You decide which is more interesting?
1. I got out of bed. I could not find my mom.
2. "Mom! Where are you?" I screamed as I stumbled out of bed.
3. Where could she be? It had been half an hour since I had got out of my bed and there was still no sight of Mom.
Of course, we still have to remember all the skills, such as revising our work to make sure it makes sense and editing to catch punctuation and spelling errors.
We think that readers will really want to read our work if we capture their attention with interesting beginnings. You can help your child at home by gathering a group of related item and asking your student to explain what they all have in common. Then have them begin a paragraph with a question or some direct speech.
We transferred this knowledge to our social studies. We thought of how we could begin our work on Animals in War using a question. We also looked more closely at how authors use titles and subtitles to organize our work. To communicate our ideas we could choose between words or pictures wth a few words. Here are some great examples!
We are applying our knowledge about friendly number pairs and doubles to help us find the perimeter of different shapes. Some of us still need a lot of practice about the different shape names, particularly the less common ones, such as polygon and quadrilateral. We are beginning to understand that adding unit values, such as cm or 'people' is important. We are also beginning to realize we do not need all the measurements to be written out. For example, if we know one side of a square, then we know all the sides. Extra practice at home would be beneficial to your child if they find this challenging.
