LEARNING LOG WEEK 13

MATH: I worked on exponents again.  I had to figure out how many times to multiply a number by itself to get the right answer.  So it could be squared or to the power of 3, or 4, etc.

LANGUAGE ARTS:  I've been reading my classics book.  I also read a book of Boxcar Children comic book style, and I finished the book a little bit ago.  I also did handwriting and writing.  I also did All About Reading.

SCIENCE:  I learned about how you can get power from water.  I drew an example of how it might work.  We made a spinning water wheel with spoons, roasting sticks and a ball.  Then we put water on the spoons to make it spin.

ENGINEERING:  I worked on my planetarium again.  I put the month stickers on and we're going to turn it every month for that sticker to face North and see if the stars in the sky match up.

KARATE:  I reviewed some stuff, and I earned my orange belt officially this week and got it.  I did some drills and there's one thing where we put our hands on a bow staff and you try to twist it towards you.  Whoever pulls it to their side most wins.  The other side gets to do push ups.
