Nate Saint is so much more enjoyable to read!

We finished Nate Saint. Oh my. Tear-jerking story.
But it's still very detailed for the kid (as in many names, dates etc). The story retold in the manual was a good recap.


Made the Nate Saint plane
Geography
Geography Game for South America. So fun! 
 
Brigadeiros. A lot of work, but DELICIOUS. I used the graham crackers and coconut instead of choc sprinkles because that's what I have.

We looked at natural habitat in different countries in South America.
Flag and Fact page



Memory Book

LOVE this classic Disney video clip!



Math
We started 2B.


Language

We finished all of the BoPoMoFo!! Yay!





This picture cracks me up. Our kids were not that enthusiatic about Chinese, but ever since I introduced BoPoMoFo and they realized they can ACTUALLY read Chinese, they were more than enthusiastic. This is a "who's the first to recognize..." game.





Made a Creation story lesson that can be downloaded here


Big Boy wrote a story about his birthday. 3 sentences.

And we read from some easy readers


Spelling Power is getting easier to use


One of the ways to learn Spelling words - make a sentence (I've tried other ways SP suggested too. Boy loves the "write with eraser" method most)

Science



Rainforest Diorama

We learnt about the Amazon, the animals in the rainforest etc...



And we made the egg experiment. It was really fun. We found out that the 3 eggs (when we did 4, one was too tall and made the arrangment imbalance) can take the weight of 11 books, 8 kg! It was cool, because our baby sister is 9kg.

Art



Drinking Flute art...not as easy to make the sounds but the kids had fun.


Rainforest tree frog!





Thumbprint art

Preschool with ECC


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






Some nice B crafts

Playdoh mats




R for Rainforest

  1. really cool! Love the fact that you're teaching them Chinese! That's what I love about homeschooling. you can teach them whatever you want your family to be passionate about! We, in our family, teach them spanish. So awesome! What book did you use for Science? and I've found that "spelling" via copy work is more efficient... if you have any questions about that.. let me know. I'll be following your blog... so keep up the great work!

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 .
