Language:
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.
Math:
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.
Reflection:
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.

UOI into Cultures:
Today we started a new unit, Christmas Celebrations around the World. Students were split into groups of three and given some information on either Kwanza, Hunkkah, or Christmas. One represented from each group read the information out to the group and then together students started to fill out the K (what I know) parts of their charts based on the information that they heard. Students will continue this tomorrow.
