1st Grade, Rome to Reformation Week 33: Shakespeare, North American Native Americans, Stars

BIBLE

We reviewed Philippians 2:2-16

HISTORY

We learnt about William Shakespeare and the North American Native Americans

Found this easy to read book in the library.

The Globe Theatre before Big Sis colored it.

We found a FUN book to listen to! For the Star Wars Fan, it is very fun. We borrowed the audiobook and found it more interesting than reading the book.

Big Bro happened to find a REALLY cool stick when we played downstairs. Just in time for our arrow experiment this week!

We found the "arrow" with paper attached did fly better!

LANGUAGE

The older kids continued on Rod and Staff English.

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

MATH

We continued to practice Math.

Big Bro did some review questions from here (I only chose SOME questions since these are WAY above level questions)

SCIENCE

We talked about stars, constellation and the galaxy.

The kids were very amazed by how BIG the universe it!

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 .
