Teamwork has three different type of mechanisims. 

Communicaton is planning something or talking to others. Sports have teams and the teamates in the teams communicate to plan something out or tell someone whats coming near them.

Cooperation is working together as a team. Teammates agree to plans and others thing to be sucessful.

Collabration is working with someone to complete something.

Teamwork is important because you make new friends and be sucessful

Multiplication

 Multiplication is a fast way of adding the same numbers many times. The three, four, and sixs are examples of multiplication.

The six times tables are multiplying six by a number of groups. 

The four times tables are easy to count.

The three times tables are easy to add and count.

The times tables are an easy to remember basic multiplication equations.                                                        The next times tables to learn are the seven, eight , and nine times tables.

Making Connections

Making Connections is looking at a text and finding similarites. 

There are three types of connections and they are text to self, text to text, and text to world. 

Text to self is connection about yourself, friends, or family. For example: The duck returned the food to the villagers. Opinion: The duck did the right thing as it was their food. My connection was my younger cousin took my older cousin’s   cupcake and I gave back my older cousin’s cupcake. 

These connect because they both are examples of people having things taken from them and returned by someone else.

Text to text is a connection about a story with the same fact and opinion. For example:The duck tells the rat that she has a sister. Opinion: The duck was trying not to get eaten. My connection was : Cinderella tricks the Prince into thinking she is a princess. She does this because she wants to get away from her step mother. These connect because they are trying to get in to a better situation.

Text to world is a connection about people. For example:The duck gave water to the horse.The duck could see the horse was tired and struggling. My connection was People in the world give food and water to those in need.These connect because someone is tired and someone else is giving  them water. 

Making connections are important because its a good reading strategy.

Character Trait Summary

  A Character Trait is things about that character. Character Traits are all the aspects of a persons behavior that make up that person's personality.Character traits are often shown with descriptive adjectives, like patient, unfaithful, or jealous. 

In the story The Highway Rat there are 3 main characters.

Character traits for the duck. The duck was frighted when the rat stopped the duck.                                    The duck was frighted because the rat had a pointy sword and pointed it at the duck. But then the duck had a idea to trick the rat so she could not be eaten.

The duck is kind because she returned the food back to the villagers and she fed water to the horse.She is kind because she got the water and the food by herself.

Charcter Traits are important to people and kids because they get to know about the character and if the character is kind or is not kind.

Fact or Opinion

I did a task called Fact or Opinion.

 My character was The Duck.

 I started with my first fact, my first fact was that the duck returned the food to the villagers. My opinion was that it was the right thing to do.

 I had to write 4 facts about the duck and 4 opinion's about what the duck did comparing to the fact next to     it.

 After I finished the facts and the opinion I wrote 5 adjectives in each opinion to describe the character traits.

 I learnt some adjective words by doing this activity how it you have to be nice to people.

Multipulcation

My group and I did Multipulcation. 

We grouped the counters into small groups. 

After we grouped the counters we counted how many groups there were.

 After that we used the times table to find the amount. 

After we found the amount we made a into a rectangle. 

We took a picture of the rectangle and  putted the mulipulcation on top of the picture on the rectangle in google slides. 

Our number was 2 and our third slide  multipulcation was 2x12 = 24.

I really enjoyed the multipulcation task and I learned multipulation.
