Today students worked on our Learner Profile, Thinker. We read the definition of a thinker that we have in the classroom, " I am thoughtful, I think before I speak and act. I can solve problems creatively and make good decisions." We than brainstormed ideas about what being a thinker means to the students.

Students then filled out their own thinker profile for their IB binders.

Today students reviewed the count up strategy for subtraction. As a class we worked on a few questions from pg.32-33 in their workbooks. Then students had sometime to work on developing this strategy on their own.

We took this time today for students to pick three pieces of their work to put into their IB binders. Students were to pick something they did great on, something they worked their hardest on, and something they think they could improve on.
