Week #3

Learning Log for Week of September 14th - 18th

My favorite thing this week was Geography 

and learning about the Earth's Atmosphere.

Homeroom:

This week I played and listened to brain pop junior.  I watched videos on American Symbols like the liberty bell, the bald eagle, the american flag, and the statue of liberty.  It taught me that we need to respect these things because it shows us that we have our freedom.

Math:

This week in Math I learned how to skip count by 5 and that a nickel is 5 cents.  I starting learning about money and where the decimal point goes.  Also how to read the amount of money and how to write it.

English/Language Arts:

I continued writing in my journal this week.  My favorite thing I wrote about was a run that my sister and I went on with my mom one morning.  We went running around our neighborhood and I drew a picture of my black running shoes.  I finished my reading book, "The Haunted Library."  We now know who the library ghost is, it's Claire's Grandma!  She pretended to be a ghost so that more people would come to her library.  Because Claire and Kaz figured out the mystery, they made up their own detective agency called "CK ghost detectives." I started reading the second book called, "The Ghost in the Attic," this book I hope is about how Kaz finds his family.

Science:

This week we talked about is physical geography.  It is made up of atmosphere, lithosphere, and hydrosphere. Atmosphere is the air around us.  Without the atmosphere the sun would burn us to death and at night we would freeze.  Atmosphere protects us.  The atmosphere gives us air and water.  Lithosphere is the study of land and hydrosphere is the study of water, because hydro is water.

Tech

I built my dancing birds, it was fun.  I made them tweet, chirp, and spin.  There are buttons that you can build and have them do different things to program them to do.

P.E.

We had soccer practice Monday night, but then Wednesday night they canceled because of the rain.  The mailman brought my goalie gloves this week and I am going to use them the next week for my games.  I had soccer shoot outs on Friday night, I learned to block and kick hard.  My game went well....it was 4-6...we were winning most of the game, but the last part of the game one of the players from the other team came running and made two goals.
