One of my goals for term 3 is to use a variety of different transition words in my writing. I want to improve this because in my 3 way conference we talked about improving that. I can do this by using a thesaurus, asking peers or by looking at the wall of writing transitions. My second goal is to memorise my times tables. (6,8,12.) I want to memorise them because in the future it’ll be much easier if I have a test because I’ll just know the answer off the top of my head. I can do this by doing multiplication work sheets. Finally, my third goal is to improve my reading fluency. I want to accomplish this so that I can read more books during book club. I can do this by simply reading more books at a faster rate.

During this project I learned so much. I especially learned a lot about constellations. I learned that you can only see certain constellations in parts of the year. For example, you can only see the Orion in the winter (January) or like Leo in the spring (March). To figure this out we made models and called them Universe in a Box. We made them with paper, scissors, tape and brad. It was a blast! These models showed us what constellations are connected to each season. This project was my favourite out of the Mystery Science projects we did and I will try one night to find constellations according to the month.
