Recount for the win!

Wow! We have been very busy looking at recount writing. Recount writing retells past events and aims to inform or entertain the reader. Today we looked at three different examples of a recount text: My Little Sister Ate One Hare, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs and Chester (in French). We completed our Shape Go Map for two of these stories to help us understand the various elements of the text. I had a great time with these books! We have a few more interesting ones to come next week! Stay tuned!

Awesome thing of the day

Patterns


They are all around us. They can be found in nature, math, language, art, etc. They allow us to predict what's coming and solve problems quickly and effectively.

Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

PS Since I forgot to write a post yesterday, here was my awesome thing:


Clearing up a misconception


A false idea or belief. Everyone has them at some point in their life. Perhaps you thought that an odd number was made up of only odd numbers or that it had to start with an odd number. Perhaps you thought that cricket and croquet were the same thing (who does that anyway?!). Having that ah-ha moment, realizing you were wrong and saving yourself a ton of embarrassment in the future... Awesome!
