MFW CtG/K Week 11: U-Us, Moses


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
You shall not murder

Bible/History
  • Discussed and memorized the 6th commandment (how harboring anger is also murder), read some bible verses about it
  • We learnt about Moses, Queen Hatshepsut, Code of Hammurabi
Made an Egyptian paper doll




We studied about the Code of Hammurabi and Big Brother was utterly disgusted by some of the laws.




Math/Science
  • Water Clock (Egyptian's invention)



Made a waterclock, but didn't work very precisely

Day 2: Water and Air - Air takes up space




We tried different glasses and most of them we can't see the cork, except the wine glass



Language
  • We continued to work on nouns and verbs for Big Sis and we started on verbs for Big Bro.
  • Spelling Power for Big Bro
  • Spelling by Sight and Structure for Big Sis
  • We also learnt the Greek word "thesis" and did our English from the Roots Up notebook page. We also revised the past words. 


Foreign Language

We were on Lesson 4 on åº·è»’一上.

For revision we read some stories from this book.



Art/Music



We learnt to draw trees




Have you wondered?
  • Who invented straws? (a random question from the kids at lunch) The Sumerians started using !! But the real "inventor" was Marvin Stone in 1888

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 .
