CtG Week 2: AdamEve to Noah

We finished week 2!

This week, we learnt about...

Bible
...Adam and Eve
...Cain and Abel
...Noah
...the Flood

Culture
...the Jewish calendar

Science
...light

The girls made notebook pages on the computer for their bible and history lessons.
This is an example of what Big Sis did.

We made animal crackers

And Lil Sis played with the Noah toyset

We measured the ark downstairs, while it was raining! =)
And we watched many good videos about the flood at this website

We found where Turkey is and we drew the bible map

Science

This was one experiment we did on light and reflection

White paper reflected most light

Black absorbed most of the light

Red reflect red light

Big Sis did some experiments in General Science as well.

She learnt about atoms and density.

She learnt that atoms move faster in hotter temperature

And she learnt about how solutions give off different substance. This was our favorite experiment.

She watched videos from Virtual Homeschool Group and did notes in the Student Notebook. I REALLY like the notebook.

Foreign Language

Baby Sis is learning bopomofo.

Lil Sis is using Duolingo for her foreign language

Big Sis learns Foreign Language with Big Bro. We use Integrated Chinese.

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 .
