Week 20 1/26/2018 Weekly Report

Language Arts - I did a key word summary and paragraph from the story The Donkey
and his Driver. I did a journal entry about our first week of co-op. I had spelling lessons
and did TTRS.

Math - I did more Hands On Equations 3. I went over division and multiplication one step
equations in Math Mammoth 7A. I practiced math facts on XtraMath.

Makerspace - We are still designing our project in Inkscape.

Art - Still no art class because my teacher was on break. I didn’t really have a chance
to do any art on my own because we were pretty busy with co-op starting up again this
week.

Science - This semester I get to learn a lot of science. I am in a Mystery Science class
at our co-op that my mom is teaching. This week we learned about the volcano that
popped up in a Mexican field in 1943 and about the Pacific Ring of Fire. We split into
groups and graphed where different volcanoes are.I am also doing a biology class and
this week we learned about the parts of cells and what they do and in class we got to
make a cookie cell with candy organelles, so that was really fun.

Other - I had a Junior Jazz game this weekend. We lost the game but I scored 18
points. At co-op I am taking an Art of Argument class and a Highly Effective Habits
for Teens class. I am also in a Guest Lecture class, and this week my dad’s business
partner came in and talked about one of the jobs they are working on which is developing
AI stuff for a drone. He brought the drone, which was pretty cool. I also had First Lego
League. Our tournament is next Saturday. My dad (the coach for FLL) and I had a group
phone call with a scientist about our idea for something that would help water quality.

Week 19 1/19/2018 Weekly Report

Language Arts - This week I proofread and made changes on my keyword summary on
the farmer and his sons. I also had spelling lessons. I am rereading some of my Tom
Gates books because I need to get some new books to read. On Friday we did a
freewrite on our favorite candy. We also did bit of a refresher on basic sentence
diagramming. I did TTRS lessons.

Math - I did more Hands On Equations 3 as well as some XtraMath practice. In Math
Mammoth 7 I did chapter 3, One Step Equations. It was mostly review since I’d already
learned about equations and practiced them a lot in Hands On Equations.

Makerspace - We didn’t have Makerspace this week because of the holiday.

Art - My art teacher is still on break but my siblings and mom and I did some Art for Kids
Hub videos on YouTube. They were pretty simple but still fun.

Science - We watched videos this week. Quite a few about atoms and also a really neat
one about how televisions work by the SloMo Guys. In my Uzinggo lessons I learned about
water testing of surface water and learned about groundwater.

Other - I had a basketball game this week. I scored 7 points in my game. I also got to go
skiing at Sundance with my dad and sister since we FINALLY got a good storm.

Week 18 1/12/2018 Weekly Report

Week 18 1/12/2018

Language Arts - I did a keyword outline from a story and wrote a summary of it. I also typed
up a poem from a book that I liked. I also had spelling lessons and we read more of A Wrinkle
in Time.

Math - I did some lessons in Math Mammoth 7A about negative fractions and averaging

positive/negative values. I also went over Order of Operations and did the reviews for
Chapter 2.

Makerspace - We worked on Inkscape to design a project. We are making logos for things
we thought of such as as a super hero, a company, a fashion line, etc.

Art - My art teacher just had a baby so we won’t have classes for a few weeks. We did take
a field trip down to the Springville Art Museum and it was fun to see the art. They also had
some fun interactive activities that my little siblings and I played around with.

Science - In our Steve Spangler box we had some fun Science of Toys activities/
experiments. We got to play with Magic Sand, which has a hydrophobic coating so it doesn’t
really get wet. It also looks really shiny and clumps together when it is under water. We also
got a Drinking Bird and it was cool to see how that works. I thought it was interesting that the
evaporation off the head was enough to cool it down and cause the whole thing to work. In
Uzinggo I am learning about the Water Cycle. We also watched some videos on water and
its properties including surface tension, and saw how many droplets of water we could get
on a penny or a quarter.  

Other - I had my 3rd Junior Jazz game this week. We won and so we are undefeated so far.
I really like my coach. I also had First Lego League and went skiing with my dad and sister.
I had to teach a lesson at church. I actually was supposed to teach it in December but I got
sick, then they wanted me to teach it a couple weeks ago but it ended up being a combined
lesson, so I FINALLY taught it on January 7th. I was really glad to have it over with!

Week 17 1/5/2018 Weekly Report

Language Arts - I did another key word outline and paragraph from IEW SWI Level B.
I also did TTRS. Over the break I finally finished The Death Cure. My mom started reading
A Wrinkle in Time to my siblings and I this week. It is interesting so far. I also did some
spelling lessons.

Math - I did XtraMath practice, Hands On Equations, and also some Math Mammoth 7
lessons on negative integers, and multiplying/dividing with negative integers.

Makerspace - We didn’t have Makerspace this week.

Art - I did a Christmas painting during the break and I finished and brought home my
mountains/lake painting this week.

Science - We watched some Magic School Bus Rides Again videos with my little siblings.
I also did Uzinggo lessons and learned about the different types of chemical reactions.
Exothermic and endothermic. Exothermic means it gives off heat and endothermic means
it absorbs heat energy from the environment.

Other - Over the break I had my birthday (Christmas Eve). I got a new Rubiks Cube, a Lego
Technic set, a Diary of a Wimpy Kid book, the PieFace game, and I got to go skiing with my
dad and sister. Christmas was really fun. We played a lot of board games and video games.
