Unit Reflections
This morning students selected the work they would like to include in their IB Binders from our UOI units. Tomorrow we will select the math work we would like to include in our IB Binders based on
- What we tried our hardest on
- What we did our best on
- What we need to improve on

Unit of Inquiry
We continued to learn about soil and the different types of nutrients soil provides plants with. We learned how they nutrients contribute to the growth of plants. We also learned about the different types of soil we have, along with the texture and structure of each type.

RECESS/ LUNCH

Reading Buddies
We had reading buddies with Mr. Foster's class today!

Inquiry into Math
Today we learned all about the difference between congruent and similar shapes. We looked at examples of what similar shapes are vs. what they are not. 
Congruent shapes means that the figures are the exact same size and shape.
Similar shapes are alike based on the proportion of the shape. They need to have proportional side lengths along with the same angle. We used dot paper to help us create similar and congruent shapes.
EX: If you have two triangles who do not have proportionate side lengths or same angles, then those two shapes are not similar.
We completed some examples together on the board, then students went off to complete work independently. Once they finished their independent work, students began to explore angles on a computer game to gain some knowledge of what we will be learning tomorrow.
