I am Learning to Write a CInquain Poem.

In Room 8 we have been learning how to write a cinquain poem. These poems have a special order that the words have to be put in. We have practiced writing cinquains in our writing books and published our most recent poems on winter.

Success Criteria:

- All words must relate to the topic.

- The second line must contain two adjectives.

- The third line must contain three verbs with an -ing ending.

- The fourth line must be a four word sentence about winter.

Winter

Freezing, cold

Playing, snowing, running

Playing, fighting with snowballs

Ice

My Reflection

I think that I did a good job of writing my winter poem.

I found it easy to write cinquain poems because they are short and I could finish them fast.

I think that the hardest part was thinking of the verbs. It can also be tricky to think of a sentence with only four words.

The easiest part was writing the topic at the top.

I am Learning to Identify 2D and 3D Shapes.

In Room 8 we have been learning about Geometry. We have looked at different 2D and 3D shapes and their different parts. We learned that shapes have different numbers of sides, faces, edges and corners of vertices.

We had a lot of fun making monsters out of different shapes!

My monster's name is Herebriyne. He can disappear and he is a ninja. He was disappearing and he was a 3D shape. He would be a cone. He is a triangle.

My Reflection
I think that I did very well.
I found geometry easy because I see different shapes everyday.
I think that 3D shapes are harder to learn about than 2D shapes.
I liked learning about geometry.
