2022-2023 Week 3

 This week was extra fun because there was a few days' break (Labor Day). First, Daddy surprised us by treating us to One Vanderbilt Summit.


We live in an amazing city and often we take it for granted.

Then on Labor Day, we went to Old Westbury Gardens and it was a great time with the grandparents.

We started the Story Of the World spine for our year. For every lesson there is a map, outline, and review questions. I really like it. I made some review questions into google quizzes.

We studied the Sepoy Mutiny, Japan Reopens, and the Crimean War this week.
And the girls did a post test with flying colors. We just need to work on spelling.

Lil Sis joined a co-op (first time in our homeschooling life!) for her 8th grade Biology.  I think she will have a blast.

Baby Sis read about the Gold Rush (she was ok with it) and did some fun activities.


Lava Lamp! (learning on density!) We did it without alka seltzer.

This one with salt, so fun!

Kindergarten S-s Sun!

We are going on to the tens! I love the idea (from the group) on the beads. I think it really help with the place value teaching.

He is memorizing this over 2 weeks.

Not crazy about finishing the rods for sun =)

The krototak project on sun is fun!



We come up with words that begin with S.

He watches/plays on abcmouse sometimes.

Shadow art was fun!

Teach Me app is one of our favs

I did not use the MFW worksheets this year. Instead I found these. She has different level and I really like them.

This was fun!

We talked about the globe and sun and it's always helpful in this teaching that grandma lives on the OTHER side of the globe.

abcya.com was fun too! We played it on the PC (he needs to learn to use the mouse) because it's free.

Other things

When your 4 year old asks for a BIG map so he can write in the states, guess what? You do it!


He made pretzels with me adn we did some counting. We cut the dough into two, and each piece into 3, and then doubled again. He counted them to be 12. Then we put 5 on a tray and 7 on another, and he found it fun to count them to 12 again. Math while making lunch? Homeschool rocks!

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 .
