MFW CtG/K Week 2: S-s Sun, Adam & Eve - Noah



4th/2nd Grade Creation to the Greeks

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete,equipped for every good work. (2 Tim 3:16-17)

Bible/History


  • Revised 2 Tim 3:16-17
  • Read Dinosaurs of Eden
  • Read the accounts of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel and Noah
  • Made notebook pages
  • Measured the Ark (450 ft) and realized the space below our apartment is not big enough for the ark.
  • Learn about the Jewish Calendar
  • Watched a rather long video (Beginning Bible) for Noah (Quite a bit of extra information added)
  • This year I finally made the decision to make the timeline into an accordion book.

    Math/Science


    • This week we struggled somewhat with Big Bro on yards, feet and inches (Why, oh why is the American system not metric?!?!) 


    • Light: Absorption and Reflection (and different forms of energy)
    Black plastic bag absorbs more light, thus more thermal energy and thus hotter than the white.
    And we learnt about the different energy on this interesting website




    • Light:Absorption and Reflection
    The white paper just didn't work
    But the newspaper work REALLY well!



    Language


    • We had to do a few more practice on the more confusing terms like predicates and subjects but Rod and Staff does  great job. (I like it so far)
    • Spelling by Sight and Structure for Big Sis
    • Spelling Power for Big Bro
    • We also learnt the Greek word "sauros" and did our English from the Roots Up notebook page.
    • We started the read-aloud Tanglewoods' Secret. (Big Bro volunteered to read to Big Sis during Quiet Time, quite cool and he is a very good reader!)
    • And we started to read "All-of-a-kind Family" I really like the book!
    Spelling power
    "Sauros" English from the Roots Up





    Foreign Language


    • Continued on åº·è»’首冊(revising the BoPoMoFo). The older two took turns doing the lesson online. They really like the curriculum this year.


    Art/Music


    • Learnt about Vivaldi (and we like the books we read on him!)


    We also did a notebooking page about him

    This website has great resources for learning about Vivaldi and even a beginning sheet music for "Spring"!
    • Learnt to draw lines and ellipses








      Have you wondered?
      • How old was Adam when he was created? - wow! I don't know!
      • You mean, animals talked in Garden of Eden? (referring to the serpent) -  hmm...
      • Maybe Adam had no idea that Eve brought him the fruit from the forbidden tree? - he was "with her" (said the bible, so...)
      • Were Cain and Abel twins? probably not Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord.” And again, she bore his brother Abel. (Gen 4:1-2)
      • How long did Noah take to build the ark? 120 years !!!
      • What did Noah do to the ark after they left it? Hmm...I don't know! =)

      Kindergarten: S-s Sun
      S-s cards

      She tried hard in writing neatly.


      Made the S book
      I used the coloring of "S" here and the rest of the pictures from here (I bought it during the "Pay as you wish" sale and I don't quite think it's worth it to pay $10 for it, my personal opinion)

      Did some Sun craft

      Read some Sun books (and Big Sis read some to her)

      Learnt that "Jesus is the light of the world"

      Watched "S" video from Sesame street

      And she continued using the 100-day Calendar
      Math page
      Cuisenaire rods (more difficult for this girl than my last)


      we did some fun ipad apps (this one is from Lakeshore and I like it a lot but I got it for free and it's $1.99 now)
      Sticker book we got from Aldi!
      Discrimination page
      Drawing page!


      And we made sunbread! We read the book many years back. I am okay with the book so we didn't read it again this time. But could not resist making the bread though. And we used our favorite recipe for the bread (we did use part whole wheat flour)



      Homeschooling Ideas
      I learnt it is great fun and great learning to have the older ones read to the younger ones this week. I enjoyed the picture very 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 .
