MFW CtG/K Week 12-13: D-Dinosaur, Ten Plagues


4th/2nd Grade Creation to the Greeks

Ten Commandments:
I am the LORD your God...you shall have no other gods before me.
You shall not make for yourself an idol.
You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy
Honor your father and your mother
You shall not murder
You shall not commit adultery
You shall not steal

We had two weeks break for family vacation and Thanksgiving. Prior to that we did two weeks of school that was kind of sporadic too.

 Bible/History
  • Discussed and memorized the 7th and 8th commandment (we talked about stealing ideas, about being faithful to your spouses without going into deep details)
  • We also had fun with learning about the ten plagues
River Nile Turning into blood (with the help of food coloring)



We had the most fun with the frogs. We put them ALMOST everywhere... 







And our girls got a real kick out of them. =) (These were sporting reenactment, but they really had these expressions)

Plague of the Livestock

Plague of the gnats


We didn't do the activity for all the plagues but we did read the bible verses and the kids remembered the sequence of them.



Math/Science
  • Hot air takes up space
Hot air


Cold air

They LOVED this experiment because it happened so fast!

Air has weight
We didn't manage to do the balance beam experiment because they would not stay. So I chose to use a digital scale to show that air has weight. I am glad that it did show!!Should have used the "oz" function.


Language
  • Rod and Staff is going great!
  • Spelling Power for Big Bro
  • Spelling by Sight and Structure for Big Sis

To learn the words he missed for Spelling power, I asked him to write the words creatively, and also to use his non-writing hand to write the words

Foreign Language

We were on Lesson 4 on åº·è»’一上.


This was fun!

The words they can write.

Art/Music



We learnt about Bach

Continual Line drawing

Patterns



Have you wondered?
  • Big Bro asked "Since going to Jesus is a good thing, why are you afraid of us getting into accidents?" That's a great thought, son!
Kindergarten: D-d Dinosaurs









We also watched a dvd for Danny and the Dinosaur

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 .
