We are a fourth grade class at The American School in Japan.

How do mathematicians work together? How do mathematicians generate questions? How do mathematicians solve real world problems? The Japanese gift fruit challenge.

Today’s course

We explored the classroom, the school, the sports field, and the park to find benchmarks for powers of 10 in metric length conversions.

Resilient learners reflect on what they don’t know, make a plan to learn it next time, and then try out their plan. #saltyseadogshoutout #resilience

[4 Bernhardt @G4asij]

When we see the value in others and recognize them for something they said that makes us think, we make this a learning community. #saltyseadogshoutout #empathy #compassion

[4 Bernhardt @G4asij]

We always want to listen in order to make connections with what we already know. That is how we make our own meaning and share it with others. #saltyseadogshoutout #independence

[4 Bernhardt @G4asij]

Mathematicians are always working to use even more precise language. That means they listen to how others use it and then they take risks to try it on their own. #saltyseadogshoutout #risktaking #optimism

We said that when we value each other, we do our jobs. Getting ready for lessons with all of our materials allow us to star learning right away. #saltyseadogshoutout #independence

When we act with character, we can be trusted to be where we are supposed to be even when the adults are not looking. #saltyseadogshoutout #independence

[4 Bernhardt @G4asij]

When we value each other, we find a way to highlight the great things they are already doing. #saltyseadogshoutout #empathy

[4 Bernhardt @G4asij]

We are all a part of a learning community and it’s great when we have kids who will help keep us focused on our learning. #saltyseadogshoutout #Independence

A #resilient student figures out what they need to improve on after making a mistake, then works really hard to change what they do the next time. #saltyseadogshoutout

Biologists ask questions and make connections when looking at models. #saltyseadogshoutout #curiosity

[4 Bernhardt @G4asij]

We were discovering how animals can move their bodies today.

These are the rules of commas we found so far.

What we have been working on in writing: editing with commas

When we are #independent, we make a plan for what we will do, and when we get called to work with the teacher, we put that plan aside and return to it when our meeting is finished. #saltyseadogshoutout

Our guiding reading questions.

When we work with each other, we put our work together in the middle so we can discuss our thinking while pointing to it. #saltyseadogshoutout #collaboration
