Our Centerpiece
Bible
Memorized Mt 5:11-12

 Christian Heroes
We completed Cameron Townsend and read on William Booth and George Muller (for Hero Tales)

It started off with me really liking the fact we are reading on Cameron Townsend, but it kind of got boring. I feel that there were WAYYYY too much details and also too many "indeed"s.  But we finished it...quite a feat I must say. We really enjoyed reading HT though

 Geography
Off to Canada we go!

 Big guy really likes the Geography game. Today we used two different color beads to know how many he got right.

Children like me

We watched Amazing Grace sung in Inuit and also how a boy build igloo. Real fun







High Tea. Got the nice cookies and the maple leaf cookies at Aldi for a great price! The kids were very happy.

The travel memory book


Math

Continued with the drill cards (we made on our own) and big boy has memorized 2 and 3 times table.


Trying to go through the place value way of addition/subtraction with big boy again...using different colors for the place values.
Big Boy finished 2A and did his test today. Not too well (he is not very good in tests, always felt he can't do it). So I made another test for him to practice.


Language
We learnt ㄏㄑㄡㄩㄆㄓㄐㄞ
And I made a story for revision, downloadable here







And more revision worksheets here


 Science




We learnt about food chains.
And we had a successful xylem experiment! It was hard getting them out but after I got a hang of it, was very fun seeing the holes!

By Day 3 I was seriously getting nervous that this is not working, but I was very happy to see that xylem-less celery take its bow.

And also about plants and animals reproduction. SOOOO...it brought up the inevitable question: How about human beings?

We got these books some time back in anticipation for this. So had to whip the 2nd book out today to read and talk.
It is a very good book.

Art

 
We made Inuit soap carving. (and destroyed two. Only one made it)

 Making the Canadian flag



You can roll it
Or paint it
Stamp a hand
Great work!


This art piece is SOOO beautiful!
Preschool with ECC

C for Canada and Carrots

For breakfast, little sis saw "C" in her kambocha pumpkin.

and she made crab.


Got some handwriting practice from here

More crabs
C for Caterpillar

And we watched a sesame street podcast on C. I really like these classic clips put together


The Q Sesame clip is HILARIOUS. We watched it so many times.





Q is for Quebec, and for Queen!

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 .
