Week 4 (Didn't have time to write a lot)

HISTORY:

7 Wonders of the Ancient World

 We (all three of us) really enjoyed studying the 7 wonders of the Ancient World.  Doc worked on her lapbook.  During the summer, the kids attended Babylon themed VBS.  One of the crafts was making the Hanging Gardens.  I saved it knowing that I could use it again this week.  They planted their seeds and watered them.  They're starting to sprout now and it's kinda neat to see.

 

MATH:

I was pleasantly surprised that Doc did most of this sheet by herself.  Glad she's getting the hang of it because it allows me a little time with Superhero.

TIMELINE:

It's always helpful to have a visual; although, I like to have her be able to learn things sometimes without flashy aids.  After lining them up, she ended up with 4 rows of 7.  We happened to be memorizing skip counting by 7's this week so this was also a visual for that.  Neat how that worked out.

SCIENCE:

Parts of a Plant Cell

GEOGRAPHY:

Geography blobs (Love this post)

Week 3

HISTORY

I can't find any pics for our study of Ancient Greece but this week was fun.  Doc worked on a lapbook which included a map, a mini book of Greek gods and goddesses from the history sentence, and a section on Aesop.  We loved reading some of Aesop's Fables.    This preK pack has lots of great activities.  Our favorite was the reenactment of the Tortoise and the Hare.  I read them the story and they used the figures to tell the story.  Then, I found a Disney video of it.

MATH

Our favorite worksheets.  She's already getting the flow and starting to do some of it without me guiding her:)

SCIENCE

Something fun we did to end our study of the animal cell was that we made a pizza.  When my DH came home he was pleasantly surprised to hear words like 'cytoplasm', 'mitochondria', etc.  

PHONICS:

They learned about the letter 'M' this week.  I decided to give them a little 'homework' every week.  At the end of the week, they present things that they've found around the house that begins with the letter of the week.  I give them each a bowl and they have to say the name of each item, letter it begins with, and the sound that letter makes.  They have really enjoyed doing their presentations.
