Week #20

Learning Log for Week of February 1st - February 5th

My favorite thing this week was learning was going to the Leonardo 

to see the mummy exhibit that we have been learning in our Egypt Unit.

Homeroom:

This week for homeroom I worked on khan academy.  I worked on math mission, I am at 50% of my first math mission.  My goal is to get to 75% next week.

Math:

This week in Math I finished my Lesson #10 and took my test with Math-U- See. I am working on learning how to divide fractions.  I am learning that in order to compare or combine you have to be the same kind.

English/Language Arts:

We are still working on our unit on Little House in the Big Woods.  We read about going to town.  We talked about how Laura and her character.  Laura had the best, wonderful and hard day.  It was the best day because she got to see the town Pepin and go to the store.  Laura dressed up in her best dress and got to curl her hair.  It was a hard day because she ripped her dress and the store keeper only talked about Mary's hair.

Science:

This week in science talked more about vertebrates and this week was about Sharks. We talked about the whale shark, the great white shark, and the hammerhead shark.  We learned that we shouldn't how sharks lives so it made them not seem so scary.  They are the top predators in their environment.

History/Geography:

In History this week we finished our unit study on Egypt. We talked about pyramids and how they were built to honor their dead.  We watched videos of the how the great pyramids of Giza were built.  We got to make an Egyptian necklace.

Tech:

In my digital photography class I continued to take more photos. I am working on my assignment Rule of Thirds. I am excited to learn more.  My favorite thing is to take pictures of my baby brother still.

Choir:

We are still working on our Spring Show.  We started learning the song "Home" by Phillip Phillips.  We are learning the melody of it, I am learning the high soprano part.  My favorite thing about choir is getting to know the people and why they like to sing and learning how to work together with our different voices.

Dance:

This week in dance we started to learn our dance for recital.  I am center stage in the front because I am the shortest person in my class. Our costumes are really pretty with pink tutus.
