November By: Zach & Jacob

In math I am learning about dividing fractions it is actually really easy, once you get it. I am also learning how to multiply fractions it is almost like dividing them. All you do different is you make the 2nd fraction a reciprocal then you multiply, then make it a mixed number. I also learned about that you can cross fractions so you don’t need to simplify latter in the problem.
I am in the aleks program I am over 60% done with aleks. It is super fun. Every other week I am on a roll and the other week I get stuck on easy topics like crazy, but I like it. I just have to work harder
I am making social project. I am making a map on Mohenjo-Daro. It is kind of hard first I have to make a rough draft then I am working on the real one. I am almost finished with it. I just need to color in a few things like the houses and the grain.
In language arts we are writing our own books with 8 pages. Each page has a different prompt. We are also learning different kinds of figurative language. In language arts I am working on pronouns. We are doing where you put them in sentences and you have to find the word and make it a pronoun.
In science I am working on we started a new chapter in our book. It is about matter, weight, and volume. We just started it a few days ago it is pretty fun so far. We did groups and rotated stations we had to draw a poster for one of the stations. We even got marsh mellows and after we got to eat them.
