Welcome to Portable 2

Hello Parents and Students,

I have restarted my blog as there seems to be an interest from parents.

We are off to a great start this year.

In language we are working on writing complete sentences.

Students know ...

A sentence is always a complete thought. It starts with a capital and ends with either a period, question mark or an exclamation mark. It has a noun/ pronoun and a verb. Finally, a sentence states something, gives a command or asks a question.

We have already started writing paragraphs. Children have already started developing great topic sentences, a body of 3/4 sentences and closing sentence at the end.

In math, we have finished Unit 1: Patterning and have just began Unit 2: Whole numbers. More information to follow.
