LEARNING LOG WEEK 6

MATH: I did symmetry again.  I had to split shapes to they were perfect symmetry or fold them or split them or add on a block or take away a block.  There's line symmetry where you just divide the shape or there's rotational symmetry where you can turn the shape and then it looks the exact same.

LANGUAGE ARTS:  I did handwriting and writing.  I've been drawing pictures and reading and making a new picture that the paper lists off.  One of them is a truck, and I drew a truck.

SCIENCE: We made a well with a pump.  If you dig deep enough you can make a pond and there's some water.  We did this game where we pretended we were building a new town and we had to look for water and it couldn't be salty or poisonous.
I also went to the museum of natural curiosity.  They have a new tree house exhibit.  I learned about different animals that live in the trees and the sounds they make.

My little brother, Declan, stepping on the circles to make animal sounds at the museum.

ENGINEERING: I used my rocket kit to learn some more about carbon dioxide.  It's also known as CO2.  When you open a soda, the CO2 starts to come out so we put a balloon on it and the CO2 filled up the balloon with gas.  I also tried adding mentos and that made the CO2 come up out of the soda even faster.

KARATE: I got another stripe on my belt.  I got it because first before I passed off my kicks, and then just yesterday I passed off my one-steps. I did my first, second and third with someone in my class named Kimball.
