Cycle 2 Week 2

Here is the plan for class next Monday. If anything changes it will be updated after class.

Timeline:

We'll sing through the timeline cards then I'll have one child remove a card and give it to me while the other kids close their eyes. Then we'll see if they can guess which card is missing. We'll sing through it again and another kid will get a turn to remove a card. We'll do this until every kids has had a chance to remove a card.

History:

Each Student will have a turn to "split" the church. I printed out an outline of a church, folded it in half and creased it really well down the middle. I then started a small tear in the top.

Here is a picture of my 5 year old "splitting" the church. 

Just have them pull from the top corners. 

Now it is ready to use for Fine Arts Mirror Image.

"Can I do that again, Mom?"

During the song, one child will split their church; one child will be William the Conqueror and "defeat"(with a fake sword) King Harold, which will be represented by another child falling on the floor. Then, we will rotate. 

Here's the document of the church outline:

Latin:

We will review our Latin from last week by starting low on the floor and whispering the singular then jumping up and shouting the plural. 

Science:

H- pretend to eat spread out fingers like leaves.

C- pretend to eat opposite arm like meat.

O- pretend to eat finger leaves then arm meat.

English:

Kids take turns drawing an "Action Stick" (Popsicle sticks with actions written on one end) from a cup. We do that action while chanting the definition of a pronoun.

Math:

3's- I have a chalk board in my CC room so I will be writing the 3's in chalk. We'll sing through the 3's then I'll have one of the kids come up and erase one of the numbers using a wet paintbrush. We'll sing them again then another kid will erase a number and we'll sing again, and so on, until every kid has had a turn.

4's- We'll sing through the fours and do the Dot - to - Dot I made.

Geography:

We will find our European Waters and mark them with Map Friends.

Here are some ideas you can use for Map Friends:

Small plastic toys your kids have laying around:

Images printed off and "laminated" with tape:

Here is the document of the "Map Friends" we printed off. You can pick anything your child or class is interested in though.

Fine Arts:

Book: Mirror Mirror by Marilyn Singer

We will mostly just look at some of the pictures and talk about mirror image. 

This is my favorite picture from the book: 

I will have the kids glue half of their spit church from History onto a piece of paper and draw the mirror image.

Then, as time allows, we will color and decorate our churches with mirror images as well.
