Our days in Poland

Time in Poland has passed very quickly - we are already back in Taiwan.

My plan of catching up with my blog has not worked out at all. How could I think that I would have more time in my Parents' house than at home? Although we didn't leave Warsaw and didn't even visit many places in the city, but ... I still didn't have time.
In the mornings I tried to have an hour or two of lessons with Jaś. Later it was time to do some shopping, cleaning, cooking, baking for the coming Christmas. In the evenings we were either visiting friends or had visitors over at our house.

Zosia was busy with ... her school. Every time she comes to Poland she visits a school that her friend goes to. She became good friends with all the kids in the class and likes participating in their lessons and activities. This time she not only attended a few days of school, but also took part in the gift exchange on St.Nicholas Day, helped sell cookies to raise the money for a class trip and joined others for a museum lesson at the National Arts Museum. On the last day of school before Christmas holidays Zosia was even invited for a class Christmas party.
And who says that homeschooled kids are not socializing and can't get along with peers attending school?

A week before Christmas Tim joined us in Poland and the real Christmas shopping started - Christmas tree, presents, food to take back to Taiwan...

During all that time one or another of us had a cold - runny nose, cough etc. Nothing serious, but simply inconvenient.

Now we are back in Taiwan trying to get over the jet lag. Somehow this time it's not easy - Jaś and Ania keep falling asleep at 1-2 am and don't get up until 11-12 in the morning and I feel sleepy whole day ...

Animals Classification Lapbook

Last week Jaś has been very busy working on the animal classification lapbook. Lately it's been very difficult to get him interested in doing any kind of project, but to my surprise he has finished this lapbook in just a few days! I am really proud of him. I used a ready lapbook template from the wonderful Homeschool Share website, but I asked Jaś to writ all the information in his own handwriting instead of just printing the prepared text. Here are the photos of his lapbook: Jaś adding the finishing touches to the lapbook cover: Lapbook cover: The inside of the lapbook: Inside 'Classifying Living Things ': Animals with and without backbones are called:  Inside 'What are the four main Invertebrate Classes?': Inside 'What are the five Vertebrate Classes?': Mollusk characteristics Annelid characteristics: Arthropod characteristics: Echinoderm characteristics: Fish characteristics: Reptile char

Czworokąty - lapbook

Niedawno pisałam o Jasia lapbooku o TRÓJKĄTACH . Teraz czas na pokazanie naszego lapbooka o CZWOROKĄTACH.  Praca w toku Już prawie gotowy Strona tytułowa Kilka słów o trapezach Równoległoboki I na koniec - prostokąty i kwadraty Taka forma uporządkowania wiadomości geometrycznych bardzo Jaśkowi odpowiada. Wszystko jest przedstawione jasno i przejrzyście. No i zawsze można wrócić do takiego lapbooka, otworzyć go i przypomnieć sobie co nie co.

Skąd się bierze 13-ty miesiąc w roku?

Tak zwany kalendarz chiński jest kalendarzem księżycowo-słonecznym, gdyż jest oparty na ruchu księżyca i słońca. Często jest też nazywany kalendarzem księżycowym, kalendarzem rolniczym 農曆 [nónglì] , kalendarzem Yin 陰曆 [yīnlì] lub też starym kalendarzem 舊曆 [jiùlì]. Czy wiecie, że czasami w kalendarzu księżycowym jest 13 miesięcy? I właśnie w tym roku będziemy mieć taką sytuację. Miesiąc to czas pełnego obrotu Księżyca wokół Ziemi. Księżyc okrąża Ziemię w ciągu 27,3 dnia. Z kolei Ziemia okrąża Słońce w 365 dób, 5 godzin, 48 minut i 46 sekund. Po obliczeniach okazuje się, że jeden rok słoneczny równa się 12 7/19 miesiąca księżycowego lub też 19 lat słonecznych równa się 235 miesiącom księżycowym. Jest to podstawa kalendarza księżycowo-słonecznego, a więc również kalendarza chińskiego. Innymi słowy: Chiński kalendarz opiera się na fazach księżyca. Miesiące chińskie zaczynają się od nowiu i pełnia księżyca wypada 15 dnia miesiąca. Ponieważ nów jest co 29½ dnia, chińskie miesiące kale
