Week #30-31

Learning Log for Week of March 28th - April 8th

My favorite thing this week was going on a field trip to wheeler farm.

Homeroom:

This week I studied khan academy.  I worked a little bit on my math missions.  I also watched some videos about art history.

Math:

This week in Math I finished lesson # 7 & 8 in Math U See. It was about finding the area of a rectangle and solving for the unknown.  I like using the formula for area.  It took me a little bit to figure out solving for the unknown, but now I get it.

English/Language Arts:

I worked on my Spelling-U-See.  I am learning about vowel chunks in words...when two vowels are right next to each other.  I highlight them in yellow and then I practice writing the story down.  It is fun to learn the rules and to help become better at handwriting.

Science:

This week in science we finished up our study on birds.  Now we are starting a study on biomes and ecosystems.  It was fun to draw a map of the different biomes around the world.

History/Geography:

This week in Geography we talked about the different languages on the continent of Asia.  We are did history this week and are learning more about Mesopotamia.  I like learning about the Code of Hammurabi and also learning about Sargon the great.

Tech:

This week I worked on my sailboat for my lego class. It was fun to have to build the sail.  I had a hard time getting it to go at first, but I finally figured it out once I kept changing some things.

P.E:
 

We are playing soccer games now!  it is fun to have a game and try really hard as team.  We are winning more of our games this spring than we did in the fall and that is fun to be able to win some games.
