Geography

Measuring the flag

Flag page

Nice Pumpernickel toast from German (Aldi) and sauerkraut

Paper Doll

We read some fun stories written by the Brothers Grimm. When these were free, I got them. (Very nice pop up book app) I also got the Fairy Tales ebook for free (still free today 1/9/2014)

Language
I made a study on one Chinese praise song that the kids love, so that they can learn the words with it. You're welcome to take a look and use it! The song can be found here

And the lessons downloadable here

Math
We worked on money, more subtraction facts practice and fractions.
Art

Learning to draw a castle

The simple version

This is the Neuschwanstein castle he drew by looking a picture.

We also learnt about the 3 Bs, Beethoven, Bach and Brahms. So we listened to their music and the girls started dancing to them. =)

Preschool with ECC

We did the pond pack

Letter maze for G and L

G for Germany and L for lakes

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 .
