Week #15

Learning Log for Week of December 7th - December 11th

My favorite thing this week was science and learning about amphibians.

Homeroom:

This week for homeroom I worked on Khan Academy and Brain Pop.  I was able to work more on my early elementary math.  I did Brain Pop Junior and learned more math as well as did science.  One of my favorite things was to build dinosaurs, you get to pick the head, body, and tail. If it's not balanced, you have to keep trying.

Math:

This week in Math I I finished my Lesson #22 and Lesson #23.  In Lesson #22 I learned about subtracting and when you need to re-group.  I also learned about the hour and put the hour and minute hand together.

English/Language Arts:

I finished my book Who is Ernest Shackleton. It is a really cool book about an explorer that explored the south pole.  I want to be an explorer when I grow up so it's cool reading about his life.

Science:

This week in science we learned more about amphibians.  I learned that they often times start in the water and then move to land, this is what a frog does.  He has gils when he is born and then his lungs develop as he gets older.  Amphibians are cold blooded animals.

Tech:

I didn't do any specific assignments this week, but I worked on just building and creating my own projects.  I worked with my legos in building different models.  I want to make something that can be used like in a Minecraft came.

P.E.:

This week in soccer we had our indoor soccer practice. I only have two more weeks of indoor soccer.  I love watching the older kids play when I go!  I am working on all my different skills.

Week #14

Learning Log for Week of November 30th - December 4th

My favorite thing this week was having my friends come over to 

see what our homeschool is like and learning about our science lesson.

Homeroom:

This week for homeroom I worked on Khan Academy.  I earned additional points and was able to unlock a new avatar.  I also showed a friend that came over for a lesson brain pop junior and how it works and what I like about it.

Math:

This week in Math I I finished my Lesson #21 that taught me about minutes.  I also started Lesson #22 where I learned about re-grouping.  I like using my blocks to help me set up a problem that if I need to go next door to borrow a ten.

English/Language Arts:

I finished my book Who is Jackie Robinson! Then on Saturday night we watched the movie "42" with my family. I liked the story in the book where a pitcher from the Pittsburgh Pirates threw a ball and hit Jackie's head on purpose because he was black and he didn't like him because Jackie got up and he kept going. I learned that all people are created equal and should be treated the same.

Science:

This week in science we learned more about mammals.  We talked specially about marsupials and talked about the Tasmanian Devil.  There aren't many left because people are moving into their habitat and because when some animals are killed the Tasmanian Devil they go to eat the meat and they get hit by a car.

Tech:

I took a break from my Tech class this week because I am ahead on my assignments. But my favorite lego assignment so far has been the goal keeper. I liked it because I really love soccer and I like being the goal keeper because you get a lot of exercise running around to make sure the other team doesn't make a goal.

P.E.:

This week in soccer we had our indoor soccer practice. We learned new tricks called scissors and pull back. My favorite trick I have learned is the pull back because it is fun and it makes you a better soccer player.
