1st Grade, Rome to Reformation Week 20: Castles, Chivalry, monks, Sam/Ruth/Samson

BIBLE

We memorized 1 Cor 12:1-8
We continued to read on Luke and the life of Jesus.

 We also read about St Francis of Assisi

And this is the song we listened to.
For Lil Sis, we read about Samuel, Ruth and Samson.


This is a sewing page. =)


HISTORY

We learnt about the castles, the knights and chivalry.
We made this pop up card. Very cool. But mom did much of the work.
The kids did enjoy using the "pen knife" (as Singaporeans would call it).

We had the monastery lunch. We bought canned split pea soup. It is mommy's favorite soup, but none of the kids enjoyed it. I gave them crusty bread instead of dark bread. So, that saved part of lunch.
We were absolutely silent for 5 minutes. The kids would not be able to take the silence for the entire lunch. After that, they said, it felt like we were mad at each other. =)

Then we had the medieval meal that we did not last week. I made "hand pies", thick corn chowder (they probably served stew instead) in bread bowl, and we served ginger ale. We should not have plates, but I didn't think I would be able to stand the mess.

And we ate in kind of darkness too.
No, white bread would not have been in the menu, but that's what we have.

It was fun doing the meals even though the kids were not fond of the food.

We continued to read the Door in the Wall.

We also listened to some Gregory chants.



LANGUAGE
The older kids continued on Rod and Staff English.

Lil Sis worked on her phonics, bible books and bible notebook


The older two finished up Lesson 7 åº·è»’一下 for Mandarin Chinese and Lil Sis did practice on bopomofo


We learnt two more Latin words "cum" and "figo, fixum" this week. 
We did Spelling Power.


MATH
Lil Sis was enjoying Singapore Math 1B 


SCIENCE
We had fun talking about genes and hormones.

Then we did the activity to talk about boys and girls.




ART
We used sharpies and foil (Big Sis chose plastic) to make stained glass window project. It was really fun!

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 .
