CtG Week 1: Creation

We had a really great week. I planned it EXTRA light to start off easy.

We always start off with GOOD breakfast. Panakes for the win and insane plate of fruits.

And these are the gifts I gave them this year.

We learnt about the creation, made a really cute bookmark, and ate snacks relating to the creation.

First day: Oreos (not pictured)

Second day: Agar with marshmallow fluff

Third Day: Fruits

Fourth Day: Chicken with Stars Soup

Fifth Day: Goldfish

Sixth day: Animal Crackers

Seventh Day: Sundae

This year the girls copied the memory verses and decorated them to put on the table for daily reminders.

Baby Sis started Rod and Staff Spelling (by structure and sound) and also English. She LOVES them!

We did two experiments: reflection experiment and colors of the light experiment. Since I did not take photos from the experiments, I will copy the photos we took from the last time here.

Instead of reading the Dinosaurs of Eden, we listened to Ken Ham teach on the topic and we listened to Bentley Brothers' Genesis song which brought back LOVELY memories. =)

On the side, we had an interesting outing on Sat. We went to the free event: Arthur Ashe Kids' Day, which is the place for U.S. Open (Tennis). REALLY fun!

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 .
