Lesson 4 Videos

All About Crystals in 5 Minutes - My source stated the following about this video - "nice pictures; not fond of the narrator. I do NOT agree with his last statement!" After watching the video, I have to say that I agree with all of the above statements.  (Watch after page 66)

If you have Netflix Instant you might enjoy watching Inside De Beers.  The Netflix description of this video is as follows:  "This volume of the Bloomberg series takes viewers from DeBeers's Botswana diamond mine (the richest in the world) to its London headquarters."

Diet Coke Mentos Rocket (I don't recommend trying this at home!  This was just for fun viewing.  The guy does adjust his pants in the crotch at one point seemingly without thinking about is so just a warning.  You may want to view ahead of time to determine if you want your kids to watch.)

Steel Wool and Vinegar (page 77) or
Steel Wool and Vinegar


I couldn't find a video that did the Smoke Bomb Experiment the same way the book shows it so I am substituting with a couple of similar projects.  These are for the purpose of showing the project if we do not get a chance to actually do the project ourselves.

Home Made Signal Flares (similar to experiment on page 80) or

MFW EX-1850 - Links to Hymns

I have been searching for hymns on YouTube to go along with our studies of Then Sings My Soul by Robert J. Morgan.  I would then save them on my favorites bar in my browser and then delete them after because it was crowding my favorites bar.  (Yes, I save a lot.)  Then I came up with the idea to save the links to my blog so they are easier to find and I don't have to delete them.  I had deleted the rest but may go back and see if I can find them.  I will also be adding to these as we go.  So, for now this is an incomplete list.

In the Cross of Christ I Glory
http://www.quietyoutube.com/watch?v=ZFB2UDOMDLc


Weeks 33-34
O Worship the King



You may notice the 'quiet' in front of the word youtube.  This filters out most of the ads and such so we only see the video and not everything else.  :-)

Our Time Line Book

We no longer had room for our wall timeline so I came up with my own solution.

I purchased a 14" X 8 1/2" landscape binder and 14" X 8 1/2" landscape sheet protectors from an office supply store.

I printed a thick line down the middle of several sheets of cardstock and placed them in the sheet protectors which I placed in the binder. 

I used the timeline pieces from our My Father's World curriculum to fill in the dates.

I used images from the internet and two pieces of card stock to make a custom cover sheet for our book.

My kids love to look through the book each time we place a new timeline piece in the book.

Below you can see our cover and our completed CTG pieces and some of our RTR pieces that were not yet completed but temporarily placed in the book so I could figure out the spacing that would be needed.

CTG Week 34 - Our Summer Olympics

For our last day of school we held Summer Olympics games.

Our first event was running



Dad was the finish line



Event #2 was the long jump




Event #3 was the javelin throw (or broomstick throw in our case)




Event #4 was a discus throw (a frisbee wrapped in tin foil)




Event #5 was a shot put (using a baseball)




Event #6 was going to be arm wrestling but...


ended up being thumb wrestling


We had a tie with both kids winning 3 events each
(the main reason we had an even number of events ;) )
Both participants 'won' their wreath crowns they made


The day turned out to be warmer than we expected so emotions ran a little high that day but I think they both still really enjoyed the events and their day.

CTG Weeks 32-33

CTG - Week 32

We actually accomplished some projects this week.  Our first project was a Greek pot.  Instead of doing the project listed in the CTG Teacher's Manual I decided to have the kids do a little simpler version from a project I found on the Michaels.com web site.  It can currently be found here:  http://www.michaels.com/Greek-Pot/kn1104,default,pd.html?cgid=projects&start=1

The kids each painted their pot white and let them dry.  Then I cut out squares from blue sticky backed foam.  The kids arranged the foam squares in patterns (somewhat) on their dry pots.  Pretty easy.  Not a lot of mess.  My kind of project.






After learning about Esther my husband made the Hamantachen Cookies listed in the CTG Teacher's Manual.  We ate them while watching the Nest DVD about Esther.  They were very yummy and sweet.


The Story Of Esther Video On Interactive DVD


Oh, and during our Bible reading of Esther we would say boo and make noise each time Haman's name was mentioned. The TM states: "For Jews today, Purim is still celebrated as a fun holiday. Jewish people go to the temple and listen to the story of Esther. When they hear Haman's name in the story, they make a lot of noise. They boo and hiss ans stomp their feet or shake a noise-maker..." So that's what we did.



My kids and I also really enjoy the Veggie Tales version of Esther but didn't watch it at that time.


CTG - Week 33

After reading about Greek Dramas the kids colored and cut out theater masks from History Pockets:  Ancient Civilizations.



They also made 'Olive Wreath Crowns' that we used as 'prizes' for our Olympic Games we had our last day of school.  That post is next.

The directions for the crowns can currently be found at Michaels.com here:  http://www.michaels.com/Olive-Wreath-Crown/kn1102,default,pd.html?cgid=projects&start=1
