Week 13

Scotty-

Math: So I did regrouping.  It was really hard and frustrating.  But I did it!  I just did regrouping over and over till I understood it.

Language Arts:  My mom had her baby so we didn't do language arts this week....

Science: I watched a science show about animals.  It is called Nature Kratts.  I learned about spider webs.  They can be REALLY sticky and it's the strongest material made by animals.

Tech: I started building my Lego Wedo, the pull bot, but then the computer I was using at Jeffrey's just turned off on me!  Frustrating!

Karate:  We were just getting our stripes for the big test on Saturday.  I want to get my yellow belt!

Beth-

Math: I colored a sailboat.  I did patterns and counted groups of shapes.

Language Arts: We didn't do Language Arts this week because mom had her baby!  But she did read me a book!  It was about apples.

Dance: Ok, we are learning the Christmas dance.  I like that we have a wand.  It has a star on it!

Week 12

Scotty-

Math: In math I did counting my twos.  I already know how to do it, so it was easy.

Language Arts:  This is the last time I will be doing this poem.  I wrote almost the whole thing by myself and I spelled really really good!

Science: The question was, "How many people are in the world?'  The answer was right about 8 billion, and when he said a sentence, about 15 more babies were born.  So that means, the number always changes!  There is more of one animal and the animal is ants.  There are gazillions of ants, like 8 gazillion!

Tech: I made a wobbler.  I made it wobble when it drives forward.  And the way I make it wobble, is there is gears in the middle that turn the wheels, but there is a twisted Lego that makes everything go crazy!  So it wobbles when it drives forward.  Wobble, wobble, wobble.

Karate:  Karate wasn't as fun as last week.  I was learning some of the stuff I need for my orange belt.  And I was the best at reverse punches this week.

Beth-

Math: This time was lots of counting.  Ok, I was good at it, but not good at remembering which ways I had to write the numbers.  Sometimes  they were backwards and I had to do it again and again.  But I don't give up!  That's what mom says.  So I don't!  I did it!

Language Arts: I am learning to write my letters too.  I am spelling and I am reading. I read a story about a cat who sat on the mat, but he had mud and the mom was mad!  Silly! 

Dance: Ok, we are learning the Christmas dance.  I like that we have a wand.  It has a star on it!

Week 11

Scotty-

Math:  In math I learned how to use place value to do double digit math.  To make 79 do 62 plus 17.  but I made it 60+10= 70 then 2+7=9 and then together that's 79.

Language Arts:  I am still doing the Little Boy Blue poem. I am learning to spell it and write it.  I a, still doing vowel chunks.  I wrote down the poem and I only did one backwards letter and 2 capitol letters but they should have been lower case.

Science: 
We learned about Why are pumkins orange.  Us humans made pumpkins be orange by only planting the most orange ones seeds.  And you can make pumpkins be different shapes by putting them in a container when they are little and they will grow to be the shape of the container.  One person made a pumpkin have a face!  It was funny, it's like a tiki face.

Tech:

I had my friend Jeffrey over, so we could do calibrating with our Lego Wedos.  We made Milo again.  This time we made both our Milos pull the plants specimen from two weeks ago.  We also made out Milos have a race, just for fun.

Karate:  We did fight sequence, we practiced combos.  We had to stand 10 feet away from our partner.  My partner had only been there 2 weeks.  His attack was mostly center punch and then a high punch. I learned a jumping front kick and round and side.

Beth-

Math: I learned about circles.  I counted all the ones that were the same color.  I also did new things.  You had to find out which is circles and which isn't.

Language Arts:  I learned a new sound, no word I learned the word "I".  I just have to remember that word.  I also read a story about ants that were racing.  But it said that it wasn't a duck, it was an ant.  And one of the ants did and we all had a good time racing.

Dance: I didn't have dance this week, because it was Halloween so I did my monster dance for mom.
