MFW CtG/K Week 27: J-j Jewel, Elisha

4th/2nd Grade Creation to the Greeks

Isaiah 40:21-22
Do you not know? Do you not hear?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
It is he who sits above the circle of the earth,
and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers;
who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
and spreads them like a tent to dwell in;

Bible/History

  • We read on Elisha's miracles and especially the story of Naaman
  • We also continued on Homer and we're so happy Odysseus came home.

Math/Science



  • Day 5 of Creation (Swimmers and Flyers)
  • We learnt about vertebrates and invertebrates


Must have not smeared enough butter, the jello should be in ONE piece and not lumpy lumps. Anyway, the one with toothpicks is the vertebrate and the one without are invertebrates


no covering, no backbones (like the jelly fish) easy to crush


No backbones, but has covering (like crab) not as easy to crush


backbones (vertebrates) not as easy to crush

And we watched how the clam and octopus move





Language


  • Rod and Staff 
  • Spelling Power for Big Bro
  • Spelling by Sight and Structure for Big Sis
  • Cursive for Big Sis. She practices her cursive while doing her Rod and Staff work.


Foreign Language

We started åº·è»’一下!!

We are on the topic of Spring and I'm glad to find some extra materials!


This story ties in well with "Jewel"



I realized they need to learn more about usage. They are so good with new words (reading and writing) but they are not good at using the words, so we're going to read more!





Art/Music
Drawing human beings

And we looked at the sculpture of Caligula



Have you wondered?


Kindergarten:J-j Jewel

Daddy got Lil Sis this from his business trip. Never a better timing!


I love that she used these stickers to make the page.

We actually started making the rock candy (Mom gave in to food coloring...yikes). But they took a long time and there is not enough crystals! I hope it works.


End product, not like the ones we saw on the web, and they are WAYYYYYY too sweet!!!!
But it was a good experiment, I suppose.

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 .
