MFW CtG/K Week 10: U-Us, Joseph


4th/2nd Grade Creation to the Greeks

Ten Commandments:
I am the LORD your God...you shall have no other gods before me.
You shall not make for yourself an idol.
You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy
Honor your father and your mother

Bible/History
  • Discussed and memorized the 5th commandment, read some bible verses about it
  • We learnt about Joseph's story, in fact we read it in one day because the children could not get enough of it!
  • We also talked about what it was like in the Pharoah's court, the clothing, their food etc.


This video was a good wrap

4th grader's story



2nd Grader's story


Math/Science


  • Water and Air: Water Cycle




Look!! Precipitation! The kids were really excited to see this. (I kept thinking I need not do this experiment since they have seen boiling water and condensation all the time! I was wrong. They were surprised)




Water and Air: Solute and solvents
Epsom salt after water (from last week) was evaporated



Language


  • We continued to work on nouns and verbs for Big Sis and we started on topic sentences and paragrahing for Big Bro.
  • We stopped Writing Strands because it was getting a lot of work for me, but I think Rod and Staff is also doing the writing work, which is good.
  • Spelling Power for Big Bro
  • Spelling by Sight and Structure for Big Sis
  • We also learnt the Greek word "syn" and did our English from the Roots Up notebook page. We also revised the past words. 
  • We lost the Treasures of the Snow book!!!! (from our vacation last week) BOO HOO HOO !!!! I don't know if I should keep searching or get a new one...=( But we sometimes read from this book and it's real fun.




I drowned in Enid Blyton (old English author) when I was a girl. I loved to introduce the books to my kids now.





Foreign Language

We were on Lesson 3 on åº·è»’一上.



Art/Music

Mural drawing



Drawing the eye. Got the girl real interested she has been drawing self portraits. =)



Have you wondered?
  • Why should we honor our parents? After reading several bible verses, we learnt that honoring your parents is not to make them happy or not make them mad, it is pleasing to God!
Kindergarten: U-u Us

We did a lot of fun things for U-u Us and will do more next week!

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!

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 .
