Learning Log - Due Feb. 16, 2026


Mon. 9th

We had devotional and then read from "What Your 4th Grader Needs to Know" about Atoms, Islam, Monks and Gregorian chants, and we listened to some of them. 

We did Math Lesson 54 about finding missing factors.

Then swim lessons, practiced piano and went one mile on the exercise bike. 

This was the sunrise view from our deck this morning! We might try and paint it!



Tues. 10th

I had piano lessons. I memorized "River Song", I really like that song. 

We learned about Fredrick Handel and listened to his Hallelujah Chorus. 

We read more about Islam and Muhammed.

Math Lesson 55

Language arts lesson 

Coded to created a solar system in Minecraft, and several glass planets that I decorated with plants.

In the evening we went to my first hockey game. My sister was singing in it. It was fun to watch and cheer. Sadly the Grizzley's lost by one point.



Wed. 11th

We did art with friends today, practiced drawing hearts and doodling. My mom bought a flute and showed it to us and played it for us. The little kids love chasing me around and tickling me. They're cute.


We came home and watched "Chariots of Fire" since we finished reading about Eric Liddel. It was kind of boring, but we got through it.


Thurs. 12th

Today mom and I took the car in for an oil change. While we were waiting, we did Language Arts lesson 36, learned about the artist Theodore Verstraete and about sentence diagramming direct objects.

We also did Math lesson 56 about finding the perimeter and area of a triangle.


Fri. 13th

We read about the saying "As the crow flies", and the Qur'an and 5 pillars of Islam. Also about Fran Joseph Hayden and listened to his "Suprise" Symphony No. 94 in G. I liked listening to it.

We also learned about different kinds of Atoms and elements. Language Arts lesson 37 about painter Emile Claus, and practiced prepositions. Vocabulary for the words "Rumor" and "Promptly" and diagrammed sentences.

We went outside and played with the chickens for a little while, until I tripped and sprained my ankle. It hurt so bad. I borrowed some crutches from a neighbor, but I'm feeling better now. We talked about superstition and how some people believe Friday the 13th is an unlucky day. It felt that way to me!

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 ...

We did a Math review and learned about Onomatopoeias.  Wednesday: Today we visited my mom's friend and her kids. We do art with them once a month. 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. ...
