Last week was a little rocky for us as we were dealing with sickness right in the middle of the week. But we persevered and finished up week 2. Pretty much every week we're not getting to do everything I've planned...but I think that's just how life is, right?! : ) Now on to week 3....and we're excited about the Boston Tea Party!
History: the Boston Tea Party
*One of the reasons we're excited is because our Liberty's Kids dvds start out with the Boston Tea Party....so we can't wait to watch that episode this week! Even if you don't have the dvd set, you can find free episodes of Liberty's Kids on YouTube and there's a link on their website. I also found a free download on Teachers Pay Teachers for a Liberty Kids viewing guide. It's free to join TPT and I've found several free downloads and many that are at a minimal price.
*Liberty's Kids also has a website that has games and fun things to do with different episodes. I know my kiddos will love this!
*I also found a Boston Tea Party coloring sheet. Most of you may know how to do this, but I figured out that I had to copy the image onto my computer and then look up the image and print.
*Here is a blog post that has LOTS of Boston Tea Party links and ideas
*YouTube also had a lot of "Crash Course" videos about history....I would say these are mostly for older kids and parents may have to screen them first.
*I have several other ideas pinned on my Pinterest board. I have 3 Classical Conversations boards that I try to pin to regularly.
Science: 3 kinds of muscles
*I found a neat worksheet here on education.com. It's a free printable : ).
*This Kids Health site has some great info on the three muscles! I'll definitely be using this!
English: past participle
*The video I posted on last week's post does a great job of explaining and comparing past and present participles
Geography: states and capitals
*still printing my state cards on crayola.com and we love the "Take a Little Trip" video
Math: counting
We usually stick to the songs on our audio cd, but here's a Schoolhouse Rock video on counting by 5's
*We didn't get around to doing our Art for Kids drawing last week...but I'm hoping this week we'll get to draw a ninja like I'd planned : ).
Have a great week!!
