Max - Week 31

In math we practiced more addition facts to 15. We got to play Spot It one day as part of math which was fun. We learned to play a game called Corners where you get points when you make 5s, 10s, 15s or 20s. 

I finished reading book 5 of the Bone series. I did my language arts lessons. I am memorizing a poem. I practiced spelling words and handwriting and did pages in Explode the Code. 

I did some coding for BitsBox. 

We went swimming at the rec center and it was really fun. We also got to go to a park one day.

Mali - Week 31

 On Monday I sewed a snake. My mom had sewn some for my older siblings years ago and I thought it would be fun to do one. She helped me make a pattern but then I did almost all of the sewing. I made a mistake and cut too close to the seams so I had to patch up a couple of little holes, but I learned some things so next time I won't have as many problems. 

In my Toe By Toe I worked on silent e and how it makes the vowel in front of it say its name. 

In math we practiced more addition facts to 15. We got to play Spot It one day as part of math which was fun. We learned to play a game called Corners where you get points when you make 5s, 10s, 15s or 20s. 

I learned about silent e making the vowel before it say its name. We made some superhero e cards to remember that it makes the other letters feel brave so they can say their names. I practiced silent e nonsense words in my Toe By Toe. 

We went to the all abilities playground in Spanish Fork. The zipline there is not very fun but the big seated swings are really fun. 

A close up I took of Good Luck bear. 

We watched Captain Marvel and I drew this picture of Goose

This one has Nick Fury's hand

On St. Patrick's Day I did this sentence in my Explode the Code book so we made the guy 

into a leprechaun

The flip I did before we decided to record one was

the best one, of course!

Mali - Week 30

 My favorite thing I did this week was make a Solar System. I did it while we were learning about the Solar System for science class. The next day I made a bunch of puppets that go along with the different planets and I put on a play. 

I also did math and reading and history this week. I had music class and practiced my songs. 

I also got together with my friend Beatrice and our moms helped us with a sewing project. We made pillowcases with pockets. 

Playing Go to the Dump to practicing making 15s

Our pillowcases. Mine is just the right size, which is good, because we 

weren't sure what size my pillow was. 

Max - Week 30

 In Science this week we started learning about geology and we also learned about the solar system. I really like learning about space so I already knew a lot of the facts we went over. We found a cool NASA website and I had fun exploring the different things on it about the solar system. 

In history we learned about the Turks conquest of Constantinople and how it was renamed Istanbul. 

I read more of Bone book 5. I did my language arts lessons. 

Here is an app that I finished coding. Narwhals Love Donuts

We did some math lessons and worksheets. We also played a new version of Go To the Dump to make 15s. We played Racko and Clumsy Thief. 

We went on a bike ride along the river trail and had fun climbing around a giant fallen tree. 

For Daddy Fun Time we got to go to the All Abilities Playground in Orem. We hadn't been there in a while and it was fun. 

Mali and I made these aliens out of legos. 

Building numbers with the abacus. 

Cool big fallen tree

I made an About Me booklet for language arts

Max - Week 29

 This week I finished reading Bone book 4. I started Bone book 5. 

In math we learned about number pairs that equal 100. We also learned about digits and right triangles. We played Trouble, Clumsy Thief Junior, Clumsy Thief Candy Shop, and Racko. 

We got the PlusPlus pieces we ordered so I was able to build the Quicksilver that I wanted to make. One of the sets was a dinosaur so I built that, too, by following the directions. 

I worked on BitsBox this week. I will share one of my new apps next week for my learning log. 

Mom got me a turtle figurine and I love it. Eventually I am going to get a real tortoise for a pet but for now I am having fun playing with this guy. I even took him to church. 

I was exploring on Google Earth and I found this big group of penguins. I love penguins!

Three of our chickens started laying eggs this week!

Racko!

We built different rectangles with these papers

This rectangle used all five of the smaller ones

We learned about right triangles. 

They have one 90 degree angle (perpendicular)

We found all the capital letters that have perpendicular lines in them

I made a tangram square

Mali punched out around this penguin picture for me

We used solar paper to make these pictures. Mine is an abstract penguin

Quicksilver!

Mali - Week 29

 This week my favorite thing I did was to make stop motion videos with the Stop Motion Studio app. I made one with my mom, one with my brother Clive, and then a couple on my own. The one with my  mom tied in with my reading practice, as I was working on AR words. I got my hand in a few frames but oh well. 

I got to go skating quite a few times this week. One day we went to Lakeview Park by our house and had a picnic lunch. It was nice!

I read quite a few stories for practice from the Run, Bug, Run reader. I have read them all before but its good practice. 

We learned about right triangles in math this week

and made some with tangrams

Made different sizes of rectangles with these pieces

We got some solar paper and exposed it . I like the "shadow"
