What Journal- What my Fox was Doing

            My fox was out hunting when it made the tracks on the ground. I would guess this because there are also rabbit tracks near where the fox tracks are and foxes often hunt rabbits. I can tell the fox was hunting because the tracks go from close together to far apart this tells me the fox has gone from walking to running which is a sign of hunting. That is why I believe that the fox was hunting when it made these tracks.

Week 3: Outdoors Who?

Who Journal- Example

            When I look at the track that I found today I believe that I have found a fox track. It looks like a fox track because it looks similar to a dog but is smaller. The reason I think it is a fox and not a Coyote is because when I look on page 47 of Wild animal Tracks of Ontario I found that the fox track is 4cm wide while the coyote is 6 cm wide and this track is 4cm wide. That is why I believe this is a fox track.

My Random Paragraphs

My Random Paragraphs

Whens Lunch

They need to be connected by transition sentences.  

EXAMPLES

I like cake

Man I really like cake. I like cake because it is really sweet. There are a lot of different types of cake out there, my favorite type of cake is the one that my mom makes. My mom makes cakes with many different flavours throughout all the layers. You can have cake on many different occasions.

I like soccer

One time you can have cake is after winning a soccer championship. A few days ago my team won our soccer Championship and it was so cool! We went out to dairy queen after and my coach bought me a big slice of ice cream cake because I was the star goalie. I really like playing soccer with my friends.

I like slime

Slime is one of my favorite things to play with. I enjoy playing with slime because I can form it into anything that I want to. I also really enjoy it because it feels weird between my fingers. Slime is super satisfying to play with because it is very squishy.

I like squishies

Another thing that is satisfying to play with are squishies. Squishies are fun to play with because they make cool sounds when you squish them. I also really like how they feel. This is why I like to play with squishies.

Grade 5's Transitions Between Paragraphs

Today we are looking at transition from one paragraph to the next. The video above explains a few ways we can do this.
