BIBLE

We revised the Roman Road verses and also the NT books.
Then we went on the memorize Romans 12:1-2 this week.

Lil Sis memorized Proverbs 10:1
A wise son makes his father glad. But a foolish son brings sorrow to his mother.

We read on Jesus' life and teachings. We wrote a summary on his life.

When we read on the temptation of Jesus we contrasted his temptation and the temptation of Adam.

We read chapters 15-17 of Bronze Bow.

Lil Sis worked on her phonics, bible books and bible notebook

This girl really loves crafts so I can see the Bible Notebook is going to be so fun for her.

The older two learnt more of Lesson 5 康軒一下 for Mandarin Chinese and Lil Sis learnt more bopomofo.

We learnt two more Latin words "frater fratis" and "populus" this week. (Big Sis was dying to know what is "sister", so we checked "soror" hence sorority?)

We did Spelling Power.

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 .
