Typing

I completed a can-do activity called dance typing mat. This activity is used to practise typing withput looking at the keyboard. 

First I went on dance mat typing and put up a 15 minute timer.

Next I placed my fingers in the right place I had to type without looking at the keyboard.. 

To finish up I put in my results into a google slide. Then I wrote in what I need to improve on. 

I need to practise working faster and without looking at the keyboard.

Mad Libs

I did an activity called madlibs. I had to write down a boy's name, an animal, a place, another place, and an action.

First I wrote down a boy's name, the name was Jake.

Next I wrote down an animal, it was a snake.

Then I wrote down place, the place was New York.

Afterward I wrote down another place, the place was Las Vegas.

Lastly I wrote down an action, the action was dance.

I enjoyed this task because it can make lots of story to tell your little brothers and sisters 

Basic Facts Boxes

I did a Speed Demon Challenge of addition up to 10.

In 3 minutes 12 seconds I got 100/100.

I think I need to go faster because it was addition up to 10 which was easy.

Reasons about Recycling

 We had to write reasons for a persuasive text.

First I chose a topic about recycling. I had to write 5 reasons why we have to recycle. For example: People should recycle more because recycling converts energy.

Next we had to find websites that link with the reason.

Last I wrote another reason about  8 million tons of plastic ending up in our oceans every year. 

I learned a lot about how it reduces ocean pollution and recycling reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills.

SSR Selfie - The Sewer Stink

 I read 20 pages of The Sewer Stinks by Tom Angleberger.

This Story is about a mouse name Geronimo. His friend Herclue wants to go on a mission about the sewer stink.

I agree with Herclue that Gerenimo should go on a mission.

Too Much Technology

We did a synthesis and a QAR with about a persuasive text called Too Much Technology

First  I made a Synthesis template where I wrote my prior knowledge, my new information, and my new understanding. Prior knowledge is something you already know, new information is something new that you learnt, and new understanding is something you now understand.

Next we did a QAR task.  We had to answer the questions and put it in one of the boxes.  The boxes were: Right there, Think and search, Author and me, and On my own

I learned a lot about this activity because I used my reading skills to answer the questions. 

Skip Counting and Repeated Addition

Repeating addition and skip counting are strategies for multiplication and divison.

Skip counting is counting up or counting down by a certain number using addtion.

Here's a Problem Sam has seven, 5 doller notes how much money does he have all together?. 

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35. The answer is 35 dollars because if you skip counted in fives 7 times the answer is 35.    

Repeated Addition is repeating a the same number using addition.For example 7+7+7+7+7=35. Here's a problem Mike was at the beach for five days he collected 14 sea shells every day to keep how many shells does he have in total?  14 +14 +14 +14 +14 =70 the answer is 70 because 14 is added 5 times.                                                                    

I learnt a lot about skip counting and repeated addition.
