2021-2022 Week 12-13

HISTORY

For week 12 we listened to SOTW for the chapters on India, Japan and China.

For week 13, we began the Homeschool in the Woods American Revolution Unit study. I'm so excited!

The girls did a newspaper article on the French and Indian War.

We studied the French and Indian War, George Washington, and George III.

This lapbook component was fun!

It was interesting to learn about the government during the colonial times.

For Science co-op we learnt about pollinators and did a fun pollinating activity.

9th Grade

Big Sis made a Nordic star for her studies on the Scandinavian countries.

And she made Quiche Lorraine for France.

She did some fun and exciting experiments for Chemistry this week.

11th GRADE

Big Bro turned 16 this week. In a blink of an eye.

This was my very first post in 2010, when he began Pre K at home. Wow. I've learnt and grown so much since then. Well, yes, I'm sure he too. =)

PREPPER

He continues to have fun with his books.

And learning to write. Yes, even Chinese.

But the most fun and school he has is spending time with popo (my mom)

and making all kinds of lovely treats.

Next week I will begin to use BFIAR (Before Five in a Row) IDEAS for him.

OTHER HAPPENINGS

During lunch, Big Bro sprang a spontaneous teaching on the geography of Manhattan for us. =)

This is an AMAZING art by Lil Sis.

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 .
