After working on writing her name we worked on her spelling words and then completed her spelling and reading workbook for the week.

Forgot to take pictures of her working on in her math book this week.  We also counted apples and took a graph to see how many people would prefer green or red apples.   She asked 20 people and 12 of them preferred red apples over green.

U.S. NOTEBOOK

 

Placing Ohio on her map 

 

Learning about what pioneers schools were like 

TIMELINE

ART

 

Made a lamb by tracing the kids hands and using cotton balls for the fleece.  Wrote the memory verse on the paper as a reminder for the kids whenever they look at their picture.

  

Placed an apple on top of several books for the kids to draw it.

 

 

Their painting came out awesome.

SCIENCE

 

Playing the animal card game

 

Apple Lapbook 

          

After reading about Johnny Appleseed  we looked over our apple lapbook.  



Prepped everything to make an apple volcano.

 

Made a hole in the middle of an apple and placed some baking soda inside it, filled a cup with vinegar and green food coloring with droppers for the kids to drop in the baking soda.



The expressions on their face never gets old.

 

My science report :)



Kanani's science report 

NATURE WALK

Kids enjoyed eating apples and trying some with chocolate and caramel my favorite.

VIDEOS
We watched a video on YouTube about an apple orchid and the many ways they use apples.

ACTIVITIES

 

Kids decorated sugar cookies at our co-op Christmas party



They made Christmas ornaments with their school pictures.


 
In our 4H homeschool group we made Christmas cards to handle out to the Health & Rehabilitation Center and the kids also sang Christmas carols.  

This week we learned about Ohio, what Pioneer school was like, animals, apples, and Jesus being the lamb of God.  Also had a Christmas party at our co-op and made Christmas cards for a home and went caroling with our 4H homeschool group.  We've had a very eventful week.

GOD BLESS!!

READING



Not sure what the title of this book was but the author is Margaret Hillert

This week she did most of her reading from the bible and stories we read together.

Writing her memory verse and then she worked on her spelling and language workbooks.

MATH



Working on greater than and less than in her math workbooks

U.S. NOTEBOOK

        

Making cotton out of cotton balls 



Cotton with green seeds inside them



Adding Tennessee to her map.



Coloring her worksheet

TIMELINE



Added Eli Whitney to our timeline 

ART



Instead of building their project at Home Depot we decided to build it home, there was just too many people there.  Even Larry Boy got in the action of building.



Builders hard at work.



Once they were done building their Gingerbread Houses they went straight to painting to them.



Once the paint was dry on their house they decorated them with stickers.

SCIENCE

 

Read about animal cells and then she drew her own animal cell and we made a model out of styrofoam ball and glued and painted different pieces to it to represent the cell.  We decided not to do a jello one and make one we could keep around for a long time. 

 

Labeling her animal cell 

NATURE WALK

Went to my parents house and observed how my dad's garden was growing.

VIDEOS



Had a movie night, nothing to do with what we were studying. 

ACTIVITIES



Made a winter sensory bin for them to play with together, love how they use their imagination with the items in the bin.  Of course Zeus was close by, he is always close to the kids their very own guard dog.

 

Added a penguin sensory bin with fake snow, which is 1 part baking soda to 2 parts conditioner.  It feels cold to the touch and hold pretty good.



Kids went to Home Depot for their monthly workshop and got to take a picture with Santa.

This week we learned about Tennessee, Eli Whitney, cotton, animal cells, cells, how bacteria grows, and we built our own 3D model of an animal cell.  Kanani really enjoyed making the cell and can't wait for us to build a 3D model of a plant cell.  So happy for her love of learning, pray that it only grows as time goes by.

GOD BLESS!!
