1st Grade, Rome to Reformation Week 32: Reformation, Queen Elizabeth and Mary

BIBLE

We memorized Philippians 2:13-14

We read about John Calvin and John Knox. I decided to forego Anne Askew and the Latimer stories because I don't think the kids could take it.

HISTORY

We learnt about the spread of Reformation and Counter Reformation, Copernicus and Galileo, and Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth.

LANGUAGE

The older kids continued on Rod and Staff English.

Lil Sis continued to practice reading

The older two did a review for 康軒一下 for Mandarin Chinese and Lil Sis did practice on bopomofo

MATH

We continued to practice Math.

SCIENCE

We learnt about the Kuiper Belt and Pluto

We talked about the Pluto debate and I asked the kids to make their own stand by writing about it.

We watched little videos of Pluto. It was so cool that we got more information now that New Horizons had the fly by last year.

ART

We talked about Raphael and looked at his drawing of Sistine Madonna. It was very interesting to see that the little angels at the bottom of the artwork were more famous than the art itself. =)

Then we drew cherubs.

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 .
