Inquiry into Language
This morning we read Chapter 12 of our novel study, "The Wonderful Machine." Once we finished reading this, students broke out into their summary writing groups to write a summary on this chapter. From what I have heard so far, it sounds like these summaries are going be written much better than the previous ones.

Inquiry into Math
In Math, we learned how to use both long division and short division to solve division questions. As a class, we went through the steps together, and talked about how the colour the digit is written in matches the colour of the step. Once we went through one example together, students worked on their whiteboards to answer the questions on the board. Some of the students grasped at least one of these strategies really quickly. For those who did grasp how to use the strategies, and finished before their peers, I had them go and teach a peer who was struggling. Eventually it got to the point where there were several students who were able to go around and teach others since they learned how to do it from another classmate of theirs. Tomorrow we will continue with doing some examples together, then students will go off to solve questions on their own.

Unit of Inquiry
We learned all about our values today! Values are traits or qualities that are considered important to oneself. Our values direct how we live our day-to-day lives by influencing the choices we make. Using the questions below, students reflected on which values reflect themselves by thinking of these questions when they thought about each quality listed. Students had to shade which traits represent their values, then had to identify their top 3 values and explain the importance of those 3 values. Students then began to work on their values compass, which will be going into their scrapbook.
