1st Grade, Rome to Reformation Week 26: Ottoman, Spain, Man on Mat, apostles, farmer

BIBLE

We memorized Philippians 2:5-9

We started reading Philippians

For Lil Sis, we read about man on the mat, apostles, farmer and the seeds.

HISTORY

We learnt about the Ottoman Turks, Ferdinand and Isabella, and Henry the Navigator

Since there are no more read alouds for the year, I started reading "Still More Stories from Grandma's Attic" to the kids. They really like the books. I got the book for free on Amazon Kindle.

LANGUAGE

The older kids continued on Rod and Staff English.

Lil Sis worked on her bible story reading and bible notebook.

The older two did revisions on Lesson 5-8 康軒一下 for Mandarin Chinese and Lil Sis did practice on bopomofo

We learnt two more Latin words "luna" and "inter" this week.

I found an interesting game for Lil Sis to practice her sight words. I typed in the words instead of using the Dolch List.

The older kids continued to read books of interest to them, like Boxcar Children, Winnie the Pooh, and such. I am introducing new books to them, like Pippi Longstocking, Sugar Creek Gang, Choose Your Own Adventure series. You can see what they are reading from the links below.

MATH

Big Sis did 98% on her test for 3A. Really amazing! Now she is going on to 3B.

SCIENCE

We learnt about the moon this week.

We talked about reflection of the light for the moon.

They did the summary pages.

ART

We drew human forms this week.

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 .
