My brother and I have been working on projects on DIY a fun site where you can do projects and share them and get badges if you master certain skills.

Here's some of the work I've completed so far on Khan Academy. I still practice multiplication and division on Arcademics and have started learning about decimals.
I've also started reading the books Life of Fred which is fun story math with my dad.

Secrets of Droon
I've been reading The Secrets Of Droon.
I like the books because they are interesting.
The main character is Eric. And the other Characters are Julie, Neal, Max, Galen, the Wizard, and King Zello the king of Jaffa City and Relna the Queen of Jaffa city, Ko, Sparr, Gethwing,and the Ninns.
The Ninns are with Sparr the bad guy with Gethwing and Ko.
And the others are the good guys.
One day Eric, Neal and Julie went into Eric’s house and threw a soccer ball in the basement and it rolled into a closet and disappeared. Julie Eric and Neal go into the closet and the turn off the light and the floor underneath them becomes a shimmering rainbow colored staircase.
They find the ball and go down the staircase, but leave the ball in the closet they see a magical world. Then they find a girl. She says her name is Keah. Then suddenly some Ninns come on some gargoyles. I can’t tell you the rest but you can read the series and find out what happens. I can tell you some parts of the other books but only some. First part is This bad skeleton dude that can make other skeleton’s. Another part is when Neal becomes a Genie. the other is that Julie gets bitten by a wingwolf and she gets the ability to fly. The other part is when Eric gets shocked by Keah and then he has wizard sparks.
Robert E. Lee
Robert Edward Lee was a general that served as a commander of the US army for 32 years! He was married to Mary Anna Custis Lee.
Robert Edward Lee’s nickname was the marble man because he was very nice man and there were many monuments built is his honor. he was also considered to be a man nearly perfect just like marble is. that is how his nickname marble man was adopted.
Lee was also part of the civil war as a general of the Confederate Army of Virginia in the American Civil War. the civil war lasted four years. Unfortunately during the war 600,000 people died. He had 7 kids. And he died at age 63.

Animal Facts from WildKratts
Lately I’ve been learning from the WildKratt shows about
animals:
Here are some of the things I learned about:
Beavers
1) Did you know that beavers eat tree bark when they are
hungry?
Pigeons
1) Did you know pigeons have a magnet in their brains that
tells them where home is?
Elephants
1) Did you know that elephants have around 2070 muscles in
their trunk we have 270 in our whole bodies?
2) If an elephant can’t get leaves from a tree and they’re
too high he will knock down the tree and get the leaves when they are on the
ground.
Rhinos
1) Did you know birds go on black rhinos backs and if there
is danger they will scream and give an alarm?
Why do they go on their backs? Because they eat ticks and
other insects and they get food and the rhino gets cleaned.
Octopus
1) Did you know that when a predator like a shark comes and
tries to eat an octopus it changes color like a chameleon?
If the shark sees it, it can still get away by shooting out
ink and then swim using jet propulsion.

Vocabulary words
I learned these words today:
Gullible it means someone that can trick you very easily or you believe anything someone says.
Superb It means excellent. In my Wii soccer game the commentator always says superb save by the keeper.
Genre is a category mostly of music and art.
Hunch means that your guessing based on something you know.
Imaginative lets say you built a castle with blocks. An imaginative castle is something that is not real but from your imagination.

The Black Death
The Black Death was a Pandemic infectious disease. It started in China. And five million people died from it. A ship that came from China brought the disease to Europe. So many people died that there weren’t even enough graves for all of them. People didn’t know how to cure themselves. The doctors of the time actually caused more harm than help. They kept bleeding people hoping to help them but it didn't help at all it only made things worse. The black death spread all the way to England. Iam very grateful that i didn't live when the black death was around.
