MFW 1st Grade Days 149

MFW 1st Grade Days 149 - End

Our last days were all battling with mommy's pregnancy illness as well as allergies.

But like before, we still do these every school day:
Read bible notebook
Memorize the bible verse
Write/draw Bible Notebook
Read aloud (we take turns)
Write a story/correct the story
Math
Sometimes Chinese

And on one week we planted a kidney bean.

I wished we had ended better, but we do our best in the midst. Preparing for a baby in the family is part of "school" and learning. And I did feel that Ian had learnt quite a bit this year.
I feel that his reading has the most significant growth. He can read very independently now, even up to the Step 3 readers. He can write very well too, with an amazing penmanship. He can work on his spelling and diligence in Math (though he does well in Math for his level I think).

Well, we went to San Francisco after the school year and it was part of "school" too. He learnt so much about another part of US I think it's very worth it.

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 .
