Week #10

Learning Log for Week of November 2nd - November 6th

My favorite thing this week was going to the Museum of Curiosity and

going to the Rainforest exhibit. 

Homeroom:

This week for homeroom I worked in Khan Academy.  I earned more points and helped me with my math.  I got to do some math that I had never done before when I clicked watch video, that was really cool

Math:

This week in Math I I finished my Lesson # 18 from Math-U-See.  It was Multiple-Digit Column Addition. It was hard, but I was able to get it done. I like doing the Math on Brain Pop and Khan Academy.

English/Language Arts:

This week I kept reading my book, Who is Abraham Lincoln and my goal is to finish it next week.  I put a book on hold at the library, it's the called The Magic Tree House. My sister said these were some of her favorite books when she was in 2nd grade, so I am excited to start reading it when it comes in.  My favorite thing I did was go to the scout shop, I am becoming a cub scout next month.  We got my wolf book and I started reading in it with my mom.  I am working on memorizing the scout oath and law.  

Science:

This week our science experiment was "Action-Reaction," We took a dollar bill and we tried two experiments. The first was to have someone else drop the dollar bill and count how many seconds it took us to catch the dollar bill, and then the other we dropped the dollar bill and we counted how many seconds till we caught the dollar bill.  Each time we dropped the dollar bill and caught it, we were faster because our mind sent a single to our arm that we needed to catch it.  We also talked about inertia and how an object that stays at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion.  We watched a video of an experiment where they put a glass of water and then a pin tin over the glass and then set an empty toilet paper roll on top of the pie tin and then set the egg on top of the toilet paper roll.  Then the scientist backed away and used his hand to knock the pie tin off the glass. The egg dropped straight down into the water, it was awesome. I started a new program called "Doodle Crate." It comes in the mail once a month and I get to work on different things, this month I get to work on maps.

Tech:

I am a little ahead in my Robotics Class so I did some more practice and coding with my goal keeper. I want it to be able to kick and block with different small toys.  My whole family wants to try different things, I am going to finish it next week.

P.E.:

This week in soccer we had our first indoor soccer practice.  It is at a place called Soccer City. Playing soccer inside is a little easier because sometimes when you are playing outside you can slip and fall, but inside that doesn't happen.  I play at Soccer City once a week, but I am still working on my soccer skills when I am at home.
