1st Grade, Rome to Reformation Week 29: South American Tribes, Jupiter, last supper, the cross, resurrection and ascension

BIBLE

We memorized Philippians 2:5-11 and did some review of verses 
We continued reading the book of 1 John.

For Lil Sis, we read about the last supper, the cross, resurrection and ascension


This isn't the first time we coincide so beautifully with the passion week. This week we prepare for Good Friday and Easter and Lil Sis was reading all about it!






We were also reading about Leonardo Da Vinci, so this is a great time do the "Last Supper" craft.

And we made the resurrection cookies. Last time we made these was three years back!
These are the ingredients and this time all took turns to read (besides Baby Sis of course)

The last step was the "seal" the tomb. The kids said "But we could take off the tape!" So I told them "Just as we think as if the tape could stop us from opening the oven, as if the stone can stop Jesus from resurrecting!!"


The tomb is empty!!


HISTORY

We learnt about the South American tribes before the Spanish invaded the land.

We also made maps of Magellan and Verspucci.
When we talked about the gods of the tribes and how they need to "keep the god alive" by sacrificing human blood, we were reminded how wonderful God wants us as a living sacrifice and He is the one who keeps US alive.

We made Aztec pots.


LANGUAGE
The older kids continued on Rod and Staff English.

Lil Sis worked on her bible story reading  and bible notebook. 

The older two did a review for åŗ·č»’äø€äø‹ for Mandarin Chinese and Lil Sis did practice on bopomofo


We learnt two more Latin words "facio" and "plico" this week. 
I used puzzlemaker to make the crossword puzzle for review. The kids really like this.


MATH
We continued to practice Math. 

SCIENCE
We learnt about Jupiter and there were so many interesting information about it.
Because we are cutting down screen time, we did the newspaper by writing instead of on the computer.

Big Bro's

Lil Sis did a page from learningpage.


ART

We did replicas of the Mona Lisa

And we learnt to paint with soft edges.

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 .
