Week #19

Learning Log for Week of January 11th - January 15th

Homeroom:

This week for homeroom I worked on khan academy.  I worked on art history in Khan Academy. The Art History was on Mesopotamian Art, I watched two videos and took a quiz on it.

Math:

This week in Math-U-See I worked on addition and subtraction. I took my test and worked math in Khan Academy.  I love the prodigy math game and am doing that as well.

English/Language Arts:

We are still working on our unit on Little House in the Big Woods.  We read about two bears story where Laura used a lantern to go out to the barn with her Ma.  So we made homemade lanterns.  We took old cans and then we drew a pattern and then put it on the can and drilled holes in the tin for the light to come through.  We learned about the literary elements of setting, plot, theme, characters, and style.

Science:

This week in science we are still learning about vertebrates.  We learned about the Komodo Dragon and how it is the worlds largest lizard.  We also learned that it is endangered.  I then did a report on an animal that is or was on the endangered list.  I choose the maned three toed sloth.  My favorite thing that I learned about the sloth is that because they are the world's slowest moving animal...there is algae that actually grows on their fur and it is helpful to camouflage in the trees.

History/Geography:

In History we learned more about our Egypt Unit and about Egyptian Mythology.  One of my favorite myths was how we got 365 days.  In Geography we are learning about Asia and we starting learning about lithospheres.  I am doing a geography report on India, so I worked on my map to show the different elements on the land of India.

Tech:

I have been working on my different lego assignments and trying different designs.  I like taking the design and changing it.  I found code monkey game online and have been playing that too to learn how to code.

P.E:

I have been working on my soccer skills. We are still taking a break from my soccer team, but I have been working with my dad.  We have gone to our church gym to practice there Tuesday nights.
