Week #2

Learning Log for Week of September 7th - 11th

My favorite thing this week in school was reading my book.
I also liked taking my Unit 1 math test.
 I earned some money from getting 100%
 on the test so I could buy my soccer goalie gloves.

Homeroom:

This week I started working with the different programs in homeroom.  I really like brain pop junior. I like watching videos, especially the one where I learned about weights and the one on measurements.  I watched a video on how to write paragraphs that can help me with my next report on the history of soccer.

Math:

I was able to take my Unit 1 test.  This week in math I learned to add multiple digits, skip counting by 2 and 10, and regrouping. I helped my mom bake cookies and learned about different measurements in the kitchen.  

English/Language Arts:

I did my journal writing each day this week, one day I wrote about soccer and then another day I wrote about my blanket and drew a picture of it.  I kept reading my book, The Haunted Library, I am on chapter 8. We still don't know who the library ghost is, but I think it is Kaz's brother Finn.  I checked out the second book in the series from the library.

Science:

This week we talked more about different vertebrates. I also got a lady bug land kit, I couldn't find a lady bug, but I was able to catch a fly and I put peas in it from him eat, but then I let him go after a few hours.  I want to catch a bee.  We learned about invertebrates before we did vertebrates, so I wanted to see the different parts of the insect up close.  I want to buy a microscope so I can put things under it to look at.

Tech

This week I started working on my lego class. My first project is Dancing Birds and I am excited to finish the project.  My legos came with a CD instruction, but my computer doesn't play CD's so my dad and I are trying to figure out how to download the instructions to the computer. We got a new camera for my sister's digital photography class and I have been able to look at it a little bit and see how it works.

P.E.

It has been fun week in soccer. This week I had soccer practice Monday and Wednesday.  We had a game Thursday night, it was a tie.  On Friday nights they do this thing called soccer shoot outs.  This was the first week so me and my little brother went.  We have to practice shooting the ball into the goal. After soccer shoot outs I got to go to sports authority and get a mouthguard because you are 8 times more likely to get hurt in the mouth in soccer than football.  I earned the money to pay for it from working in my grandma and grandpa's front yard.
