MFW Adventures Week 5: Pilgrims

The A Day in a Pilgrim girl/boy books are quite interesting because of their pictures. Of course, we always like the Little House books.

This was quite fun for the kids to see!

We started English Language this week. I do like the ease of the Primary Language Lessons.

Retelling of the Pilgrims story

Bible
Besides these, we read a lot of bible verses of Jesus being the light and us too (I like the verses and explanations by MFW)

Science
We read on the stars and the Big Dipper. Next week we'll be on vacation and I REALLY hope one night I can bring my boy out to see the big dipper.

Math
We continue to do Singapore Math. I try to go a little slower and add more practice for him on my own to make sure he masters one before the next.

Spelling
He REALLY likes Spelling by Structure and Sound. I think we got the pattern down and he can do an independent work on it. Quite cool to see!

AND...we finished Squanto!! I like it that MFW puts in the schedule to read a chap a day, it's a GREAT feeling to finish a read-aloud book!

Now, we need to finish Boxcar children...systematically (he jumps the chapters when reading on own)

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 .
