We were very busy in ILA this week. With finals coming up, we reviewed in English, Science, and Social Studies. We also worked a lot on our final projects. In art, we finished up or water color projects. A lot was accomplished this week.
To review in English, we practiced commas, semi-colons, colons, underlining, and quotes. We took the same pretest we took at the beginning of the year. It seemed so much easier this time! I am really understanding when to use these different grammar rules better than I did before. I like how we are integrating English with the other subjects by including the rules when we write papers. On Monday, we are having our English final. I think we are well prepared, and it should be easy.
In Science, we are still working with the periodic table. We practiced chemical equations too. I remembered this from last year, so it wasn't too hard. We also did a lab. In this lab, we used the Bunsen Burners to set different chemicals on fire. The chemicals made the flames different colors. It was really cool. Some of the flames turned cool colors like green and purple. I am looking forward to finishing up the lab.
We didn't work on Social Studies very much this week. At the beginning of the week we got to look at National Geographic magazines. The magazines were very old, and it was fun to look at the different articles, pictures, and advertisements in them. The point of looking at them was to see what geography actually is. I thought that looking at those magazines was fun, and an interesting way to learn.
Most of the week, we worked on our final projects. I am almost done with my project. I think that it is turning out well. All the work time really helped me make it better. I think I will have it done before it is due, and I am looking forward to presenting it.
