MFW Adventures Week 2: Christopher Columbus

Day out. It's always fun to be out and exploring the city.


 
 


Christopher Columbus
 
The MANY books we borrowed.
The Picture book is Ian's favorite. I still have yet to finish reading the "Step into Reading" one with him. But we started on "Boxcar Children #1" and we both love it.
I feel the reading is a bit much(hopefully will get better in time) In addition to the read-alouds from The Story of US and Pioneers and Patriots it really is quite a lot to read!
 
Ian's retelling of the story
 
Time line
 
 
Making the boats. The aluminum foil is a GREAT idea.


BIBLE: We did the Jesus (The Lord Saves) coloring. Ian chose "brown" cos it's the Jesus' color. The cross, he said. =)
And we read many verses from the Discovery Bible on the OT talking about Jesus.

SCIENCE: Air (takes up space)
 
And we watched two videos that are fun about Christopher Columbus.

MATH: This week we did more comparing numbers and started on graphs


We did more "I can do all things" for art and Ian really likes 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 .
