Diving By Fours

I was learning how to divide by fours.  I found it easy because I have learnt how to divide by four.  I made one mistake because did not know the answer and I guessed.  My next step is to get all of the answers correct.

Daily 5 reading Evidence

LI:   I am learning how to participate in Daily 5 Reading rotations.

SC:   I can follow the task requirements for each rotation.

I can be self-managing.

• Read to self
• Read to someone
• Listen to Reading
• Word Work
• Work on Writing
• Conference with Teacher

My Reflection:  

What helps my learning is reading to someone and self, because my fluency improves.

What I find tricky is staying in one spot for 20 minutes

Something I am working on improving is 'reading to my self'.

'Did you ever?' Poem

My name is Jayda.  I go to Elm Park School and I'm in Room 19 with Mrs Taljaard.  I'm doing a blog so that I can post my work and get feedback.  I enjoy maths, writing and playing.  This year I hope to participate in hockey and netball.  I'm looking forward to having lots of visitors and reading your comments.

My African Praise Poem

African Praise Poem.

How do I feel about myself?

The African culture is steeped in oral tradition, and the traditional way

for Africans to introduce themselves in a new situation.

IALT write a traditional Praise Poem, to introduce myself to the class.

Success Criteria:

I will explore the subject of African praise poetry,

I will take risks, and use imagery to reveal myself in poetic form.

I will follow the structure of a typical African Praise poem.

I will perform my poem to an audience, maybe using drums.

Structure:

Line 1 -        Introducing myself.

Line 2 –           Introduction to my family and heritage.
Line 3 -        Animal metaphor
Line 4 –         Nature metaphor
Line 5 –         Personality and Qualities
Chorus -           Refrain describing my talents, co-written by my peers.

My reflection: This was hard because of the writing in the poem.  Next time I will write more letters in the poem.
