Week 35 5/18/2018 Weekly Report

Language Arts - I finished adding the dress ups for my Goldilocks story. I watched the 
final lesson on Disc 2 of IEW Student Writing Intensive B. I did a keyword outline of the 
story of the salt peddler and the donkey. I read some more in The Martian.

 Math - I started chapter 7 which is percents. I learned how to find what percent of a number 
another number is, and how to calculate a certain percent of a number. 

Makerspace - We prepared for the Maker showcase and worked on cleaning up the 
Makerspace. Monday night we had the showcase. 

 Art - I started to do a pencil picture. I’m drawing storm clouds.

Science - In Uzinggo I learned about lunar and solar eclipses. A lunar eclipse is when the 
earth’s shadow blocks out the moon, and a solar eclipse is when the moon blocks out the 
sun. A lunar eclipse happens at night and a solar eclipse happens during the day. A solar 
eclipse can only be seen from a certain part of the world along a fairly narrow path, whereas 
a lunar eclipse can be seen by half the world at a time. Our mold terrariums are really gross
and moldy. We are keeping them for one more week and then will throw them away, as it will
have been a month. We also watched science videos a couple of times at lunch this week. 

 Other - I have my last game for Bantam basketball league for March league play.

Week 34 5/11/2018 Weekly Report

Language Arts - I worked some more on my Goldilocks story and added the dress-ups. I read some more of The Martian. I did TTRS.

Math - Finished the second review of Chapter 6. Also did Hands On Equations 3.

Makerspace - I worked on my project. It requires a lot of precision which is hard since I am not that good with the tools.

Art - I finished my rose and brought it home.

Science - I did some lessons on space science. I learned about how there are a lot of different telescopes to observe different things, like ray telescopes, radio telescopes, and x-ray telescopes. I learned about the different kinds and what they are used for.

Week 33 5/4/2018 Weekly Report

Language Arts - This week I used the Story Structure Outline to do an outline of Goldilocks and the Three Bears and then I used that to write up my own version of the story. We spent some time editing it and will finish it next week. I also had a spelling lesson. I finally got back to reading The Martian as I haven’t had much time to read it the past couple weeks. Did my TTRS lessons.

Math - More with rates and proportions and graphing them and calculating unit rate. I started the review of Chapter 6. Also did some Hands On Equations 3.

Makerspace - My stuff came to work on my final project. I also went to the open lab day to get some more time to work on it.

Art - Still working on my rose. So many petals to do.

Science - We checked our mold terrariums. My one in the fridge is not moldy at all. The ones out of the fridge are starting to mold--especially the orange slice.

Other - My best friend’s birthday was this week so I got to go to his party. I also had a one on one practice with my basketball coach. That was really helpful and I played really good in the game on Saturday. We ended up losing by 3 but I felt good about how I played.
