Math- In math, we are doing ALEKS, a computerized program based so that we can work at our own pace. We are both in it, and it is a lot of fun. We also play a game called 24, when you are given 4 numbers. Then, using any operation and any order, you try to make 24 out of it. Also, we do it in a venn-diagram. There are 3 numbers in the outside circles, and then you try to find the variable that would fit in the middle. It has to be the same for both, otherwise it ruins the point of the game.
L.A. - We are set in a torture class, where we must use our brains to understand the symbols on the page! This disease is life-threatening, and we ask all parents to donate to this horrid cause… Just Kidding! In this lovely class, we get to choose our own groups, and choose the book we read. There is a homework assignment to go along with the reading that we do that night. In Writer's workshop, we are working on our 7 writing prompts. We have to do subjects like: If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be? And, If you could meet anyone in the world, (Dead or alive), who would you meet?
Science – In this class we recently took a test on matter, atoms, and molecules. To learn this subject, we were put into groups, and then each group got to go to different centers, which were placed throughout the room.
S.S. – In this evil and dark class, we must read out of a textbook! How terrible! But, at least we get to do a project. We made a map of Mohenjo-Daro and tried to include as many details as possible such as; Citadel, Paved Roads, Around 40,000 People, Manholes, etc. It was a lot of fun.
