I Will Multiply Monomials (Courseware/Exempt)

Today I learned about how to multiply monomials with exponents. I Also learned how to do it when there was more than one exponent and monomial. I Think i am doing very well with this section. There is some hard parts like when you have to do the negitive exponents or base numbers and combine them to make one base number and one exponent. Thats all i learned today.

I can anser factual and inferential questons about reading passages

today I read three different short stories. The first one was pretty short. Second one was in between, but the third one was the longest story out of all. I had to read the story first then they asked me a couple questions i had to answer about what i had read, and when i forgot what the answer was i would just go back and re-read the story again.

I Will Subtract Monomials (Courseware/Exempt)

Today I learned what monomials are. And how to add and subtract them. I also learned that if there is one negitive in a subtraction problem then make the problem have two negitaves and them make it be a addition problem then you will get your answer.

i can identify the meaning of disease, bacteria, virus, germ, and pathogen.

i learned that there are 2 types of diseases. communicable, and noncommunicable.
communicable diseases are contagious and noncommunicable diseases are not.
AIDS is an example of a communicable disease because it can be spread. i learned that
people who have AIDS don't die from the infection itself, they die because it destroys their immune system so they can't fight off other diseases.

i can identify important steps in the water cycle, the nitrogen cycle, & the carbon/oxygen cycle

i learned that the water cycle has 4 major parts. evaporation, transpiration, condensation and precipitation. the fresh water we drink only makes up about 1% of the earth so the water cycle is very important since it recycles the water we need to drink to survive. the nitrogen cycle was a little confusing for me but i understood it enough to pass the mastery test. the carbon/oxygen cycle shows the relationship between plants and animals. plants give off oxygen for us to use and we give off carbon dioxide for the plants to use.
