Learning Log Week 4

MATH: I did rounding and estimating.  I did addition with bigger numbers.  I also added big numbers adding three or more big numbers together.


LANGUAGE ARTS: I'm reading a book about Rosa Parks.  So far it's just been talking about how she was going to school. For writing I'm doing specific nouns and adjectives like instead of car you could say sports car or van or even say blue van.

SCIENCE: You can't see the blood moon but my brothers and I layed down on the trampoline and watched the blood moon.  It was really red.  When the sun, earth and moon line up, the earth blocks the sunlight and the moon just gets scattered light.

I also did science with some friends.  We were throwing the ball to look at the arch. and then we tied a string to it and it would start making the arch and when the string stopped it it would go straight down because the string stropped the motion so the gravity pulled it down.


GAME DESIGN: I've been working on my Ice breakers game a little bit.  Ice Breakers is the new game I'm working on.

LEGO ROBOTICS:  I didn't work on this class this week.  I'm going to fix the arm on it soon.  I just need to look at the instructions to fix it.

Learning Log Week 3

MATH:  I reviewed some addition and subtraction.  For subtraction you have to have the biggest number on top.  I took my first quiz yesterday.  I got 100%.

LANGUAGE ARTS:  I practiced cursive and read a book called The Big Book of Why.  I learned why dogs noses are always wet.  Because scientists think that they lick their noses to keep them moist because it helps them smell better.

SCIENCE:  I went to Lake Tahoe.  There was a drought there and the water was really low.  We could walk out past the orange balls that tells the boats they're getting deep.  We could walk past the sign that said the boats can only go 5 miles per hour.  There was  a fire which I'm pretty sure was from dry lightening  it covered pretty much the whole lake.



GAME DESIGN:  I did not do game design this week because I was gone.  I am trying to figure out how to save my ping game as a file so I don't have to go into the program and run it I can just go in the file.

LEGO ROBOTICS:  I didn't do any lego robots because I was gone.  I'm excited to work on it next week.

Learning Log Week 2

MATH: I like to site outside with my brother to do my math sometimes. Sometimes it helps you think better when it's quiet. I learned that the answer to a subtraction question is called a difference.




LANGUAGE ARTS:  I did spelling I learned about vowel chunks. I did a magazine assignment where I chose some of my favorite magazines that I mite want to write about. one of my favorite magazines was a science one. I read 30 mins a day.



SCIENCE:   I learned that some blimps use helium to make them float. but the Germans used to put hydrogen witch can start o fire. One blimp started on fire and crashed. helium is what we use in balloons today.

LEGO ROBOTICS: Earlier I accidentally crashed my lego robot into the wall and the arm fell of. I haven't fixed it yet but I will.

GAME DESIGN:  I finished ping. I'm ready to make my next game :D.

Learning Log - Week 1 (2015)

MATH:  I learned about number patterns.  you have to find the pattern in them, sometimes it's hard. sometimes it will tell you to say the fifth number in it.  I also did odd and even numbers with big numbers.  I also did place value for numbers in the ten thousands.

LANGUAGE ARTS: I practiced spelling and writing.  I am reading some joke books.  one of the joke are, what is in December that's not in any other month?  The letter D. here's another joke.  What has four eyes and can't see?  The Mississippi.

I'm reading a journal about an alien that dressed up like a human. He asks some funny questions. one is why is toilet paper white?

SCIENCE: We did a experiment we had to look at stuff and see what they have in common.  that's how scientists put plants and animals in different kingdoms.

GAME DESIGN: For game design I finished my ping game.  I learned how to use fusion, it's pretty cool.

LEGO MINESTORM: I built my first lego minestorm there's a video and picture of it at the bottom. I added some stuff on it from the instructions like if it hits the wall it will go forward.

Here's a picture of the first robot I built and a video.
