Mali Week 14

 We went to the Tracy Aviary this week. My favorite birds were the barn owls. I had never seen them so close. They are much bigger than I thought they would be. I also liked the burrowing owls. 




These are some pictures I took on Election Day a couple weeks ago. My mom had done a Biden/Trump Dinovember so I set up some pictures with the dinos and their signs and took pictures. 




For Daddy Fun Time we went to see the lights at University Mall and I took my camera and took some pictures. 










In science we learned about glow in the dark things and the different ways things can glow, including the animals that can glow. 

I did my Toe By Toe lessons and practiced math facts. 

I drew these TacoCats this week.





Max Week 14

 I worked on a new BitsBox coding project this week. It was called BlockyFlock.

 We went to the Tracy Aviary this week. My favorite bird there was a little duck called the Red Shoveler. It was really small and chubby. We didn't get a good picture of the ducks but here is the info sign.  



In Science we learned about why spicy things taste hot and why minty things taste cold. They have chemicals that bind with the hot or cold receptors on our tongues. I thought that was interesting. I don't really like spicy foods. 

I went over OW words that have the long O sound. Like SNOW/THROW/KNOW. 

I did math and language arts. 

I am having a lot of fun drawing pictures on our boogie boards. Here is one of the drawings I did this week.

Max Week 13

 This week I finished the next unit in my Language Arts program. For math I filled in missing numbers on number lines and also compared numbers in the hundreds and matched numbers with their pictures as shown with base ten blocks. In science we learned about plants. In History we learned about Australia and New Zealand. We played Bellz also this week and that was fun. It is a magnetic game. We had music class. We have been practicing songs with the red and yellow chords. I did an app in my BitsBox as well this week. It was a flying dragon. I had fun changing the dragon to a more cartoony dragon and then to a penguin, which didn't make sense really but I liked it.

I had to read the words on a popsicle stick and try and drop them into a container on the ground. It was pretty easy except for the last stick, which for some reason took me like six tries!

Mali Week 13

 This week I did lessons in my Toe By Toe and I also did math. One of my math activities was dealing with and counting money, focusing on dimes and pennies In history we learned about Australia and New Zealand. In science we learned about plants and how they grow new plants. Some plants have special cells called meristem cells that make it so a part of a plant can grow a whole new plant. My mom ordered some wooden gingerbread man cutouts and we decorated them. We played a game where we hid them around the house. We also made six and I wrote "Happy Holidays" cards and we delivered them to some neighbors. Mom mom helped me make a cardboard Gingerbread House and I decorated it. We also made sugar cookies.
