In February we focused on being truthful.
This month, we are celebrating IB Learner Profile trait :Knowledgable.
Expressing ideas as knowledgeable learners.
In Reading Unit 4, students explored poems and focused on figurative language, including similes, as well as identifying themes. They practiced thinking critically about texts and sharing their ideas, developing as thoughtful and knowledgeable communicators.
As knowledgeable learners, students use the R.A.C.E. strategy to organize their ideas, cite evidence, and express their thinking clearly in response to reading.
In Math, students are beginning Module 6: Foundations of Multiplication and Division. They are creating equal groups, building arrays, and writing repeated addition equations to understand how numbers can represent groups, not just single objects. Through our IB theme How We Organize Ourselves, students explore the form of equal groups, the function of repeated addition, and the perspective that the same total can be represented in different ways. As Knowledgeable learners, they are building a strong foundation for future multiplication and division concepts.
