Learning Log - Due Jan 26, 2026

Mon 1/19- I had swimming lessons in the morning. It is Martin Luther King Jr. day. For dinner I made pizza with my friend and sister.



Tues 1/20-
Today I had piano lessons. I practiced my handwriting, then I helped my mom clean the house to prepare for her book club in the evening. They read "Theo of Golden" by Allen Levi and she's obsessed with it. I also did my math lesson 46 on Fahrenheit and Celsius. 





Wed 1/21- I had my last day of swimming lessons level 4. I passed and get to move up to level 5! For math I did a review assignment. For Language Arts we read the poem "Rain" by Elizabeth Coatsworth. and found the simile: "The rain was like a little mouse." I made my own simile, "the rain was like an angry kid." Today we did something fun, I got to teach my mom how to play a game on Roblox called "Work at a Pizza Place." She thinks it is really hard and I think it is funny to watch her try to play. She does think there are some interesting similarities to real life, like sometimes other workers don't do what they are supposed to and then they get fired, just like in the game.

Thurs 1/22- There was an earthquake today, but I didn't even notice it! My mom and I talked about earthquakes and did some earthquake drills. I had an orthodontist appointment. They wanted to put braces back on me and I decided I want to wait a little longer. I also did math lesson 47 about long division and the review practice.


Fri 1/23- I wrote in my journal today about if I were an astronaut. 



 I also typed a letter to the fictional character in the Lost Library named Evan. Here is what I wrote: "Dear Evan, I'm sorry your dad didn't tell you about the library that burned down. I think he might have burned it down."

We also drove down to Cedar City for my Great-Grandmother's funeral. That was my first time going to a viewing and funeral. I hadn't wanted to go, but it was not as bad as I thought it would be.

Monday - For Math we learned about rounding numbers to the nearest million and cleaned up my room. My brother is moving his room downstairs, so I have the room all to myself. We are going to design what my room can be like! I want glow in the dark stars on my ceiling! We forgot about the making muffins zoom call, but mom and I still made muffins. They were yummy! Tuesday - Today we had our Brain Balance zoom call, and did another math assignment. We fed my pet Praying Mantis and learned that the mealworms need water to stay alive too, by cutting up fruit and giving to them. We also found a spider eating a butterfly! Wednesday - Today we went to a playgroup, but only a couple young kids were there. But mom and I practiced jump rope. We also did a math assignment. We also read a chapter in Pollyanna about hanging crystals in the window and watching them scatter rainbows. So we did that too. Pollyanna said we can all be like prisms by spreading joy. Thursday - Today my mom took my sister ...

 October 6-12 Monday: I practiced handwriting, did my brain balance exercises, and we worked on painting my room! Tuesday: I did more handwriting practice, and had my brain balance zoom call with my trainer. Wednesday: We went on a field trip to Bridal Veil Falls and a park nearby. We walked and listened to and identified different birds. We came to some camp sites and we pretended we were detectives learning about what the people did or ate at their camp. It was surprising how people left clues behind. We talked about leaving no trace. We also went to KFC and we met a man who worked there with disabilities. He talked to us kind of different, but we were nice to him and he kept wanting to do "pound it" knuckles. We talked a lot about showing kindness to people who are different. We also went to IKEA to choose curtains for my bedroom! Friday: Today we did some Language Arts, my last build box for year 1 of crunch labs, a piano lesson and to a playgroup. There weren't many ...

Today we learned about contrasting colors and did pixel art and made a magazine collage out of ripped up magazines. It was fun and silly. We also did Math and I took a nap! Later my Lego Spike kit came in the mail. I'm excited to learn how to use it. Thursday: It was a hard day. My hamster, Windy, died. We had a funeral for her and and a Praying Mantis was in attendance. He became my new pet. I named him Sunny. We got some mealworms and roaches to feed him. I still miss Windy, but I'm happy that Sunny brightened my day. We watched some videos about how to care for a Praying Mantis. Friday: Today I participated in a Flex Friday on Zoom. I played Minecraft and showed everyone my world. ...
