MFW Exploration to 1850 WEEK 7: King Charles I and II, Maryland, Flowers

Bible

This week we revised Bible memory James 1:1-11.

And we memorized James 1:12-18

After a while we were kind of forgetting 1:1-11, we revised it by listening to youversion's audio. The reader is really good!

We use these to help us.

We learnt "Now Thank We All Our God".

History

We learnt about King Charles I, Oliver Cromwell, King Charles II, and Lord Baltimore (and Maryland)

This book gives really funny tidbits

We continued reading Amos Fortune.

Language

We continued with Spelling. Lil Sis is really getting a hang of Spelling. It was cool to see.

We continued with Mandarin Chinese.

And that's how we do Spelling for three levels. I'll read a word to every one. Then correct, then read again. MULTI-TASK at its best!

Science

Our flower that we preserved two weeks ago. This is pretty cool!!

We learnt about the pollinators this week. It was really fun.

Art

We are using Artistic Pursuits K-3 (Book 2) this year.

We did blending of water colors this week.

A side fun note.

My older two wakes at about 6-6:30am and they would do their Math and English. Hubby woke up early one day and took this picture. It warms our hearts to see their diligence at work. Even Lil Sis will join in once in a while now (if she wakes up early).

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 .
