Week #6

Learning Log for Week of October 5th - October 9th 

My favorite thing this week was learning about a park in 

Africa called Gorongosa Park.mI want to visit there someday 

and I want to be an explorer when I grow up.

Homeroom:

This week for Homeroom my sister and I went onto Brain Pop and learned about fractions.  We played a game about fractions called Pearl Driver, it's a game where you have to dive down to find the pearls. You dive down the measurements it tells you to to find a pearl. We both really liked it!

Math:

This week in Math I did my Unit #12 and took my test.  I learned how to do column addition.  I also learned how to add numbers that are money in columns.

English/Language Arts:

I finished my book The Haunted Library, the Ghost in the Attic! Grandma Karen told Claire, her granddaughter, that she could see ghosts when she was 9 like Claire. She meet Kaz and she said she was going to help Kaz find his family.  I hope there is a next book written because I want Kaz to find his family.

Science:

My favorite thing I did this week was to find a program on PBS called, "Gorongosa Park, Rebirth of Paradise." One episode they showed different elephants and how they eat, move around, and keep their territory safe. They also showed a huge group of water birds nesting in trees.  They showed huge lions battling for their territory, the lions were named MO2, Gora, and the Mando Brothers.  They think the Mando brothers are going to win over the territory, but we don't find out till next episode.  I want to be an explorer when I grow up and find new things.  I want to visit Gorongosa Park someday.

Tech:

This week in my Robotics Class I was suppose to make the alligator.  But I found that I only have one rubber band so I ordered another rubber band from a lego store and I am going to make it later.  So this week I made my lion instead.  It is my favorite one that I have done so far, it's like MO2 from Gorongosa Park.

P.E.:

This week in PE we had soccer practice Monday and Wednesday night.  We had a game Thursday night and we won!!! It was our first win so my team and I were really excited.  To celebrate our team win my dad took my sister, younger brother, and I for a treat after the game.  Then on Friday night we had soccer shoot outs to help me practice making soccer goals.
