December By: Seth

December was a pretty short month because of Christmas Break, but it was certainly really fun. We did a lot of holiday activities which was fun. I personally think it was a kind of easy month because of the shortened month and the breaks we took to do holiday activities.
In Math this month, I started Algebra 2 with Trigonometry. So far, I have really struggled through it, but I’m starting to understand some of the new concepts. We also have started playing different types of 24 games, which is where you’re given a set of numbers and you try to make 24 with them. My goal is to finish Algebra 2 before the end of 3rd quarter.
In Science, we have finished the first chapter of Matter and Energy, which I have really liked. We have learned all about mass, matter, volume, and weight. For the end of the chapter project, we did a compare and contrast multimedia project on different parts of Matter and Energy.
In Social Studies, we learned about India and took our final test. We got to learn about the differences and similarities of Buddhism and Hinduism. We also learned did a lot on the set up of Mohenjo- Daro and city in Ancient India, and how the Indus River helped the civilization to survive. We will now start learning about Ancient China.
In Writer’s Workshop we have been working on our books and the 7 prompts for them. Our deadline to finish is Thursday, January 12. In Reader’s Workshop we did book clubs at the end of the month. I read The Son of Neptune with Drew. Overall, December was probably my favorite month overall.
