Week #14

Learning Log for Week of November 30th - December 4th

My favorite thing this week was having my friends come over to 

see what our homeschool is like and learning about our science lesson.

Homeroom:

This week for homeroom I worked on Khan Academy.  I helped my brother with some questions he had so he could earn some additional points and unlock a new avatar.  I also showed a friend that came over for a lesson brain pop junior and how it works and what I like about it.

Math:

This week in Math I I finished my Lesson #26 that taught me about volume.  The Area for volume is length x width x height. I like volume because you get to find out things like how much water you would need to fill your bath tub and the size of a building.

English/Language Arts:

I finished my book The Horse and His Boy, I liked it a lot because it has a bit of Russian folk tale. There were different new characters and it taught me about friendship and what it means to be a good friend. Things like loyalty, trust, compassion, empathy. My assignment this week from my through the wardrobe class was to watch the movie The Chronicles of Narnia. My favorite scene in the movie was the battle of Narnia scene at the end cause it just shows how powerful the army was.

Science:

This week in science we learned more about mammals.  We talked specially about marsupials and talked about the Tasmanian Devil.  There aren't many left because people are moving into their habitat and because when some animals are killed the Tasmanian Devil they go to eat the meat and they get hit by a car.

Tech:

My digital photography class assignment was to upload our favorite ten photos from November.  I still need to turn in my assignment, but I am going to turn in photos that I took of my baby brother Griffin and also of my other brothers. My favorite thing about photography is how you get to capture the moment and have it forever.  I made 2 movies using i-movie on my family's mac computer.  I loved making the movies.  One was about friendship and the other was about the Nativity Story.  I liked being the director.

Choir:

This week in my choir we had two performances.  The first was at an assisted living center.  This one was my favorite because after the concert we got to go around and meet and shake the hands of the residents that live there and that was fun to meet them and see them smile.  The other concert was the Festival of Trees.  I really liked going so we could see all the different tress that were there.

Dance:

This week in dance I learned new turns and leaps.  I am getting excited to see the Nutcracker for Christmas and I started listening to the music and playing it on my piano.  I am working on my pointe moves because I really want to take pre-pointe next year.
