Unit of Inquiry

We began our Who We Are Unit today, which focuses on one's well-being and self-worth. Today we got to learn about what Mindfulness is, it's effects and why being mindful is important. We had some great discussions and reflections on how we can control how we feel, think and act. Once we finished our class reading and discussion, students worked on some reflection sheets that focused on their self-awareness; seeing how well they know themselves. Students shared what they would like to dig deeper in to help them better understand themselves.

At recess, some of the students even took it upon themselves to try meditation.

Inquiry into Math

To begin, I wrote some questions on the board and the students had to use their white boards to write down the missing term, along with tell me the term that was missing (dividend, divisor and quotient). They did so well with this. After we did this, I divided the students into groups and they played a matching division fact game, similar to the cards matching game that I'm sure most of us had played. They absolutely LOVED this game. While playing the game I got to see a variety of different strategies that the students were using to help them identify the missing term in the equation.
