Multiplication Strategies
My Reflection
I am learning to use three strategies to solve multiplication problems.
I found this easy because we had a teacher to show it first and now I understand.
The easiest strategy that I found out was the place value strategy because I understood how to split the tens and ones to multiply them.
My next step is to try and use the compensation strategy because I got confused sometimes with adding and then remembering to subtract.

My Volcano Landscape Art
We Were learning how to apply paint. We learnt two techniques-dragging with cardboard and dabbing
with a sponge. Dabbing and dragging created a very good effect for our landscape. You can see that dragging makes the ash clouds and the dabbing makes the grass that part was my favourite.
I like my volcano landscape!

My Special Place
My Reflection
I was learning how to use my senses add detail to my writing so that I can make my writing more interesting for my reader.
This writing was easy because I know my five senses and it helped me for my writing.
Something that helped me was the brainstorm for my writing because it gave me more ideas.
Something that was tricky is to use more punctuation because I didn't have many ideas about punctuation.
My next step is to use this skill in my other writing to add detail.

Comparing Animals Venn Diagram
My Reflection
I have been learning to find information in a non-fiction book by skimming and scanning.
Skimming is when we read quickly over a text or book to get an idea of what the book is about.
Scanning is when we look for specific information in a text and we we look for key words or phrases.
I read a book about butterflies. I skimmed and scanned the book for facts about butterflies.
I buddied up with Krupa to compare animals using a Venn Diagram.
I found this easy because the laptop helped me to find lot's of information.
My next step is to find more interesting information about butterflies.
