Learning Log Week 8

MATH:  I'm working on number lines.  I'm adding and subtracting.

LANGUAGE ARTS:  I did Reading Eggs every day and read to my mom.  I like a book about Alvin, Simon, Theodore.  They're chipmunks.

SCIENCE:  Flies start out as a little worm-type thing.  When they grow up they start to grow wings and fly.  They live for only about one month.  In the Winter, insects look for warm places.  Some of them die, but before they do they lay eggs that hatch in the Spring.

ENGINEERING:  I did one of my projects.  I also made up some of my own designs.

HISTORY:  I did puzzles of the U.S.  I also learned about Arizona.  It's a desert.  It grows very, very tall cactuses that live 60 years.  It has the Grand Canyon where it goes very deep down.

Learning Log Week 7

MATH:  For math I did Dreambox.  I did Input and Output.

LANGUAGE ARTS:  I did Reading Eggs.  I was learning how to read with different words.  I read to my mom.  I'm learning how to spell new words.

SCIENCE:   We pushed the big marble and the small marble to test which one would go farther.  We tried it on a rough surface too.  I like learning how to build new things and learn about the things in the world.

ENGINEERING:  I built a plane thing.  I like putting blocks together.

HISTORY:  I learned about Alaska.  It's really cold there and people go snow sledding there with their dogs.

Learning Log Week 6

MATH:  I played with math blocks.  I also worked and addition and subtraction.

LANGUAGE ARTS:  I worked on spelling with nursery rhymes.  I read to my mom every day.  I did Reading Eggs every day.  I put together words on Reading Eggs to learn how to spell them.

SCIENCE:  I learned about gravity with a toy car.  First, we put the toy car on a small ramp to see how fast it would go.  Then we lifted the ramp a little higher and a little higher until it was all the way to my chest.  It went the fasted the highest up we went.  Then we tried adding ten pennies to make the car heavier, and it went even faster.

ENGINEERING:  I made a new project from the book by myself.  I'm working on my next one to turn in.

HISTORY:  I'm still learning about the states.  I work on a map on the wall and with puzzles.

Learning Log Week 5

MATH:  I worked on Dreambox math.  I've been doing more input output numbers and learning how to make new numbers by adding them together.

LANGUAGE ARTS:  I've been learning how to read better.  I read to my mom and I enjoy having fun with my family.  I've been doing spelling and learning how to write better.

SCIENCE: We tried to squish a rock and it was hard.  We also tried to squish a marshmallow and it was a little easier, but it didn't squish all the way.  Then we tried a lemon and a banana and they squished completely.  Some things need more force to squish, but when they do not have too much force then they cannot squish.

ENGINEERING: I built a weight lifter.  I also built a teeter totter.  I've been working on levers too.  My favorite one so far is the weight lifter because you can make different weights on it with different blocks. 

HISTORY: Alabama is at the bottom of our country.  It has big trees there.  I'm working on a big map of the United States.
