Literacy, Skip Counting and Google Slides!

Literacy

This week we have been focusing on practicing the Reading Comprehension strategy of VISUALIZING.

We have been practiing listening to text and making a mental picture that we then draw and add details of the story to such as character description, setting details, feelings etc.

We can draw the first mental picture or visualization that we have upon first listening to the story, and then we after reading the text multiple times we can come back and see how many more details our visualizations now include.

Skip Counting

This week we made our very own number line. We were challenged to figure out how many numbers are between 0-10 and 10-20 and 30-40 and so on. The numbers inbetween are our decades or tens and they are important landmark numbers.

We made our own number lines and practiced skip counting by 5s to 100 and circling all of the decades or 10s on our numberline.

Here are a few interactive Hundred's Charts that you can use to practice skip counting forwards and backwards at home:

Google Slides 

This week we have continued working on our Google Slides. Last week we worked on creating a Title Page and a slide on Appearance.

Today we focused on creating a slide for Habitat and Diet. 

Tomorrow we will add a slide for Enemies and Interesting Facts.

Our last 2 slides will be for Helpful or Harmful and Life Cycle.

This slide show can be worked on at home so long as we have discussed which part we are going to work on with our partner. 

We have been learning how to change font size, colour, highlight text, add a bulleted or numbered list, add images and make our images bigger or smaller too! 

Today we also learned how to add a link to our slideshow. 

Ask me what part I am enjoying the most and maybe what I am finding the most challenging
