Guess & Check


Our day started with math. We used class time before recess to take up Friday’s homework on integers. After recess we completed a lesson on strategies. We focussed on using Guess and Check to solve problems involving equations. Students shared the strategies that help them successfully solve problems. We all completed practice problems in class. Students are writing a unit test on Number Patterns this Friday. We will begin review work tomorrow.

In our language time, students completed the good copy of their narrative paragraph. We then began reading about action poems. Students wrote an action poem on a topic of their choice. Students may consider this poem as an entry for the Polar Expressions poetry competition coming up soon.

Some students were so excited to begin building their electric cars that they stayed in during second recess and lunch. It was a messy time, but a fantastic and productive buzz dominated our classroom. I am enjoying seeing the different ideas students have for their cars. Students will be building, testing, and improving their electric cars all this week during UOI time.
