We are still working on our unit on Little House in the Big Woods.  We read about the "Dance at Grandpa's" and how dancing was a way of showing their way of a happy and strong family. We talked about the different things an author using to tell a story, like characters.  My sister and I did character charts of each other and talked about how our internal character affects our external character. We made Laura's recipe for Gingerbread and had it for a treat after we shared our

Science:

This week in science talked more about vertebrates. We moved onto a new class, Fish. We learned the different types of fish and the different parts of their body.

History/Geography:

In History we are working more In our Egypt Unit and about the studied more about the Egyptian Gods. We learned their names and their purpose of what they did. It is cool to learn about their Mythology and culture that took place hundreds and hundreds of years ago.   

Tech:

In my robotics's class I worked on just playing with different lego parts since I am ahead on my project. I had a friend come over and I helped him with his first lego project.  On Saturday, my dad took us to the lego league competition, it was really cool to see all the things people have

built and how they compete. 

P.E.

My soccer team is on break till March.  So I have been working on my cub scouts.  I just went into cub scouts last month.  Last week was our pack meeting and I made the goal to earn my bobcat and two other adventures.  I earned the running with the pack adventure as I completed those at my den meetings.  I choose to do the bobcat on my own and then my mom and I worked on Digging in the Past adventure.  In the adventure I learned all about dinosaurs and their fossils.  I got to make a fossil and then make the different layers of soil, in a dessert, that help make, create, and keep fossils.
