What a New Year!/ What did we learn?
The first month of the year 2018 was very exciting! On January 1, that was a start of a fresh new year, but what did we do that month? Well, first to start of with, we did mentor sentences! Yes, it has been a while, but we finally came around to do it! Second, we have been learning about how to make an inference. The way we make an inference is to combine what the text provides and what we already know. For Example, we have watched a short film about a man and a pigeon, in the text it provides that the pigeon was trapped in the briefcase with buttons and controls. The pigeon also wanted to get the man's bagel and we already know that pigeons will do anything to get food. So, the inference is that the pigeon was only attcking with the controls because he wanted the bagel. Third, in math, we learned about comparing numerical patterns in algebra. We also learned how to evaluate and write expressions, but remember an expression is like an equation, but WITHOUT an equal sign. Next onto Science, we are learning about things that help the enviorment in the ecosystem. FUN FACT: Did you know that decomposers break down dead orginisms, so they can recycle the nutrients back to the soil?
Making a New Friend!
One of the best things that we have done this month was probably being told that we are having some penpals from France! Currently, our teacher, Mrs. Paterson, is in the process of sending our letters to our penpals! We all wrote letters and most of us drew pictures or printed them out then glued them on! Comment Question: What do you think the topic will be when your penpal writes back?
Lets make an inference about February 2018!
Yes, January might be ending, but don't worry we already completed 1 out of 12 months of the year 2018. So, what are your inferences about the month of February? We already know that we might be doing more mentor sentences because from the first paragraph we have been doing mentor sentences throughout January. When we do something from the previous month wouldn't it make sense that we will be doing it in the next month? Anyway, comment down below what's your inference about the month of February!
