I Am Learning To Use Capital Letters And Full Stops

I am learning to use capital letters correctly:
I use a capital letter at the beginning of a sentence.
I use a capital letter for the word ‘I.’
I use a capital letter for names of things.

I am learning to use full stops correctly:
I use a full stop at the end of a sentence.



When I grow up I want to be a policeman because I want to ride a police motorbike.


Reflection:
I am learning to use capital letters correctly
I was able to use a capital letter for the word ‘I.’
I found this easy because when I was year one I learnt to write words correctly.
My next step it to use a capital letter for names of things.


I Am Learning to Read Bar Graphs and Talk About the Results

I am learning to read a bar graph and answer questions

I need to:
*read the question
*read the data (information) on the graph
*identify the lowest (fewest) and highest (most) bars
*read the quantities
*compare the data on the graph
*answer questions about the data (information) on the graph


Savelii-  Eric has the most games. He has 11 games. Nathaniel has the fewest games and he has 7.


I am learning to read a bar graph and answer questions.
I was able to compare the data on the graph.
I found this easy and I got it all correct.
My next step is to read and figure out different graphs.

I am learning to chunk our words.
I was able to chunk the words.
I found this easy because I am good at my reading.
My next step is to practise chunking trickier words.
