Geography
The girls are tracing their continents and working on getting more intricate detail in. We used pictures of words that rhyme with each of the bodies of water we studied in Africa.Cheesy = Zambezi
Crocodile=Nile
Gloria=Victoria
Ear=Zaire
Orange=Orange (it's an easy rhyme when it's the same word!)
The girls then placed the pictures over the body of water that each correlated with and we laughed at all the silly rhymes. Each girl was able to bring home their pictures to use for review time if desired.
Math
We continued our math pokey by adding in the Area of a Rectanlge. We reviewed the previous two weeks as well. Fun times!Science.
I brought in a small model of a volcano and we talk about the four types of volcanoes. I simply used vinegar and baking soda with a little food coloring with the activity.Extinct=the model volcano with no igredients to erupt.
Dormant=The model volcano with one ingredient to erupt but nothing happens because the second ingredient hasn't been added.
Intermittent=We watched the volcano erupt and talked about the definition.
Active=We watched the volcano erupt again
English
We sang our helping verb song. Some of the girls took the time to sing a solo or with a partner in front of the group.Latin
We practiced the memory work with the CD and then played freeze dance to the song as we listened and sang along a second time.History
We listened to the memory work. Talked about some key words we heard. Then in teams of four used cardboard bricks to build an Aztec pyramid as we listened to the memory a couple of more times.Timeline
We learned the hand motions for this week's cards.Experiment
We made shell fossils. These came home with the girls as well.Fine Arts
We talked about Durer this week. We carved designs onto wood and used them as stamps on cardstock to create are materpieces.I hope you all have a blessed week!
