Math
Today, we once again worked volume. We practiced it on a couple pages of our math journal. Just like before, it was base x height x width=volume. After completing those couple of pages, we continued working on the four 4's problems. I finally got 25 of them and I got to move on to the six 6's problems. I only had to do about 5 so I finished in no time. My partner and I just made random equations then saw if we could right it down. It was very easy.

Language Arts
Today, we continued working on The Board. I started on all three choices and I'm close to done. For the discussion questions, I only have around 5 or 4 left. For artful artist, I already drew the scene and I'm almost done writing my reflection. For the sheet with many topics, I just need to answer all the questions and I'm done. I almost have everything done and it's due by the end of tomorrow's school day. I can finish in time.

Social Studies
Today, we took yet another “speed test” on the 13 colonies and we got an impressive time of 1 min. and 53 sec. which beat the other two classes by a lot. We then filled out more of our study packet. We filled out the chart about city life. There were vocabulary words which were laborer and artisan. An artisan is someone who is good at making something by hand. A laborer is someone who does hard physical work. City Life and Farming Life have their differences but they both make you work.
