Language Arts: I am still learning to spell the teapot poem perfect.

Science:  I learned about Why do we get hiccups?  and you get them because your diaphragm muscle, I guess it makes a sudden move and pushes the air right out!  The guy made your body out of plastic bottle and balloons... It was crazy!


Tech:  I used the crank to build a project called earthquake.  and I did different things to see which one stood up longest!  It was really fun.  Then I built magic tracks with my brother and sister.  We used Legos and everything to make hills and stuff.  It was AWESOME!

Week 22

Scotty-

Math: In math I was adding up money and it was hard.  I also carried ones again. I did subtracting. I did a crossword puzzle.

Language Arts: I found the word chunks for the teapot.  My favorite part is the vowel chunks.

Science: We learned about why does the moon turn blood red during a lunar eclipse.  It happens because of the atmosphere.  It goes in the shadow of the earth.  And turns red because of all the sunsets and sunrises.  It would be like a big thing around.   



Tech:  I built what was called crank.  It was a little machine with a motor, and there was a little part on it that you put on the ground and will be like you are cranking something. 

Karate:  I got my kicking stripe in karate.  We were practicing agility and trying to get faster feet.

Beth-

Language Arts:  I read a the cow on the fence.  And also I did really good.  And I had my mom help me. 

Dance:  I had a different teacher this time.  Miss Tiffany, and she was a really nice person.  She had me learn a bit more different stuff, and we did some dancing that was very fun where we got to throw stuff in the air and it looked like popcorn, so we had a popcorn song. 

Week 21

Scotty-

Math:  In math I did estimating.  I hated it.  It is really hard for me not to write the right answer and just guess.

Language Arts: I learned about Non-Fiction and Fictions.  Fiction is a made up story and non-fiction is when it's real.  The lady bug non-fiction was my favorite. 

Science: This week we learned about how glass is made.  People make glass by taking sand and putting it in a really hot oven.  Then is comes out the other side as molten sand and then they let it dry and it's glass.  First they cut some of it off. 

Tech:  I built a rover and I made it drive around the room and then I made it deliver a little hamburger I built to mom.  It had a sensor and a trailer and a lifting thingy. 

Karate: I practiced blocks in karate, but my arm hurt so I had to leave early. 

Beth-

Math: In math I learned about the hundreds place on decimal street.  It's even bigger than the tens and they were super tall.  It is hard to remember all the houses names.

Language Arts: I read a story about a mom fat fish and her baby small fish and the baby was on her back.

Dance: I was really happy to go back to dance this time. We were there early and so I danced in the empty room and it was really fun to twirl and twirl and not crash.

Week 18-20

Scotty-

Math: We learned about New Year's and the ball dropping in Time Square.  But it isn't the same here and all over the world!  So mom told us about the time changing when you move around the world.  Hawaii is different then here and Japan is different.  So we figured out the time where my family lives.

Language Arts: I read so many things this time because I got NEW POKEMON BOOKS!  Christmas got me new books and I am so excited about it!

Science: I learned about what is the coldest place on earth and it is the South Pole.  We learned about where bugs go in the winter.  Some die and their eggs keep living, and some kind of hibernate. Animals do it too, like frogs.  The frog didn't go very far under the mud, and it froze, and it had special blood that keeps it from dying. 

Tech:  I built a race car out of Lego's and it went really fast.  When you move your hand in the front, there is a little sensor that makes it drive forward.

Karate: We were doing jumping front kicks and we tried to hit a pad and at first it was as high as our neck, Ryder came in first and I don't know where I came in.

Beth-

Math: It was New Year's, and did you know that it is different times at different places in the earth?  We figured out what time was the start over time in Hawaii and in Japan, (my uncle lives there!)  my brain thought that was crazy!

Language Arts: I did a puzzle of the alphabet. I read the book Princess Black.  She was a princess who was normal during the day, but she was strong and fought monsters sometimes.

Dance: I couldn't go to dance this week and I was sad. I love dance.  But it was Christmas. But mom had me watch the Nutcracker Ballet.  I loved it, they had such pretty dresses and spinned so good!  ON THEIR TOES!

Week 17

Scotty-

Math: I did a bunch of reviewing and red and blue make brown.  I messed up and had to fix stuff.

Language Arts:  I read a chapter of a book called The Enormous Egg and then I wrote down my favorite part from the chapter.

Science: I learned about how money is made.  And someone once stamped a coin twice and it was worth $2,000 dollars and it was only a penny. The money is made of cotton and linen.  And it's against the law to print money.  People can even go to jail for doing that.

Tech: I built it was called drive, it was a little machine that drives forward, it wouldn't stay up, so I added the little things on the front that are like hands to help hold it up.  Then I added eyes just for fun.

Karate:  I couldn't go to karate because I was so sick.  So I practiced at home.  I want to get my next belt!

Beth-

Math: This time I practiced the same thing again. I had to see if I knew the same things I knew before.

Language Arts:  I read a story about a man and his cat that wanted to lick him.

Dance: We just keep learning the Christmas dance. It is fun to dance with the star wand though!

Week 16

Scotty-

Math: I learned to skip by fives.  I also learned about money.  The nickel is worth 5.  Mom told me a story where someone stole her money, because they tricked her by saying nickels are worth more than dimes because they are bigger.  So dimes are worth 10 cents and they tricked her. I need to know my money so no one can trick me. 

Language Arts:  I learned about Homophones.  They are words that sound the same but mean different things.  Like eight and ate and to and two.  I also am learning my spelling again with the teapot poem.

Science: We asked the question, "Why is Mars red?"  The answer is because there is lots of Iron in the ground and it rusts from water.  They think there was water on Mars a long time ago.  We also watched a bonus about, robots.  My two favorites were one Spot Mini and robot arms that could make you dinner.  Spot Mini is like a dog and it was giving a guy his drink and doing the dishes and opening a door.

Tech:  I built a dolphin in tech and I made it swim.  It didn't have building instructions, so I had to figure it out with pictures.

Karate:  Karate was really hard this week.  I had to keep doing things over and over that I didn't know.

Beth-

Math: This week I learned about the units and the tens house.  They live on decimal street.  The tens live in a blue house and the units live in a green house.

Language Arts:  I read a story about kids running into a shack.  And also I learned a new word and it says A. And also that new word "said".

Dance: We just keep learning the Christmas dance. It is fun to dance with the star wand though!

Week 14

Scotty-

Math:  I practiced writing by 10's.  I was excited because I kind of already knew some of this that I learned.

Language Arts:   I read a whole entire book.  It was a long one about a raccoon. It also was in a Christmas tree and Christmas is now, so it was so cool!

Science: This mystery this week was if there was ever really dragons.  There wasn't really dragons, but they think that old people from long time ago found old dinosaurs bones and they thought they were dragons. 

Tech:  I built another Lego Wedo.  This one pulled tires.  It was so fun!

Karate:  In karate this week I got my gold belt!  I passed! So excited!
