Week #25

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

My favorite thing this week was my prodigy math game.

Homeroom:

This week I studied on brain pop junior.  I also worked on Khan Academy.  I like watching the videos and taking the quizzes.

Math:

This week in Math I finished lesson #4 in Math U See. It was about multiplying by 10.  I learned the easiest way was to skip count by 10.  I also really liked playing on my new prodigy math game.

English/Language Arts:

This week we worked on spelling and reading books as a family.  I am excited because we ordered a new spelling program called Spelling U See.  I am excited for it to come in and get started.

Science:

This week in science we learned more about birds.  This week we talked about the birds wings and feathers.  I didn't know that birds feathers keep them more warm than fur can, this is why our clothes are made up of down feathers and not fur.  We went to a lake by our house and we got to look at the different birds and see their peaks and their feet to see how the different types help them in their habitat. We also got to pick up feathers and look at them and see their different parts.

History/Geography:

This week in Geography we are still working on our study of the Asian continent. We studied the political geography and talked about boundaries.  We talked about the physical boundaries like mountains and rivers and then we talked about the man made boundaries lines. Then we made a map of all the different countries on the Asian Continent.

Tech:

I am finishing up my projects in my lego class.  This is my favorite class so far.  I love putting the pieces together and seeing them work.

P.E:

I am starting up with my soccer team again next week!  I am really excited and started practicing my drills in the backyard.  I organized my soccer stuff so I am ready to go!

Week #24

Learning Log for Week of February 29th - March 4th

My favorite thing this week was again going to Epcot at Disney world.

Homeroom:

This week I studied on brain pop junior.  I learned about Ezra Jack Keates who was an illustrator, who is a person who draws books.  I liked that he draws big pictures on the wall, murals.

Math:

This week in math I started working on my prodigy. My character's name is Aaron.  I like how you can earn things and then buy things.  You go to battle evil wizards and monsters, before you cast a spell you have to solve a math problem.  It is really cool and I love it.

English/Language Arts:

This week while we are on vacation I just read some books to my little brother.  I read books like Miss Nelson is Missing by James Marshall.  I love books by James Marshall, my favorite books he has written are the George and Martha books.  

Science:

While in Orlando, I went on the Epcot Ball and we learned about different scientists that created rockets.  We also went to the area that talked about land.  We went to Kennedy Space Center and we got to see the rockets and how scientists helped the astronauts launch into space.

History/Geography:

On the Epcot ride we learned about the history of the world.  We learned about dinosaurs, then went to caveman, then it went to Egyptians, then the Greeks and the Romans, and then it showed how it was all destroyed.  Then the Renaissance happened and they came out with books and it showed Michael Angelo and the Sistine Chapel.  Then it showed how they made radios and televisions and how we got a man to the moon.  

Tech:

I tried working on a new lego.  I need to try and code it.  I have enjoyed playing on code monkey too.

P.E:

I am going to be on a basketball team with my friends starting soon. My soccer starts up in April.  I loved swimming in the Atlantic Ocean while we were on vacation.
