Problem Solving

We used to Place value to solve a maths equation. The equation is Leilani has to practise dance for 90 minutes she has already practised for 24 minutes, 26 minutes and 17 minutes.

First we started by adding to the ones. For example: 6 + 4 + 7 = 10, 10 + 7 = 17

Next we added all the tens. For example: 20 + 20 +10 = 50

Then we added the answers all together. For example: 10 + 50 + 7 = 67

Lastly we minus 67 from the 90. For example: 90 - 60 - 7 = 23.

Leilani has 23 more minutes for dance practice.

I liked this activity because it helps me slove math problems.

I read a book called Ghosts. By Raina Telgemeier.

In the beginning of the book Catrina and her family are moving to Bahia de la luna California. Her sister Maya has cystic fibrosis it affects the breathing and digestion and there is no cure. Their neighbors invited them over to have a  dinner and told them that there are ghosts in Bahia de la luna.

I like this book because it is very interesting and catraina is caring to her sister.

Basic Facts Boxes

 I completed a subtration speed demon challenge. 

My score was 100/100. My time was 9 minutes 21 seconds.

I think I need to work on my basic facts boxes so I can get faster.

Steps Web

Today I did some step web activitys. 

The first activity I did is called definitions. In this activity they give us a definition. Next there is going to have some words under the definition. Then you choose the word you think is right.

The next activity I did is called choose the word. In this activity you have to complete the sentence. For example: He ___ a slice of cake.

I read a book called Fruit Kebabs. By Alice Patrick and illustrated by Jenny Cooper.

In the story there is a little girl and her brother making fruit kebabs. First they washed the grapes and peel the apples, kiwi friut, bananas, and oranges.Then they cut the fruit into small pieces and put it on the stick. Then gave it to the vistors.

I liked reading this book because I learnt how to make fruit kebabs.

Why you should not eat fast food

 I learnt how to use persuading reasons.

First I tried looking for some ideas for the topic. My topic was food and my argument was why you should not eat fast food

Next I wrote some reasons why you should not eat fast food and I did some research on why you should not eat fast food to back up my reasons. 

I had three reasons and here is what I came up with: Eating this kind of unhealthy food can have negative health consequences over time such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and other health issues. Eating fast food can harm a person's health. This is because most fast food is high in sugar, salt, saturated fat and trans fats, processed ingredients, and calories. Eating fast food high in sodium can lead to increased headaches and migraine.

I think I could do better on my reasons.

Synthesis and QAR

I learnt to do synthesis and QAR on a text called Fun Fantastic Fabulous Fitness.

First we read the text Fun Fantastic Fabulous Fitness. It talked about why fitness is good, why schools should have more time on sports  and fitness to be healthy. 

Next we did our synthesis. The synthesis has three boxes: prior knowledge, new information and  new understandings.

Last I did my QAR. The QAR has questions to answer and has four boxes right there, think and search, author  and you and on my own. 

I liked this because I learnt some new information in this text.
