Homeschooling: CC - Cycle 2 - Weeks 4, 5, and 6

I am late posting what we did for weeks 4 and 5. We have a busy week and weekend ahead of us, so here is what we've been doing and what we have planned for the week.

History

Week 4:

The Magna Carta and the Hundred Years War. Blaine colored while I read.

Week 5:
The Hundred Years' War, Joan of Arc, and the Plague (age appropriate discussions with some sword fighting play involved).

Week 6:
The Renaissance!  Specifically, we are learning about Shakespeare, daVinci,  Copernicus, and Michelangelo.  I plan on elaborating a little on each of them throughout the week and coloring these as we go.

I'm going to show Blaine this virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel. Something fun that I am planning on doing is taping some paper to the bottom of our junior size table and laying on our backs to draw and color.

Geography: More puzzles!

Week 4:

European Rivers (printable)

Week 5:
European Cities (printable)

Week 6:
European Mountains (printable)

English: Cut and paste activities each week.

Week 4:
Nominative Pronouns

Week 5:
Objective Pronouns
<temporarily down>

Week 6:
Possessive Pronouns

Art

Week 4:

Abstract art. We classified things into 2 categories. Real or abstract. Obviously there are more categories than these 2, but for a 4 year old, these 2 will do for now. We took a field trip for a lunch date to see my oldest friend, Martine, and check out some artwork in both her condo and her gallery.

Blaine said this one was his favorite.

Week 5: Perspective
I made this cut and paste and we talked about horizons, vanishing points, and shadows.  We put the people on the sidewalk appropriately and shaded where their shadows would be according to the sun's position.

Week 6: Final Project Week
We combined the last 5 weeks of our fine arts skills and with his tutor's leadership, Blaine drew this owl mom and baby! I'm so proud of him!

Math: Skip Counting 

Week 4: 7 and 8

 Week 5: 9 and 10

 Week 6: 11 and 12

Science:
Every week we did some worksheets that I downloaded from C3.

Week 4: Natural Cycles - Carbon and Oxygen, Water, and Nitrogen 

Week 5: Reactions to environmental change - Adapt, Migrate, and Hibernate
Something funny I have to share... This week we talked about some funny things like how Daddy shaves his hair short in the summer because it is hot and how Paw Paw Chuck grows his beard out in the winter to keep his face warm. 
Week 6: 6 forms of pollution

Latin

Week 4:

We repeated last weeks 1st Conjugation Imperfect Tense exercises (here)
