We did many things in ILA this week. In art, we worked on our videos about this class. I really liked this project. It was fun to look back and see what we did so far this year. The only thing I didn't like, was I thought we weren't given enough time. I felt a little rushed. Hopefully, next time we do a project, we will be given more time.
In Science, we have been testing different types of water. We tested some things like hardness, ph, and for different chemicals. Testing water ties in with what we are doing for Social Studies. In Social Studies, we are in groups of three for this project. We each got a different "association" about water in school, and we have to give a presentation about what we support. I like how in Science and Social Studies we are doing things separate, but they are related. Also, we started to learn about the Periodic Table, and atoms. Most of what we are doing with that right now is a review from last year, so it is not that hard.
In English, we finished up with Of Mice and Men. I really enjoyed reading this book. Before I read it, I never knew how many inequalities there were in the 30's. Also, I didn't realize how they were treated and discriminated against. I look forward to reading another book in English.
On Friday, we watched the movie for Of Mice and Men. We didn't finish the movie yet, but what we saw so far I thought was very similar to the book. There were only a few parts that were different. I thought the movie was good, but I liked the book better.
