Unit 4 Reflection

1. Tell why you think it is important to be able to divide numbers. For what kind of problems do you need to use division?

It is important too divide numbers because if you are having trouble on multiplication you can always have help with division too remember your time tables. You can also use division for helping you shop for milk or eggs or anything. You can also use it for finding half's of numbers and for fractions too.



2. Tell what part of this unit was the most difficult for you and why. Describe what you did to overcome any difficulties you had.

It was a little difficult too divide the bigger numbers put when Mr. Daw showed me a really good strategy called long division it really helped and I realized that I was the best at using long division.


Parables

The Parable Of The Sower
This story is about how Jesus told a large crowd about God's word. Jesus used things on earth as an example .

There was a farmer that was sowing his seeds when all of a sudden the seeds rolled away. Some of the seeds fell along the path and the crows ate it up just like a man that hears the word of god but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart.

The other seeds fell on rocky places that had not much soil, it grew quickly. But when the sun came up it scorched the plants just like the man who who hears the word of God and is filled with joy but to only to lose the excitement of doing this.

Other seeds fell among thorns and chocked the plants as the grew up just like the man who hears the word and then worries of his life and wealth.

But the seeds that fall on good soil and grows more than 100 or more crops is the man who hears the word of God and understands it.

Writing Reflection

1. What do I notice about myself as a writer as I read through my work?

I notice that I like to describe things. The things I really like to describe the way it looks and the movement. I usually find at least some sort of error in my writing as I go through it.

2. How have I changed as a writer so far?

Since I read other people's writing the use a different type of writing I can try different styles. Last year I didn't have much of a opportunity to look and share my writing with others. I really looking forward and approving this year. I'm really grateful that we have Google Docs. Google Docs makes it really easy to share with others and has made me be able to see other patterns of writing.

3. What are three things I do well as a writer?

Well I think I'm pretty good at describing and showing how others feel and try not to tell but show. I practiced my describing so that my personal narrative wouldn't turn out to be a report and it wouldn't hook the reader in. I also think that I'm good at writing the first sentence too try and hook the reader in and try to get the reader to want to read more. Also I think I'm good at making up characters and show the reader their problems, fears, hopes and their solution that ends the whole story.

4. What are some things I want to get stronger at as a writer?

I struggling to get a grip on to show not tell. Describing really did help a lot but I'm still not sure if I'm there yet. But I'm sure that I well be able to achieve that this year. Mr.Daw brought up to try and not use the word (I) all the time but that is going to be a challenge for me this year.


5. What is my favorite piece, and what are the things I love about it?

My favorite piece is a piece that I made this year and it is called The Life O f Stephanie Jones. I like it because I got to make my own character and got to decide their own life and their own future an their own problems.

Math learnig

DESCRIBE WHAT YOU LIKED ABOUT PLAYING THE GAME FACTOR CAPTOR.

I liked the way how we had to find different ways to find a number and experience new multiples of that number. I also like the challenge you had to face when there was an impossible number. It also helped me learn my factors.

EXPLAIN HOW MAKING AN ARRAY MIGHT HELP SOMEONE FIND FACTORS OF A NUMBER.

Well if someone doesn't know their multiples and their factors arrays help them keep organized but doesn't help with large numbers.

LOOK BACK THROUGH JOURNAL PAGES 2-28. WHAT ACTIVITY OR LESSON DID YOU ENJOY MOST IN THIS UNIT AND WHAT DID YOU LEARN FROM IT?

On page 10 is Factor Pairs. That was my favorite thing in this unit. I learned about how organized and how nicely it fits in with multiplication. I learned about the rainbow too.


Devolping my learning about learning

WHAT SUBJECT I"M I BEST AT AND FAVORITE?

Well my best subject is writing. But it doesn't mean that I still don't learn from it. From the last few weeks I learned that when you have a title from a magazine or a newspaper you put this '' before and after the title. I like writing because I like to write about how I feel or rewriting a moment. I also like to share with others to see their opinion. Even though this is my talent doesn't mean that I'm perfect. There are also somethings that I might not understand.

This isn't my only subject I'm good at and is my favorite, my other favorite is art. I like art because of the creativity, it never stops. I learned so far that if you make a mistake try and make the better of it.

This is my last subject that is my favorite and I'm good at. Reading because I like to read about others and like to learn new words that might be helpful for my writing. I also learn about the way that the author uses the sentences.
