Happy Thursday!
We had another great day today! It was Abeer's birthday and we got to pick another name from our working hard box!

Unit of Inquiry
Students practiced presenting their arguments for their debates tomorrow. 

Inquiry into Language
Students picked a partner and presented their speeches to each other. They also provided each other with some peer feedback. We also visited the Grade 1s Farmer's Market!

Inquiry into Math
We started by taking up some of the conversion questions from our homework last night. We also used some measuring cups to demonstrate how 1000 mL make up 1L. 

Then we moved on to solving one of our mass and capacity problem solving questions. After reading the problem to students, I had them discuss with their peers how we could solve it. Then they shared their ideas and we solved the problem together. We did this for both parts of he questions.

Then, students were put into groups to complete a problem solving question, which was connected to mass but also related back to our equations unit. One of the groups was able to solve the problem on their own. As time passed, I began to give students more clues on how they could solve the problem. By the end of it, most students reached the correct answer.

Lastly, our math review was handed out. Students are to complete this by tomorrow so we can take it up to prepare for their test.
