Basic Facts Boxes

This week I did Basic Facts Boxes.

First I had to pick a subject befores putting in the answer. For example : There are +, -, x, and divisions. I picked addition because I think it’s a great way to start.

Next I had to pick a random to start with or order to start with. I picked an order to start with easy and then random to end with hard.

Lastly I had to press check to see if my answer was correct. I got 100/100 because I have been learning my basic facts while I am away from school.

I enjoyed doing Basic Facts Boxes. I did well at figuring out the answer. I need to improve on doing divisions next.

Figurative Language

This week we have been learning about figurative Language in poetry. Figurative Language is the use of non-literal phrases or words to create further meaning in writing or speech.

First we had to think about in a group what figurative language, a simile, a metaphor, a hyperbole, and an idiom is. A Simile is to figure a speech involving one thing. A metaphor is a thing regarded as something else. A hyperbole is a state or claims that are not meant to be taken literally. For example : I can eat a horse. And an idiom is a group of words by using individual words.

Next we had to write down 3 sentences using metaphors. Metaphors are non – literal. For example : Life is a highway. Her eyes were diamonds. He is a shining star.

Then we had to write down 3 similes we could use to describe this red character. The name of the movie is called turning red. For the 3 similes I wrote down. He was a red panda. She’s so fluffy like a cat and she has magic.

Afterwards, I had to choose a character to write down 3 sentences about using similes or metaphors. I picked Matilda because I think it will be awesome and fun to write about.

Lastly I had to write 4 sentences using both similes and metaphors to describe what it would feel like on a rollercoaster.

I enjoyed doing this task for writing. I did well at describing the red panda. I need to improve on writing down more similes and metaphors.

The Loch ness Monster

The Scotland theres a famous lake called lock ness.

There is a monster called the lock ness that swims in the lake. The Loch Ness Lake is 23 wide long and 37 km wide. It is 1 mile and 1.6 km wilde. Peole thinks the lock ness monster is fake but I think it’s real because every country has a monster. For example : New Zealand has a monster called a Taniwha. So that means Scotland monster is the Loch Ness for them.

The Legend of the Loch Ness monster is more than 1,400 years old. The oldest story is about a monk at Lock Ness in 1933, A new road was built around the lake.

People saw the Loch Ness monster and talked about it and wrote down about it in the news paper.

Do you think the Loch Ness Monster is real?

Empathy

This week for PB4L we learned about Empathy.

Empathy is the ability to share someone else’s feelings or experiences by imagining what it would be like to be in that person’s situation – putting yourself in someone else’s shoes.

First we watched a video called “Mojo discovers The Maze.” About this sotry it talkas about how mojo learns different emotions get in the way of his and team’s success.

Next we had to Contribute a Jamboard answering the questions about what we watched. For example : What did “MUM” mean when they said “we can impact how others feel”?

Lastly we had to create a poster explaining what empathy is and what it looks like in the classroom. For example : Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of other people who had a rough time or had a hard time.
