Learning Log Week 12

For Math I did k12.  I've been doing lots of subtraction.

For Language Arts I did k12.  I've been working on compound words.  You hold your hand over half of it, and you see that the word's not really that big.  I've been doing handwriting, and I read out loud 15 minutes a day to my mom.  My favorite book to read is called, "Chuck".  My mom read a book to me called, "The Country Mouse and the City Mouse".  The cat was very big and scary to the country mouse, so he went home.

For Science I did k12.  I learned about light.  Light can be blocked by a door, but it reflects off a mirror.

For Electricity I learned that if you rub something too hard it will start shocking you...especially your head.  I also did some electricity projects with my brother.  The one that made that space gun sound was my favorite.

For Rocketry I'm working on my next banner for my rocket launch.  I want to do a rocket launch when my family gets here for Thanksgiving.

Learning Log Week 11

MATH: I did k12.  I'm working on subtracting.

LANGUAGE ARTS: I did k12. I've been reading Phonics books and BOB books.  I'm learning sight words like: the, and, a, is, who, look and saw.

SCIENCE: I learned about animals and insects.  You can tell it's an insect if it has six legs and three body parts.  Spiders are close but are not.  They have eight legs and only two body parts which are their head and their stomach.  They don't have antennas.  Mammals don't lay eggs.  They have live babies and feed their babies milk.  They also have fur.  Birds have feathers and lay eggs.  They make the world look beautiful.

ELECTRICITY: I'm working on some new projects.  I want to learn how to do the one with the solar panel.

ROCKETRY: I watched some videos on youtube.  Normally, I'm not allowed on youtube, but I can for school.  There was a big rocket with three engines that we saw lift off and it came down very quickly, but it survived.  The rocket burned a lot of fuel.

Learning Log Week 10

Math: I did k12.  I'm doing subtracting.  I'm good at adding and subtracting.

Language Arts: I did k12.  I read a book called "Amanda Pig."  My favorite thing is that there's a worksheet.  It seems pretty fun.  In the book when Amanda Pig said she would eat the egg and when she said she didn't like it, it seemed like she put it under the napkin.  Her brother seems like he wants to annoy her.  My brothers and I get along very well.

Science: I did k12.  I learned about the water cycle.  First water evaporates because of the warmth, and then it starts to form in a cloud. That's condensation.  Later on in the day it starts to rain down.  That's called precipitation.  If it gets too cold it will snow or hail down.

Rocketry: We're still trying to fix the switch, but I'm working on a new banner for my next launch.  On my last launch I did a lower engine so I didn't lose the rocket like last time.  It was very windy so I had to chase it, but I still found it.

Electricity:  I really have fun making the new projects that are very cool like the one where I got to try dropping it in the water.  I'm pretty sure electricity can move through water.

Learning Log Week 9

MATH: I did k12.  I've been adding and subtracting.

SCIENCE: I did k12.  I've been learning about matter and liquids.  When you have water with ice in a cup, the outside of the cup starts dripping.  The water gets on the outside in the air.

LANGUAGE ARTS: I did k12.  I've been reading about the pilgrims that came to America.  Kids had to work all day, and that would be hard.  I've been doing handwriting.  I've been reading BOB books.

ROCKETRY CLASS: I'm trying to fix the switch for my rocket launcher.  It stopped working at my last rocket launch.  My favorite thing about rockets is how high they go.  I don't like how loud they are.

ELECTRICITY: I did a water project.  It worked if the two pieces were really close together.
