2021-2022 Week 14

 HISTORY

We learnt about the troubles and dissatisfaction in the colonies. We did a few fun projects.


The Pie of intolerable acts.


The taxation game. Basically we pick a card that shows the tax and another card to see if the tax is as is, double, or triple. The money went down fast. It was fun to see the currency during the colonial period.



The tea act and the Boston Tea Party

This is a fun map that we will continue to use when we talk about the other events.

The girls did a digital newspaper.

We are reading aloud "Meet Felicity". And the girls read the accompanying book.

For Science last week we learnt about the pollinators and this week we learnt about fruits.

9th GRADE

Big Sis continued to learn about Scandinavia, so we made the Hasselback Potatoes. Yum!

PREPPER

We started being more intentional in Wee Bro's school. I'm using materials from Before Five in A Row.

First book we rowed was "ABC Bunny", seeing how crazy he is about the alphabet.




This is REAL fun, especially because snacks are involved.



He is starting to do simple kumon pages too.

I love this idea (not mine).


We got some books from the library. To go with the "bunny" theme, we read "Wolfie" and drew a bunny.

He LOVES to write hte letter.s

Big Sis taught him to sign, and he is REALLY good with the alphabet.



These are other fun ABC books we got from the library.

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 .
