I read a book called Ghosts by Raina Telgemeier.

I read 1 chapter of the book. The main characters of the book are Catrina and her family. 

In the beginning of the story Catrina and her family are moving to the coast of Northern California because her little sister, Maya, is sick. Cat isn’t happy about leaving her friends for Bahia de la Luna, but Maya has cystic fibrosis.

Then I had to look for three word that I don't understand and look it up.

enjoyed reading this book because it is very interesting and it kinda gave me goosebumps. And next I could read a non-fiction book.

Basic Fact Boxes

 I completed subtraction speed demon challenge. 

My score was 100/100 and my time was 3 minutes and 49 seconds. 

Next Time I will try to do a harder challenge, like up to 10. 

Dancing Mat Typing

I completed a can-do activity called Dance Mat Typing. This activity is used to practise typing without looking at the keyboard. 

First I went on the dance mat typing and setted up a 15 minute timer.

Next I placed my fingers on the home row keys. They are A,S,D,F,G,H,J,K,L,: 

To finish up I put my results into a google slide. Then I wrote what I need to improve on. 

I need to improve practise on looking at the screen, not the keyboard. 

Synthesis and QAR Templet

Today for reading we did a Synthesis template and a QAR template.

First we started on the synthesis template. We had to read a text and write down prior knowledge new information and new understandings.

Then I finished working on the prior knowledge new information and new understandings.

Lastly we worked on the QAR template. We had to read question and put them in right there, think and search, aurthor or you, and on my own and wrote down the answers.

I really enjoyed this task, but I could've tried a harder text.

Water Safety

I went swimming to learn water safety.

First activity was line stroke. To do a line strok we had our hands out in front of our heads and with our legs kicking. Then we moved on to a different activity.

Second activity was arm circles. For example: We had to make circles with our arms with our legs kicking. We all successfully passed.

Last activity was dolphin diving with our hands up front and our legs kicking down. Then we got out of the swimming pools and came back to school.

I enjoyed swimming and learning more skills.

Opinions

Today leanrt what opinons means. It means a thought of people have about a topic.

First I looked at a picture of an animal. When I looked at the animal and thought what it looked like. In my opinion I saw a rabbit but other people could see a duck and a hedgehog.

Then looked at a different picture. It was a elephant with more then 4 legs. I thought and counted the legs. In my opinion there were 6 legs and it was trying to trick me.

I enjoyed this task and learning optical illusions. 

Check out the picture I found below.

This are the picture I was talking about.

This picture is a picture that I found. What do you see. (Quick hint turn the picture to the right.)
