were held!

Not too different from last year.

 First, our board is simpler. oh wait. There is NO BOARD! =) hahaha...I used the paper rings as a border and that will be our "Jesus" Poster this year (for Adventures). I use poster tack to put the verses up.

Then, our morning board is simpler too. Trying to cut clutter in the house.

The map (I really should have gotten TWO maps, instead of flipping the US map and world map back and forth) is under the vinyl cover. I REALLY like the map there...by the time we REALLY want to study the states, I think Ian would have memorized the map after SOOOO many months of looking at it!

Alright, here's the corner.hmm...quite a mess, but I TRY!!!
 
Morning Board + Kindergarten board (I'm only putting up the card, and the phrase for the week)
Trying to keep things simple, for we have a baby coming in Oct and I don't want to start something too complicated and not finish it.

My little K'ner girl is adorable. She would go change the dates/days herself everyday even on non-school days.=)
 
My other school stuff are in another cabinet. Papers, work from past years, my handy dandy laminator etc. And OH!!! Look! The ant farm....sooo exciting to do it this year again!!! (can you see my fake grin??? I love the project but REALLY REALLY REALLY don't like ants)

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 .
