Week #22

Learning Log for Week of February 15th - 19th

My favorite thing this week was learning was going to wheeler farm.  I like the warm weather and that we can go outside and seeing all the animals.

Homeroom:

This week for homeroom I worked in brain pop.  I worked on science.  I watched a video on food chains, nature, and science projects.

Math:

This week in Math I finished my Lesson #3.  It is on skip counting 2, 5, and 10. I like to skip by 2 the most.

English/Language Arts:

This week we finished Little House in the Big Woods.  We learned how Pa hunts and how they did the harvest for the next year.  We went to Wheeler Farm to look at the animals and to see some of the tractors and to see if we could see a thresher machine.  My favorite animal was the big horses.

Science:

This week we talked more about birds.  We talked about the beaks and the feet of birds.  We did a test were we put different things on a plate like rice, peanuts, pasta, and chocolate chips.  We then took different tools like a tweezers, spoon, fingers, and scissors.  We talked about how the different feet and beaks help each bird adapt to their environment.

History/Geography:

This  week we starting learning about political geography.  We learned about Matthew Maury and how he wrote a lot about political geography that we still use.  We learned that political geography means a study of things that are man made, the people, the way they worship God, food, clothing, entertainment, the way they are ruled, and their resources. I like political geography because I like learning about different cultures.

Tech:

This week I started working on my giant project.  I am going to build it the way the assignment asks and then I am going to change it and see if I code it different.  I want to have it move it's arm and pick something up.  I found something called code monkey.  You have to code it to walk where it needs to walk to the bananas.  It's really fun and hard.

P.E:

We went to the gym again and this week we practiced both our soccer and our basketball.  We worked on drills with dribbling and shooting.  We worked on kicking and protecting the goal.
