A Learning Log

This week I learned how write a five minuet speech, that Jacques is pronounced jock, (and that Shakespeare wrote his plays to do more than just entertain people, he also wrote them to get his point across, and to make his audiences think). About the names of muscles, how to tell which direction were going without a compass, that the east mountains are bigger than the west mountains. I learned in ballet doing certain bar combinations really fast some times is good for your brain. And that Poly Pockets don't last for ever (theirs a funny story behind that discovery, but I cant write it here cus then this would not be a learning log)
 . . . . umm . . . oh yes and how to simplify fractions.
