Week #4

Learning Log for Week of September 20th -25th 

My favorite thing I did this week was play my new educational game Minecraft. I built a world called "EmmaTopia." It was really fun, my world has an underground Glass Palace and a Glass Skyscraper. 

Homeroom:

This week for Homeroom, I went onto BrainPop Jr. to help my little brother. I also wanted to see what he was learning. He showed me a game that he liked called "Construct A Sourus." It was a cool game for Jr's to play and it shows how dinosaurs looked and lived. The game was actually pretty cool.

Math:

I learned how to find the area of a trapezoid and how to read and write Millions. I learned that the area of a trapezoid is base 1 plus base 2 divided by 2 times height. My goal is to get thru 2 units a week.  

English/Language Arts:

This week for my class I built my Minecraft imagery world called "EmmaTopia."  In my word I have animals that I take care of and it is very peaceful in my world.  I also finished Magician's Nephew. I am excited to start my next book The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Science:

After learning about the water cycle last week. We went to the park one day and talked about the different clouds in the sky.  We laid down on the grass and looked up at the sky and named the different clouds of cumulous, stratus, and cumulous nimbus clouds.  The stratus clouds moved the fastest in the sky.

Tech:

In my digital photograph class I finished my modes and settings assignment.  I took the same photo of a tree several times, but each time I changed a setting or a mode on my camera. I took it on paintings mode, black and white, and portrait mode.  My favorite was the painting mode.

Fine Arts:

This week for dance I got some homework from my ballet technique teacher.  I am to practice my stretching, my ABC's with my feet, and my splits.  I also worked on my pirouette and shanay turns.

Fine Arts:

In choir we practiced all 4 songs. We are singing Silver Bells, I want a "Hippopotamus for Christmas", "Christmas in the Air," and "Snow day." I want a solo on Silver Bells because I really like that song.
