This week we will explore on how teeth grow. I made the cards so we can look into the permanent set and discuss the functions of each. Download the file by clicking the image below.

We try to have an art class every Friday as what I indicated in our October Calendar. I bought new sets of paint last week, they’re 80% organic, non-toxic, water washable and doesn’t have the strong smell like that of Crayola. So my son had a renew interest in painting and he’s been doing it randomly not just during Friday.
This idea was from a picture I saw in my Facebook newsfeed and I wanted to try it with Mavi, teaching him the colour progression… from light to dark or the other way around.
He picked the primary colours and the green. We added 3 drops of white paint each time we lighten the colours. Son totally enjoyed this activity! He especially loves the part wherein we changes the shade of the colour and he gets excited to see the effect.
So here’s Mavi’s work and mine. I didn’t get to finish my work as I ended up assisting him in his colour mixtures.
As an extra work, he ended up mixing the primary colours…. to produce secondary colours so he can paint a rainbow. A few years ago we had colour mixing activities, you can pay it a visit as it became really popular and was featured in other blogs as well.
I’m so happy of his renewed interest! And with the new paints, I can allow him to do lots of art works without worrying of the strong paint smell :D
Follow Pinay Homeschooler's board Art and Crafty Inspirations on Pinterest.I mentioned in Facebook that this activity (one to one correspondence) of numbers is one of my son’s favourite works. Here, we used the number symbol cards, Montessori beads, counting finger cards, dot cards, number words and bear counters.
You can get the number cards, tally and finger counting cards from this post of Linton Academy. The number dots were made by yours truly. Unfortunately, I lost the file and couldn’t retrieve it. But this is so easy to do. The number words were homemade as well (handwritten).
Enjoy!

Continuing our World History study, we read about the people of Egypt and the richness of the Nile River. We pinpoint the location of the river in the map and how the civilization of the Egyptians started in this great river.
After reading Chapter 2 of the SOTW, we proceeded immediately with the mini-projects it suggested. One of which is creating a model of the Nile River. We could have done this outside, but the weather has been really terrible this week so we made use of our art crafts at home and whatever we could find to make our model as close to the description of the river.
Below in the picture, Mavi using blue crepe paper for the river forming a delta going to the Mediterranean Sea. Here we discussed what is a “delta”. A good review of our landform lesson.
He added some playdough to plant our mini trees (from our front yard) and made pyramids out of LEGO bricks.
I added accent to his project by painting the base with green paint to represent some lush farmlands. And this completed his Nile River Project!
Next I will be sharing our map work and the first mummies :D
