Week# 19

Learning Log for Week of January 25th - January 29th

My favorite thing this week was learning how to Figure Skate on the Ice. I am working towards my goal of trying new things for homeschool to see what I like.

Homeroom:

This week for homeroom I worked on khan academy.  I worked on math and learned some cool new math skills and tricks. Khan Academy really is fun and I enjoy doing it.

Math:

This week in Math I finished my Lesson #9 and took my test.  I am working on learning how to multiple fractions and then add or subtract them. The method that I am using is called the Rule Of 4, It is multiplying all the numbers through.

English/Language Arts:

We are still working on our unit on Little House in the Big Woods.  We read about the "Dance at Grandpa's" and how dancing was a way of showing their way of a happy and strong family. I did a character chart on Grandma, because she had to love everyone to sit and stir the maple syrup instead of dancing, so everyone could have some of the syrup. She is very a hardworking kind lady.

Science:

This week in science talked more about vertebrates. We moved onto a new class, Fish. We learned the different types of fish and the different parts of their body. We watched a few videos on differnt types of fish underwater. We were assigned to do a report on a fish. I chose a Clownfish, I did a lot of research on this type of salt water fish and found a few things I never knew about the Clownfish. Fish are very fascinating  vertebrates   

History/Geography:

In History we are working more In our Egypt Unit and about the studied more about the Egyptian Gods. We learned their names and their purpose of what they did. It is cool to learn about their Mythology and culture that took place hundreds and hundreds of years ago.   

Tech:

In my digital photography class I did a college of some photos I have taken in the past and combined them into a slide-show movie It was cool to put them together to make a Digital book.

Choir:

We are still working on our Spring Show.  The song we worked on this week was a Sixties Medley. It is very fun to hear songs from the past and sing them I love it! We grove to the fun songs while we sing I really enjoy choir.

Dance:

This week in dance I worked on a move called a tombe . We put the tombe into a combo, and we practiced it with my Thursday teacher Miss Natalie. Dance can be hard sometimes but it is worth the work.
