Making a plan

We need to have only one or a few words in our plan. The plan has to be about the topic. It needs 3 or more ideas. When we use the plan to do our writing, we need to write 2 or more sentences about each idea. The plan helps us to remember what happened. We need to start and end our writing with a sentence about the topic.

I found making a plan easy I only had to write a few words. I find it tricky when I have to do a lot of writing.

Counting on from the bigger number

We are learning to count on from the bigger number. We have to start at the number after the bigger number. Then we have to look at the other number to know how many more to count. It is easy for me to count on from the bigger number.

Finding root words

We are learning about root words. They can end with either s, ed, or ing. When you put different letters at the end, that makes new words like-- playing, plays and played. I find it easy to find root words and to make new words with root words.
