I don't know about you guys, but I feel like week 3 was the best yet!! Your kiddos are doing so well, and are getting more and more involved, and really LEARNING! It's really exciting and rewarding to see. :)
Recap of Week 3:
- History: Timeline cards #15-21, Greek & Roman Gods
- Geography: Hebrew Empire
- English: Prepositions - along, amid, among, around, at, atop
- Latin: Noun Endings - 1st Declension
- Math: Skip Counting 5's & 6's
- Science: Some Parts of an Animal Cell
Our Science project was called "Blending" and in Fine Arts we learned about "Upside Down Images".
GEOGRAPHY: This is the story I used to go along with the Hebrew Empire - The lion of JUDAH lumbered slowly up through ISRAEL with JORDAN (R) the jaguar. Then they got thirsty and went back to get a drink in the DEAD SEA. “Too salty!” so they used the PHOEN-ICIA to call the SEA OF GALILEE to make sure it tasted better.
ENGLISH: We got the hand motions for the preposition song from a video on YouTube. Just do a search for "Classical Conversations Preposition Song". It should be the first one that shows up (not the first ad, the first actual search result). It's a mom with 2 kids - one teenage girl, and a young boy standing in the grass. Come to find out, I had been doing the motion for "about" wrong. ;) Sorry about that!
SCIENCE: We did a song for parts of an animal cell, and the file is on CC Connected. They have renamed the section that used to be called File Share, and it is now called Classical Sharing Center. Also if you haven't been on CC Connected today, they have updated their online tutorials!! Yay! Everything is up to date, and they have even added Timeline! I'm really excited about that. :)
Ok back to science - the file is called "science c1 week3.mp3" by username haleyp, and no it's not me! That actually caught me off-guard when I saw my name. Haha.
Week 4 presentation is "Share a favorite bible verse." Next week, I'm going to be paying close attention to volume - speaking with appropriate loudness so the audience can hear them (it's listed on the presentation schedule).
Again, review review review! The date to bring in ice cream sheets is September 2nd (week 6)! This is a really exciting day for the kids! I made the mistake of forgetting Makenzie's sheet once last year, and she was devastated! Needless to say, I went back & got the sheet from home. ;) I'm not sure how it will be handled if they don't have their sheet...but to be on the safe side, don't forget it!
Thanks so much!
