Learning Log Week 20

MATH:  For math I've been doing where you fix the problem like if you had 110 blocks and you were going to split them out into groups of 10.  I've been working on DreamBox.

LANGUAGE ARTS:  I've been reading my Avengers book and other books.  I've been practicing sight words too.  I've been doing spelling and handwriting.

SCIENCE:  For Science we learned about atoms and molecules and how they fit together.  They have to follow rules.  We built molecules with toothpicks and marshmallows and then I built a house.

We also went to the dinosaur museum and learned about dinosaurs.

ENGINEERING:  I did my own project this week.  It's a screen and that move on wheels.

HISTORY:  I learned about Illinois and Indiana.  They are on the top part of the map.

Learning Log Week 19

MATH:  I did Dreambox math.  I've been doing the 100s chart.  I've been doing ones, tens and hundreds and re-grouping them.

LANGUAGE ARTS:  I read 30 minutes a day.  I've like the Avenger books because it has lots of Avengers and it's fun to learn about their powers.  I did Spelling and Handwriting.  I did Reading Eggs and ABC Mouse.

SCIENCE:  We looked at what kind of atoms are in a marshmallow and a cracker and we had to write down what we thought there was with the cracker or marshmallow.

ENGINEERING:  I've been working on some projects with my dad.  I'll be working on some more today.

HISTORY:  I learned about Idaho.  That's where my grandparents live.  I like to go there and discover new things that I have not seen before.  There are lots of potato fields.  I also like how Idaho makes a lot of potatoes in their fields.  I like being there.  I also learned about Hawaii.  Hawaii is not cold like Idaho.  Hawaii is a group of islands with palm trees.  It's warm there also.

Learning Log Week 16-18

MATH:
I did Dreambox math and some worksheets.  I'm doing input and output and hundreds charts.  I'm doing ones, tens and hundreds.  I also did lots of Study Island.  I worked on telling time, adding blocks, and graphs.

LANGUAGE ARTS:
I did Reading Eggs.  I read a super hero book that I got from the store.  It tells me all about super heroes like Spiderman and Iron Man and the New Team.  I did handwriting and spelling.  I did ABC Mouse.

SCIENCE:
I learned about forces, plants and energy.  I also did an experiment with my brothers and some friends.  I learned about how energy from a ball can hit the cards and send the baking soda to the vinegar.  It makes it bubbly.  Energy transfers from one thing to another.

ENGINEERING:
I made a sewing machine with my blocks.  It has a crank that controls the pin whenever you spin it.  I caught up on some projects with my dad.  I made a well and a moving bridge and lots of other projects too.

HISTORY:  I learned about Florida.  It grows oranges there.  Above Florida is Georgia.  They grow a lot of peaches there.  It's called the peach state.  It's hot down there.

Learning Log Week 15

MATH:  I did greater and lesser and equal signs.  I did addition.  I did hundreds charts.  I learned how to do numbers like 6 + 2 = 2 + 6.  I worked on Study Island and Dreambox math.

LANGUAGE ARTS:  I read books.  I worked on my handwriting.  I wrote a letter to my mom.  My brother helped me spell some words.  I did Reading Eggs and ABC Mouse.  I read sight word books too.

SCIENCE:  We learned about magnets again. Magnets pull up iron and it sticks to it all hairy.

ENGINEERING:  I made some projects with my brother.  We built a pantograph and a catapult.  You can throw things up into the air with the catapult.  I'm glad my brother is here to help me.

HISTORY:  I learned about Connecticut.  It is all the way on the other side of the map from Utah.  It is very small.  There are dinosaur bones there.  They make jet engines and submarines there.

Learning Log Week 14

MATH:  I did DreamBox math.  I've been doing subtraction and adding and learning ways to make numbers.  I've been doing input and output again.  That's my favorite thing.  I did a 100 chart too.

LANGUAGE ARTS:  I did Reading Eggs and ABC Mouse.  I read to my mom.  I spelled out words.

SCIENCE:  We had a magnet and very, very little small pieces of iron.  It sucked up to the magnet looking like fur all over it.  We also found out North and North try to go away from each other, but North and South go together on the magnet.  South and South push away from each other.  Our earth is a magnet.  We have a north pole and a south pole.

ENGINEERING:  I worked on the extendable mechanical arm.  I also worked on a project with my grandpa.

HISTORY:  I learned about Colorado.  It's right beside Utah.  There are dinosaur bones there.

Learning Log Week 12-13

MATH: I did Dreambox math.  I also did study Island for 1 1/2 hours.

LANGUAGE ARTS:  I worked on Reading Eggs and reading to my mom.  I did handwriting too.

SCIENCE:  We got a big battery, and we made a light bulb light up.  We connected to wires to the positive and negative.  Then we tried putting things next to the wire like plastic to see if the electricity would run through it and still light up the bulb.  We tried a nickel and that still lighted up the bulb all the way.  Some things are conductors and it lets the electricity go so it can move.  Some things are insulators and they block the electricity.

ENGINEERING:  I worked on some more projects that I'm going to turn in.  I'm trying to catch up on a couple of these.

HISTORY:  I learned about Utah.  When there were people growing gardens there were too many crickets eating up the gardens and seagulls ate the crickets, so that's why that's the state bird.  Also, Utah is a desert.  That means it's kind of dry.

Learning Log Week 11

MATH:  I did Dreambox math.  I've been adding.

LANGUAGE ARTS:  I read to my mom every day.  I also did Reading Eggs.  I worked on Handwriting.

SCIENCE:  We created static electricity with balloons.  We rubbed the balloons on our hair, then stuck them on the wall and it stayed.  Some things don't make static electricity like when you rub the balloon on the wall it doesn't just stick to the wall.

ENGINEERING:  I'm working on Linkages.  I've built the mechanical arm three times now.  I like using it to try to pick up toys.

HISTORY:  I'm learning about the states.  We reviewed what I've already learned about the states.
