Did a dictation on the verse.

Christian Heroes
Read about Cameron Townsend. (I'm really glad I bought this set of books!)

Geography
We got the passports!!! =) (and the air tickets that we made from here)


yay! we're off!


At the "customs", I gave them a "stamp" on the passport. Downloadable and editable here!


And we had Make-Your-own Mexican meal. In our home, we use this taco seasoning A LOT. IT's REALLY good!!!

The girl played a game on the ipad (iphone) app that taught them to make tacos. =) Virtually. (Pocket Chef - FREE!)


Mapping Mexico




We listened to the Wee Sing Around the World Mexican music.

AND we watched some really upbeat Timbales music on Sesame Street!




Started North America Geography Game. Very fun for boy. One day I used skittles for him to play. The ones he got correct he get to eat them, the ones he didn't, the sisters did.


Mapping Mexico

 At the end of the journey, we did our memory book.

Starting to memorize the 2's timetable and 3's timetable. (and also division)
Printed the multiplication table off here

Language

And I made some review worksheets for them, like this story.

If you use this materials to learn the phonetic sounds (which I highly recommend), you can use this download exercise for review

And we learnt some easy Spanish words.

Desert Diorama (and the Tundra on the opposite)



Art
The preschooler did the paper doll...

Made God's eye...I really don't know if we got it right...anyhows...=)

We made tissue paper flowers "papel picado". It was fun though not THAT easy for the kids. Found some interesting information about this art form

      I got them here
      http://teacherexpress.scholastic.com/instant-habitat-dioramas
      when it was free (or a $1) but now it's kind of expensive (in my view) but it is a very good ebook.

    Hey there! I was wondering if there was a way to get the memory page now? I have a wide range of ECC kids and this looks like it would be so helpful! Thank you so much!

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 .
