Learning Log Week 22

MATH: I did k12. I learned about different ways to add.

SCIENCE: I did k12.  I learned about wetlands.  Frogs live there, maybe snakes and birds and grasshoppers.  It wet but you can still walk through it.  It looks like it's an ocean, but it's really just mud.  I learned about animals that live underground.  Moles live underground.  They make a big mess.  They are very cool creatures, but they are also annoying when they get in your garden.  They can barely see.

LANGUAGE ARTS: I did k12.  I'm working on handwriting.  I'm learning about compound words.  They look really big, but they are really just two words stuck together, so if you put one finger on one half and read that half, then put one finger on the other half, then read that half...then you put them together and you can read the word.  I'm also learning about words that end in -ed.  That means it already happened.  Some words have double trouble endings.

ELECTRICITY: I'm working on some projects with my dad and some by myself.

ROCKETRY: I played on the NASA website.

Learning Log Week 21

MATH:  I did k12.  I learned how to add up numbers with ones and tens and hundreds.  The highest number I did was 963.

SCIENCE:  I did k12.  I learned about rainforests.  Lizards and snakes and birds live in the middle of the forest.  It's very wet and very rainy, and it's very warm.

LANGUAGE ARTS: I did k12.  My favorite story my mom read to me this week was a boy with a new cap.  Everyone wanted his cap even the princess and the king, but he ran away.  He liked his cap because it was made from his mother.  I've been working on writing and spelling.  I've been spelling without anyone noticing. 

ELECTRICITY:  My favorite project is the whiner...the one that makes a loud noise.  My dad helps me with my projects.

ROCKETRY:  I played on the NASA kids club website.

Learning Log Week 20

MATH: I did k12.  I'm learning about ones and tens and how to count up with place value mats.

SCIENCE: I did k12.  I learned about habitats.  I learned about grasslands and the rainforest.  The rainforest is always raining and wet.  The grasslands have lots of grass and lions trying to catch other animals.

LANGUAGE ARTS: I did k12.  I read to my mom every day.  I took a DIBELS test with my teacher.  I like when my mom reads to me.  I'm working on vocabulary and how to use base words.

ROCKETRY: I'm planning my next launch, but I'm waiting for some of the snow to melt so I don't lose my rocket in the snow when it lands.

ELECTRICITY: I'm doing lots of projects with my dad.  He showed me how to do some morris code with the sound buttons.

Learning Log Week 17-19

Math: I did k12.  I learned about money and how to count it and tell what it is.  I played a game with my mom of who could tell how much the money was worth.

Science: I did k12.  I learned about habitats.  I learned about forests and deserts.  Forests have a canopy and a floor.  Some animals in the desert don't drink much water.

Language Arts: I did k12.  I read books with my mom.  I liked the book, "And I Mean it Stanley."  Stanley is a dog.  I read books to my mom.  I practiced handwriting.

Rockets:  I'm planning for my next rocket launch.

Electricity:  I've been doing projects with my dad.  I like the ones that make noise.

Learning Log Week 16

MATH: I did k12.  I did subtracting by ones and tens.

SCIENCE: I did k12.  I started learning about habitats.  There's the forest floor.  The forest understory, and the forest canopy.  Birds, mice, snakes and rabbits live in the forest.

LANGUAGE ARTS: I did k12.  I read a book called "Sheep in a Jeep."  The sheep put the jeep for sale after they had a crash landing.  I worked on vocabulary and handwriting too.

ELECTRICITY:  My dad and I are working on building some of these.  The noise ones and the lamp ones are fun.

ROCKETRY:  I'm planning on doing two more launches over Christmas break.

Learning Log Week 15

MATH: I did k12.  I learned counting back by ones and tens.

LANGUAGE ARTS: I did k12.  I've been reading phonics books with my mom.  I've been doing handwriting and vocabulary.

SCIENCE: I did k12.  I learned seeds grow with water, sun and air.  The roots go down and then all you see is a little green stem and then it starts turning brown and then leaves start popping up.  When animals eat fruit they start to eat it and then it falls and it plants the seed when it goes out the other end of the place they eat.

ROCKETRY: I turned in two rocket launches this week and two rocket banners.  My favorite rocket launch was the high one.

ELECTRICITY: I learned if you build it backwards it will not work, and if you don't have each part connecting then it won't work too.

Learning Log Weeks 13-14

For Rocketry I did a rocket launch at the soccer field.  At first it didn't work, and we found out the battery was dead.  One went 494 feet far.  We had to run after it to find it, and it took awhile. 

For Electricity/Circuitry class I'm working on capacitors.  I like when my brother helps me with this class.

For Language Arts I did k12.  I'm reading phonics books.  My mom read a book to me about the little dipper. In the book, there was hardly any water left for her mother so the little girl gave up all her water.  A dipper formed in the sky because of all her kindness.

For Science I did k12.  I learned about sun dials and shadows.  They used to have no clocks so they used a sun dial to see what time it was in the day.

For Math I did k12.  I've been doing lots of subtraction and learning new things.
