Bible

Big sis is quite conscientious about the copywork
Memorized Pr 16:24. (The honey and garbage illustration went quite well)

We read a couple of devotions that tie in with the memory verse from this book

Math
We did some worksheets on Complete Book of Math
did some worksheets on shapes
and read some fun books too
Realized I didn't do the bean sticks for the number of the day. Went back and did them, also to teach her place values.

Science
We learnt about rain

And made a mini book on how to predict the weather by clouds
And we made a rain stick
1. Poke toothpicks into tube (I made a hole with a thumbtack first). Some people use nails. Some just twist a foil in the middle like here (I used the slanting lines as guidelines)


2. Cut off excess toothpicks.


3.Wrap one end with foil (or paper) then tie with rubber band.


4. Add beans (or rice or corn)


5. Decorate!


6. Done!





And it sounds like this! (I will keep this for the Brazil weeks for ECC)


We did the lightning experiment that seems OH SO FUN here, but it didn't work for us. =(
Language

Finished the Animal Tales

Learnt about long vowel u, ay, the "oo" sounds and the "th" sound


 And ar, or


Learnt Lessons 4/5 (ㄔㄨㄟㄤㄒㄙㄕㄥㄋ) and did some practice
If you use this materials to learn the phonetic sounds (which I highly recommend), you can use this download exercise for review

 Arts


We did quite a few projects for ECC.

Preschool
Little Sis did her usual calendar. But this week, she also enjoyed more crafts that ties in with alphabet or with ECC
Found some nice cutting downloads here, to occupy her time and to practice cutting

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 .
