Week #24

Learning Log for Week of February 29th - March 4th

My favorite thing this week was learning while on our vacation in Disney world!

Homeroom:

This week in Homeroom I went on Brain pop and learned about the human body.  I learned how you should take care of your body by doing physical fitness and to do it often.  I also learned about obesity, which is when you are overweight and you can't move your body. This can be very dangerous.

Math:

This week I started working on my prodigy account.  I got to pick my character and named her Emma fire heart.  It's a game where you cast spells on monsters and other evil wizards.  You cast a spell by using your math skills.  It's really fun and really engaging.

English/Language Arts:

This week I started The Silver Chair.  In the beginning it was a little boring, but then it gets really interesting by traveling to Narina.  It's new characters in this book, so I was a little sad because I thought the whole series had all 4 kids.

Science:

While in Orlando, I went on the Epcot Ball and we learned about different scientists that created rockets.  We also went to the area that talked about land.  We went to Kennedy Space Center and we got to see the rockets and how scientists helped the astronauts launch into space.

History/Geography:

On the Epcot ride we learned about the history of the world.  We learned about dinosaurs, then went to caveman, then it went to Egyptians, then the Greeks and the Romans, and then it showed how it was all destroyed.  Then the Renaissance happened and they came out with books and it showed Michael Angelo and the Sistine Chapel.  Then it showed how they made radios and televisions and how we got a man to the moon. 

Tech:

This week I am excited to upload my photos from Disney world and edit them. My favorite photos are from Epcot.  I took pictures during the day and at night. I got to see the Silver Epcot Ball and how it changed from day to night. 

Choir:

I found out I got a solo on "When I grow Up."  I am really excited! We are getting ready for our spring shows, we have 4 scheduled right now that we are going to perform.

Dance:

This week at Disney world I got to see different cultures and how they celebrate.  In China, I got to see how they use dance and movement to express themselves. I got to see a lot of shows while in Disney world and got to see different actors sing and dance.
