Home-SU-Cool

PRESCHOOL She got this as Christmas present      And the sticker factory too. So she had some fun with it in school   Playdoh with the mat. Fun.   I cannot believe my 3 year old is writing her name.   Books we read for C-Cow   Learning to draw cake   Making the cow mobile       Big brother testing girl   Producer to Consumer little book And we watched videos of how to milk a cow. For city people, we can only rely on videos.   Did a wordsearch on Days of the Week

We used two weeks over Christmas and New Year to finish week 16. But with illnesses in the family and all, we didn't do that much. SCIENCE Cold air shrinks (we didn't get to do hot air expands, but we did do the pingpong trick before) Hot air rises, cold air sinks (didn't work very well) Rhode Island This is a great book, easy to finish within 10 mins.   Vermont God helped us to HAPPEN to have a bottle of VT maple syrup. So cool.   And we watched videos of how maple syrup is made and also a video of Franklin (the turtle) and maple syrup. Fun.   This is a WONDERFUL book! Esp for Ian who is learning to use the camera. DANIEL BOONE We found the lapbook here and really appreciate it!     Really like the idea of Immanuel from this. We memorized the verse well and it was so fitting right after Christmas to memorize this.  

NH : State Veg -Pumpkin NY : This is a GREAT book, esp for us in NYC State fruit: apple Learning the relative size of the Statue of Liberty (this was quite fun) Enjoying one part of Nutcracker: Pas De Deux of the sugar plum fairy NC : this book is "so-so" State veg: Sweet potato

PRESCHOOL   Tractor shapes     Measuring the farm animals using cuisenaire cubes     Poking holes on G   Old MacDonald had a farm     Blend Ladder     She can read! Yes she can!   Animal sounds   This unit reminds me to retell the gospel story to the kids, since G-Goat says "Jesus died for my sins"   They especially like "Bill Grogan's Goat" ,the song that stuck in our heads

  How much earthworms a robin (CT state bird) eats a day. 14 feet!   I love the different discussion on the bible verse, John 14:16 (Jesus is the way) This one is of us finding different ways to get to different places.   4 pennies. How heavy a chickadee is (MA state bird) We were surprised!   Tried the Farmer Boy's Popcorn in milk experiment (put a cup full of popcorn in a cup full of milk and it will not spill over)   Well, it didn't QUITE work...I don't know if because we put TOO much milk or is it because our floor is not even. Oh well. But it tasted nice! =) We can't get past Farmer Boy...it's not easy to read...or to keep his attention. Books we read (Visit to Gravensen Farm-CT, Boy on FF St- MA, Carolina Shout-SC, Amish books-PA)
