Week 21 Homeschool Report

This week is a geography week. This week we are learning North America countries. I am learning together with Ethan as well since I am poor in World Geography too. I found a good website where we can learn the name of the countries easily. I learned about this good website from one of the homeschool mom's blog. First, I download the Globalmania file and download the Sterra software to learn the geography.

To my surprise, Ethan learned all the countries of North America within one day and so did I. We managed to click on the name of the countries with no problems.

Another book that I highly recommend is The Little Man in the map. It uses a very entertaining way to introduce all the states in America. Below is what Ethan learned the first five states which resemble a little man on the map. The hat is Minnesota,the face is Iowa, the shirt is Missouri, the pant is Arkansas and the boot is Louisiana.







Social Study: Learning about Martin Luther King story.

Math: Continue on Mathletics.com and Beestar.org practice exercises. Ethan is starting doing Second Grade Math.

Language Art: Review the Adverb and Homonyms.

Reading: Read book and doing the quizzes on Bookadventure.org


For Evan, he is still doing the preschool activites and skills. This week, I let him try to use a simple tool, a tweezer, to get the pom pom balls.





This is a good Math game for little kids too. I drew four boxes with numbers. He has to put the pom pom according to the color and numbers on the certain boxes.


Making the Pine cone bird seeder.
This is an easy art project for the little kids. First, get a pine cone and spread the Peanut Butter all over it. Then, roll it over the sunflower seed which will stick on the cone. Then, put a string on top of the cone and hang it on the tree branch to attract the birds.






The boys start to play tennis again every Wednesday and Saturday for the Winter session. So far, they enjoy it. This time, they have the tennis lesson at Zina Garrison Tennis Academy which provide free lesson for the kids.
