Madeleine's Typing Progress

Reading Log Reflection

In my reading log I notice that I'm reading just right and challenging books. I know this because readers at 5th grade typically read 3/4-1 page per minute. I'm typically readying 20 pages in 20 minutes for my just right books, and 13 pages in 20 minutes for my challenging books. A new genre I am passionate about is realistic fiction because I can really relate to some situations that the characters go into. One reading habit that has helped me this year is having big group discussions in our read-aloud book Wonder by R.J. Palacio because I can hear other people's thinking, and I can see the book in different lenses.

RLA Reflection

In Reading, we have been learning new ways to think about our novels. The most helpful type of thinking for me has been envisioning. An example of this is:
"I can can Hugo walking in the shadows in the train station, and I can see him go into his secret passage. This makes me think that Hugo is a mysterious boy. "
This envision I wrote was about the book The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick.
Envisioning helps me because I can see what the character is seeing and somethings I can understand what the character is feeling.

Science

We have finished Investigation 1 in Science. It was on Mixtures and Solutions. The new learning I discovered was how paper filters work and what solutions and what diatomaceous earth is.
The most interesting thing I learnt was that evaporation can separate solutions. What I enjoy about science is learning new scientific words.
