Math
here is our step by step guide for showing double digit addition on a place value mat

Students moved on to showing double digit subtraction on a place value mat, step by step guide will come tomorrow. We did the question together as a class.



Inquiry into Language
Novel Study

Chapter 16 The Oompa-Loompas

• ·      After a small scuffle with Mrs. Salt over the existence of Loompaland (the Oompa-Loompas' home country), Willy Wonka begins to tell the story of how he found them.
• ·      Loompaland is a terrible place because of the snozzwangers and whangdoodles (stick with us for a second, you'll get used to it). In any case, they were terrorized by terrible beasts and they had nothing to eat.
• ·      All the Oompa-Loompas wanted to eat was the cacao bean, which, Wonka explains, is what chocolate is made of (this part is true in non-Dahl world, too).
• ·      So Wonka brokered a deal with them: if they would come back and work for him, they could have all the chocolate they wanted.
• ·      And voila! Here they are, he says. They love to dance and sing and are a little mischievous and...
• ·      Veruca wants one. Surprise, surprise. Her dad says he'll get her one, but before they can finish the discussion, Mrs. Gloop starts shouting to her son, who has sneaked off to the river and is gulping down chocolate like nobody's business.

Chapter 17 - Augustus Gloop Goes up the Pipe

• Willy Wonka sees what Augustus is up to and begs him to stop: it's not good for the chocolate to be dirtied by human hands.
  But Augustus has bigger problems. Before he knows it, he falls right into the chocolate river.
  Oops.
  Mr. and Mrs. Gloop are not too happy, but in all the confusion, Augustus is sucked right into one of the glass pipes. More not-being-happy and more confusion ensue. And after briefly getting stuck (he's a bit chunky, remember) he disappears up the pipe.
  This is when we start to realize that Willy Wonka is in his own little world. While Mr. and Mrs. Gloop panic about their son, all Mr. Wonka can do is talk about how his factory and sweets will (or hopefully will not) be affected by the whole ordeal. It's a pretty hilarious interaction and we'd suggest you go ahead and take a look.
  Finally, Mr. Wonka calls over an Oompa-Loompa and asks him to bring Mrs. Gloop to the fudge room, where she should find her son. The Oompa-Loompa thinks this is pretty comical.
  As they walk off, the rest of the Oompa-Loompas start to sing. They are creative little buggers and once again, we think you should check out their song. Well worth it – and it rhymes!
  
  
  
  Inquiry into Inventions 
  We wrapped up our unit by students looking through their work from the unit and picking out three pieces. 
  1. Their best work
  2. Something they worked their hardest on 
  3. Something they need to improve on
  
  
  We then put this work into their IB binders. 
  
  
  We ended our day by having gym class with Ms. Yustin, you can check out her blog at https://sjaayustin.blogspot.ca/
