Week #5

Learning Log for Week of September 28th - October 2nd 

My favorite thing this week was that I got to do artwork with science.

Homeroom:

This week for Homeroom my brother and I went onto BrainPop Jr.and watched video's on mass, kilograms, weight , height, and graphs. We took quizzes, we first took an easy quiz and then a hard quiz.  My favorite thing was taking the quizzes.

Math:

This week in Math I learned more with money, this week how to add money.  I completed Unit 11 in Math U See where you learn to round to 100.  I started Unit 12 and will finish next wee.  In Unit 12 I am learning where the decimal point goes for money and how to add money up. 

English/Language Arts:

I wrote each day in my journal book. One of my entries was about my indoor soccer shoes, college football games, and P.E. at the park. I am still reading my Ghost in the Attic Book. We met a new character, his name is Eli.  Eli is mean to Mrs. Beesley, who Claire and Kaz are helping to find her ghost.  Mrs. Beesley hires Eli do chores, but if he doesn't do a good job she makes him do the job over again.  So Eli plays tricks on Mrs. Beesley to get back at her.  

Science:

This week we talked more about the water cycle and actually made a science experiment.  We took a zip lock bag and drew on it the water cycle and then filled water in the bottom of the zip lock bag and dyed the water blue.  We tapped it to a window and watched it for a few days to see the water cycle in action.  We also did reports on the different clouds, mine was on Cumulus clouds, I presented it to a small group. Cumulus Clouds are big and puffy on the top, but flat on the bottom. We also made a craft out of paper and cotton balls to show what the different types of clouds look like.

Tech

In my Lego Robotic Class I made the "drumming monkey" this week.  It was probably my second hardest to build because you had to built the arms and the head.  I liked that it could drum, I went to the kitchen and got different bowls to try having the monkey play on.

P.E.

We had soccer practice Monday night and Wednesday night.  I was suppose to have a game on Friday night, but they canceled it.  But Saturday's game was good and I scored a free kick.  There were actually two more players blocking the goal, but I scored!
