R-Rock Plan

This is a less-activity week I suppose. Not much to find to do about rocks. Or rather...they might enjoy it more when they are older (like learning about minerals and sort).
Anyhows, here are what we'll do:
* collect rocks (hopefully we'll find some around...) Or I might have to buy some.
* learning about the Wise man/foolish man (and review the song?)
* what floats? experiment
* make a volcano (baking soda and red vinegar our of clay mountain) or lavalite
* Make Rock cookies and talk about minerals. A good resource and recipe here

Books we have (not much too)
Let's Go Rock Collecting by Roma Gans
I Love Rocks by Cari Meister
Pebble, Susan Milord
Stone Soup, Marcia Brown

Bible
He alone is my rock. He is the One who saves me. He is like a fort to me. I will always be secure. Ps 62:2
惟 獨 他 是 我 的 磐 石 、 我 的 拯 救 ． 他 是 我 的 高 臺 ． 我 必 不 很 動 搖 詩篇62:2

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 .
