Our campus has this week off due to our facility’s schedule. At home, we’ll be focusing on our other curriculum, reviewing all memory work, and perhaps doing a few projects we didn’t get around to yet. But, I know many of you are probably meeting as usual, so I wanted to share my week 5 links anyhow.
History – Roman Empire Split info
– Punic Wars & Hannibal Info
Science – Bill Nye Invertebrate Video Part 1, Part 2, Part 3
– DIY sea jelly in a bottle
– Invertebrate/Vertebrate sorting
– Invertebrate Insects and Aquatic Cards
Math – Hundreds Chart
Geography – Nile River Delta model
For history, I’ll be reading the info to my littles and asking them to tell me something that stood out to them as interesting during the reading. I’ll write out what they say and include it in their notebooks. This is an early writing activity designed to help them formulate their thoughts.
I have not watched all of the Bill Nye videos, so please screen them for your family. I’m excited about all of the science resources for this week!
And finally, for geography, I’m thinking we must do this model! My boys have turned on the hose several times to flood a channel in our backyard in hopes of creating their own Nile. I love them for it, but I don’t really want my yard turned into a swamp. Perhaps this model will be a happy compromise? Here’s hoping!
When we do week 5 and complete other projects, I’ll share them!
P.S. – Be on the lookout for upcoming posts with peeks into different ways we organize our schooling at home!
This is so very helpful! I was frazzled and overloaded with choices and you are such a help! 🙂
Raquel, because I too can get overwhelmed with my options, it helps me so much to make these lists of my favorite ideas & plans. It’s so fun for me to share them & I’m so glad you’ve found ideas you like here! : )
