MFW 1st Grade Days 107-111

SCIENCE: Water pressure We happened to have this kit which is really really fun for the kids Made a shepherd bag (because of David) and the kids were just elated! Good thing my machine has a presser-foot-free function. Easier on them. PRESCHOOL Button snake iPad: ABC Sketch Pad (quite a good practice) free Bible Verse Copywork We used an iPad app to teach on the harp (David plays) and listen to the sounds of them. (now for $1.99, I got it for free) We also went on youtube to see the real harps. More Math additions and subtractions We read the Rag Coat and did some FIAR activities on it (not completed yet) and we read the Cloak for the dreamer along with it (even though that's on shapes) Learning about the Appalachia Mountains and the states it runs through. Other read-alouds this week. I really like the Seven Silly Eaters. So funny!!

SCIENCE : Mixing Water We mixed laundry soap, shampoo, jell-O, flour, soy sauce, sugar and oil and we recorded which is lighter than water Then we attempted to mix them up and realize only oil can't really mix with water The very yucky everything mix (the kids wanted it) CHARACTER FIRST! : Generosity realizing that I am a trustee of what I have and using everything for its best purpose. We learnt how the pelican gives and gives and gives. We watched a video on how the pelican ate fish. WE made a pelican origami We recycled stuff (since using things to the best purpose also means recycling) We did some worksheets And we used a recycled can to do some gravitational Science project.
