Kindergarten - What We Did This Week - Week 1

BIBLE
This week we studied about God's Word and how He uses the Bible to teach us His ways. We memorized the verse Psalm 25:4 - Show me Your ways, O Lord, teach me Your paths. We did the story of how Samuel heard from the Lord and followed what He told him to do. Our theme song for the week was "Holy Bible, Book Divine."

READING
This week we did a review of the phonetical sounds of each letter of the alphabet (including the short vowel sounds). I was thrilled that Luke remembered what we learned last year.

SPELLING
This week we did a review of the phonetical sounds of each letter of the alphabet (including the short vowel sounds). I was thrilled that Luke remembered what we learned last year.

HANDWRITING
This week we did review lessons of letters we learned last year.

MATH
This week we focused on number order. We did the numbers 0-10 forward and backwards. I was really happy that Luke did great going either way (ie 8,9,10 and 7,6,5).

SCIENCE
This week we started working on the 1st day of creation. We are working on memorizing Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

HISTORY
This week we started working on God's Story (His Story AKA History). It was a great intro and we will finish up next week. We drew our family tree and focused on how God has a plan for everything from Creation through Christ through today waiting for Christ to return.

GEOGRAPHY
This week we went to China. We located China on the map, colored the map, colored and learned about the flag, learned fascinating facts about China, learned "Hello" and "Thank You" in Mandarin, made a lapbook entry, made Chinese lanterns, made a Chinese fan, and went out for Chinese food. It was awesome. To see more about our week in China, check out this post: http://organizedhomeschooling.blogspot.com/2011/08/expedition-earth-asia-china.html

ELECTIVES

SPANISH
This week we made an intro page and learned "Me llamo (name)".

PIANO
We didn't do a piano lesson this week.

MUSIC

We didn't study a composer this week because we didn't have a composer for China.

ART

We didn't study an artist this week because we didn't have an artist for China.

PE
We went to the park 3 days and the pool 2 days. Not to mention the running around the house. ;)

CO-OP
We officially start Co-Op next week, but we did take a tour on Thursday and met some new homeschool friends. :)
