1st Grade, Rome to Reformation Week 31: Gutenberg, Reformation

BIBLE

We memorized Philippians 2:12 and did some review of verses

We read about Wycliffe, John Huss, Martin Luther, and William Tyndale.

I felt that this week was such an important week. We talked about all the things the protesters were wanting to reform of the church, and our kids were astounded. I reminded them that we are so blessed to view those things as "absurd" because of these reformationists! Many of them had to pay with their lives so that we can live a faith so free!

For Lil Sis, since we finished the bible reader, I asked her to pick a bible notebook page to do.

HISTORY

We learnt about the Gutenberg invention of the printing press and how that affected how bibles are printed and the reformation.

We watched the video of the old fashioned art of making a book and marvelled at how the machine was just like the Gutenberg's design!

We learnt about the early Reformation and the Reformation process. We also read about Martin Luther's 95 point theses

LANGUAGE

The older kids continued on Rod and Staff English.

Lil Sis will be doing reading from books of her choice. This week she read Fancy Nancy.

I really like this bookstand we bought. It helps with reading and posture!

The older two did a review for 康軒一下 for Mandarin Chinese and Lil Sis did practice on bopomofo

We learnt two more Latin words "stella" and "amo" this week.

MATH

We continued to practice Math.

SCIENCE

We learnt about Uranus and Neptune

Big Bro took out his little models again.

These were pages for Lil Sis.

We did not do the cloud experiment. Instead we did this with Baby Sis.

This shows how when the clouds are saturated, they "rain"

The kids had a lot of fun.

ART

We did not do art this 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!

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 .
