Robotics: Drumming Monkey

Hi!  

I'm Porter and I LOVE building with Legos!

Last year, my sister, Myanna, did Engino.

She likes to work with me on my Lego projects this year.

We learn a lot about teamwork and 

work really well together because we both love it so much.

 Here is my drumming monkey - All finished!

I love watching it move!

We tried 4 different ways to put on the 'cam wheels'.

The first was opposite eachother.

It made the sound: 'Dun -- Dun --"

The second one was at an angle from the first.

It went: "-- Dun Dun --"

The third one: I took one of the double 'cams' and made the double into a set opposite from each other.

It went: "-- Dun Dun Dun"

On the fourth one, I did the same as the last one to the other double cams. 

Now the sound went: "Dun Dun Dun Dun"

Here's what I had put on paper.

 It was so neat to watch the gears turning to make the arms lift. 

I liked watching the cams lift the arms and lower them to make the arms hit my little cup.

I love Legos!

My Learning

I wanted to share with you some other things that I have been doing for school!

I have a word family flip book that I started reading. 

It has funny and real word combinations in it.

I practice my writing.  

I try to make my writing neat!

I practice my math facts on Timez Attack!

This is one of my favorite games. And  I learn from it too!

My sisters and I love to go to the lake!

We measure how far the water comes up every day, 

we read a story on the beach,

we use our math with adding and dividing things like treats or pine needles,

and even paddle in the paddle boat.

We have to take a trail to get to the lake.

My sisters help me when it's steep and a little slippery.

We have good teamwork.

Until next week!

Porter, signing out.
