Math
Today, I learned how to make bar graphs. Here's a list of what you need to make a graph:
● Data (duh!)
● x axis and y axis
● Labels
● Title
● Numbers
● Interval
● Bars
First you should collect your data. If you don't have any, you won't have a graph. Then the x axis and the y axis. Here is a picture of what it looks like:

Those lines are where you put your numbers. Next is the labeling. Put a label next to your numbers so people know what the numbers are for. Next is the title. Just put on an appropriate title that goes with what your graph is about. Next is the interval. It's the spacing between your numbers. You can go 2,4,6,8,10 or 1,2,3,4,5,6 or 10,20,30 and so on. Pick one that's not too long. Last is the bars! That's the thing that completes it. Now you have the perfect graph.


Language Arts
Today, we went to the library to work on a Martin Luther King Jr. chart. We had certain events to find the time the place, and why it's important. One of the most important events I did was the I Have A Dream speech. Everyone knows why is it important. Or at least has an idea. The network was very slow so I could not finish, but nobody did.

Science
Today, we started our unit on rocks. You know, Metamorphic, Igneous, and Sedimentary. First, we knew made a list of things we knew about rocks. Then we compared and added others. We saw some ood facts and some weird facts. Then, we examined many kinds of rocks and made a Venn Diagram. After that, we wrote down the definitions of some rock terms. Finally, the day was done.
