Mali: This week I started multi digit addition in math. It is not too hard. I just have to remember to add the right columns and then put the right answer in the right spot. I did a writing assignment about what fun things I did over the weekend.
Max: I finished all of the Diary of a Minecraft Zombie books that we have at our house so my mom got the next ten books from the library. They are fun books. In math I am working on reviewing all of my multiplication facts. We got a fun app called Sushi Monster that helps me practice the multiplication facts.
In science we learned about nerves. We learned that you have a really long nerve that goes from your spine to your foot. It's called the sciatic nerve. It's crazy that it is just one cell! All animals have nervous systems except for sponges. We also learned about the respiratory system. Not all animals have lungs. Bugs don't have lungs, they have little holes around their bodies called spiracles. Amphibians breathe through both their skin and their lungs. Fish have gills. In people and some other animals the diaphragm is a muscle that is responsible for moving up and down and that helps the lungs fill up with air by adjusting the air pressure.
Mali figured out how to play one of her music class songs on the xylophone
