MFW 1st Grade Days 62-66

PRESCHOOL

The land, sea, air categorization game. I like it...

1st GRADE

We did charting. Thank you Auntie Y and Uncle W for the gummy bears! We did more charting that are not in the pics and our library books didn't arrive yet, so we read some from last week

SCIENCE: Planets
The books didn't arrive too, so we'll continue on planets next week. I found A LOT of good resources on the Learning Page

However, you can see that we need some "reteaching" about the planets (they are 8 now, Pluto is out) and also the year of our universe (this number is according to Big Bang and Evolution theory). Listen to the WONDERFUL teaching here about how our universe is young (listen to the "Young Universe" talk) While you're there listen to "Check it out" too. It's very cool

BIBLE NOTEBOOK

We are having a lot of fun with it. Ian really likes this part. We tried to do more medium and not just drawing

I love it that for Tower of Babel Ian wrote some "foreign language" he made up on the side...

BIBLE
We memorized the books of the bible up to Psalms (Ian is doing a WONDERFUL job!) and Prov 25:28 - A person without self control is like a city with broken-down walls. We also studied "self-control" for Character 1st.

OTHERS
Chinese has become our daily work and we use this ipad app for that

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 .
