LEARNING LOG WEEK 17

MATH:  I did fractions.  I had to make a fraction and fill in one part of it.  I used a conversion chart to do like how many hours in one day or how many feet in a mile.  Things like that.

LANGUAGE ARTS:  I learned about prefixes and suffixes.  I read a bunch of really big words.  They seem scary, but if you just read them slowly piece by piece it becomes much easier.  I only missed 5 of them out of like 30.  I also did spelling.  I read 20 minutes a day.  I'm reading "The Boxcar Children".  It's getting very interesting.  I'm on the second book chapter 13.

SCIENCE:  We learned about Mars.  We watched a lot of fun space movies, and we made some reddish sand to represent Mars surface.  We threw rocks at the sand to represent craters on Mars.

ENGINEERING:  I a lamp.  I was going to use it last night, but I forgot...I was so tired.  I used copper tape, wires, resistors, lights, batteries and a lot of other fun, cool things.

KARATE:  In karate I learned a new form that I need to know for my next belt.  The belt I'm going for is my first blue belt, then I'm going to go for my second.  I'm having a lot of fun in karate.  I hope I can get the blue belt.
