Kindergarten - What We Did This Week - Week 2

BIBLE
This week we studied about God's World and how He created everything. We focused on the first 3 days. We memorized the verse Genesis 1:1 - In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.

READING
This week we did a review of the short vowel sounds. I was thrilled that Luke remembered what we learned last year.

SPELLING
This week we did a review of 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 bonds. We looked at numbers and their makeups (ie 6 = 0+6, 1+5, 2+4, 3+3, 4+2, 5+1, 6+0). Luke did pretty good once we used some manipulative blocks.

SCIENCE
This week we continued 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 continued working on God's Story (His Story AKA History). We drew a timeline between beginning (Creation), Christ's 1st coming, and Christ's second coming. We 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 Japan. We located Japan on the map, colored the map, colored and learned about the flag, learned fascinating facts about Japan, learned "Hello" and "Thank You" in Japanese, made a lapbook entry, made Japanese Origami, made a Japanese necklace, and are planning to go out for Japanese food. It was awesome.

ELECTIVES

SPANISH
We focused on greetings ("Hola," "Como te llamas?," "Me llamo _________," "Como estas?," "Estoy __________," and "Adios."


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 Japan.

ART

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

PE
We went to the park a bunch of times.

CO-OP
Co-Op went great. Luke loved his classes, I loved my classes, and Nathan did great in the nursery. Here is a rundown of how it went: http://organizedhomeschooling.blogspot.com/2011/08/our-1st-day-of-co-op.html
