New Grammar:
1- Geography: Played hopscotch with the Knight figures. Sung to the tune of “The Ants Go Marching.”
*** Each student was given a Geography passport! Every week that they learn new geography they will get a new stamp in their passport. Today the kids earned a stamp for week 1!
2- Timeline: Played battleship with dinosaur puppets
3- Math: Mathercise- various exercises as kids said their 1s and sang their 2s skip counting
4-Science: Sung to the 12 days of Christmas. Jumped through ladder as we sang each day.
5- Latin: passed a present around and when it landed at their spot each kid did a fun action. To remember 1st conjugation present tense…When someone gives you a present, you say “OH thank you.” It begins with O.
6- English: 8 parts of speech chant. Sat and kept a rhythm…pat clap pat clap while we said the chant.
7- History: Learned hand movements and sang.
Week 1 Playlist: https://share.yoto.co/s/0odIUKrwxDSiYer3bvJm1V
(Ms. Aubrey made this awesome playlist for us to use! It includes all of the memory work in the format that I taught it in class. You can use this on your phone or play on your Yoto player. You don’t need a Yoto player to use!)
Art: We learned about OiLS! We learned the 5 basic elements of shape and practiced drawing them.
O = circles: enclosed shapes of only curved lines that are NOT colored in.
i =
1. dots: enclosed shapes of only curved lines that ARE colored in
2. Straight lines
L = angled lines
S = curved lines that are not enclosed
We will use these 5 basic elements as we learn to draw over the next 6 weeks!
Students then learned to draw a little knight using the OiLS we learned.
They decorated their drawing with Oil pastels.
Science:
We used the Scientific Method to explore two Experiments:
1: Experiment #2 SHADED
Question: Is there a difference in temperature in the shade compared to in the sun?
Analysis: the temperature of the thermometer in the sun was higher than the temperature of the same surface in the shade.
Biblical connection: Psalm 121:5 The Lord protects you as the shade protects you from the sun.
2: Experiment #17 SAME PLACE
Question: Why do some satellites appear to be stationary (stand still) in the sky?
Analysis: The satellite had to move much faster than the Earth in order to appear stationary.
Conclusion: The earth rotates around its axis every 24 hrs. Geostationary satellites are placed 22,500 miles above the Earth. They move approximately 18,000 mph, which gives them an orbital period of 24 hrs, the same as that of the Earth. This is why from Earth the satellites appear to be standing still.
Biblical Connection: Psalm 8:3-4 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
I hope you all have a blessed week! See yall Tuesday!! Please let me know if you have any questions or need help.
I will be traveling to NM tomorrow but I’ll be back on Monday. Have a good week!
