Saudi Arabia

Bible

We did not continue with Gladys Alyward because I think it's a bit too heavy for my child.

Geography

Made flat bread from this source. I think it's pretty good! (The kids think so too)

We played the more complicated Geography Game whereby they have to "travel" the countries. (noted in TM) It was REALLY fun for them!

I know the lassi should not have strawberry...but I can't resist. The kids loved it.

Science

Did a camel lapbook and read about endangered animals

Language

I made a new series for Chinese (these are examples). Using very simple bible lessons. You are welcome to download here. Lesson 1 Lesson 2
Math
We started on Singapore Math 3 A and worked VERY hard (many many many many more reviews on the place values)

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 .
