1st Grade, Rome to Reformation Week 7: Jesus Born, Ear

BIBLE

This week we memorized verses for the Roman Road to Salvation. I thought this will be quite a good tool for them, since we were already memorizing some Roman verses.

We did
Rom 3:23, 6:23, 5:8 and 10:9-10

Lil Sis memorized Proverbs 10:19
Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.

We also started to read on the account of Jesus' birth and life from the gospels.
HISTORY

We learnt about Augustus Caesar as the Emperor and also the philosophers.

We put up the timeline for Jesus' birth and we talked about why it is 5 B.C. and not 1 A.D.

And we made a dessert for Roman Road! =) We adapted the recipe from here

The Sand Layer (crushed graham crackers)

Mortar and rocks. (pudding and chocolate chips)

cement (cream cheese and whipped cream)

stone slabs (Marie biscuits)

Most of the Bronze Bow this week was listened to the digital audiobook we borrowed from the library

LANGUAGE

The older kids continued on Rod and Staff English. Big Sis did a test for Chapter 1.

For Lil Sis I found this site with great phonics printables!! They are REALLY good "books" for practice and they are free. We practiced the "oo" sounds and the "or", "ar" books.

The older two had their review test for Lesson 1-4 康軒一下 for Mandarin Chinese.

We learnt two more Latin words "mille" and "annus" this week.

We did Spelling Power.

MATH

Lil Sis continued to do worksheets on addition.

SCIENCE

We learnt about the Ear this week and it was super fun!

This is the model we made.

We learnt that the size of the outer ear DOES matter when it comes to hearing.

We also learnt about balance with regards to the ear.

ART

We drew books this week, learning from the vanishing line.

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 .
