Amazing the difference a simple rule can make in our #thinkingtasks to encourage sharing - 1 s shares their idea, and their partner writes it down #communicationskills #thinkingclassroom

[Emily Lobsenz @ELobsenz]

Love hearing ss end of year #reflections. Ss suggested units on machines, technology, and science. They liked making friends, learning to read and write, math challenges, building challenges and helping others. Ideas - longer specialist classes, wheelchairs/inclusive materials

When ss don’t want to go to lunch because they have more ideas to share = happy kids and a happy teacher! ❤️#thinkingclassroom

#thinkingclassrooms community - looking for help! I saw a great visual posted for ss to use to reflect on how they collaborated with their partner on a thinking task but can’t find it now. Any recommendations?

[Emily Lobsenz @ELobsenz]

Amazing to see the progress form the first #thinkingtask to the second! Ss shared: last time it was really challenging but I learned from my mistakes. Ss happily shared the problem they noticed with their solution and their ideas for next steps thanks @pgliljedahl #growthmindset

So proud of ss for taking #action. while inquiring into homes ss noticed many people on the streets with no homes and decided to bring food and drink donations, decorated the bags, and even made notes and drawings to put inside #buildingempathy #makingconnections

Amazing to see student-initiated #action come to fruition! After planning and fundraising, ss were able to plant 30 trees! #studentvoice

“She must be so tired,” “does she have to do this every day?”, and “how does she have time for other activities?” were some of the student #reflections after a water walk and video of the reality for those without easy access to clean water #buildingempathy #experientiallearning

Grateful for coteachers who take time out of their teaching periods to talk about #sportsmanship and #resilience after a soccer loss, and modeling how to be gracious and congratulate our competitors!

No better way to learn about living things and their life cycles then to experience it! What excitement today seeing the butterfly out of its chrysalis all thanks to students taking action! #studentagency #experientiallearning

[Emily Lobsenz @ELobsenz]

Love witnessing students taking charge of their learning! One day after a provocation on life cycles, students are bringing in resources, and caterpillars they found in their yard at home! #inquiry #studentledlearning #takingaction

Feeling refreshed and excited after a session with @Mattglover123 Ss tried out zooming in or out illustrating their writing today and shared how it will help their readers #cdnisls

[Emily Lobsenz @ELobsenz]

G1s sharing book recommendations and getting excited for our next visit to the library #cdnis

[Emily Lobsenz @ELobsenz]

Sharing our math evidence and reasoning. Thanks @natrosshk for introducing 1A to the CER model! #cdnisls

[Emily Lobsenz @ELobsenz]

Looking for ideas on how to conduct baseline assessments with g1 students remotely. Any tips or suggestions? #assessment #onlinelearning

Why don’t we have $3 and $4 coins in Hong Kong? Ss explored making $22, $23, and $24 with these coin amounts and realized: it’s hard to count by 3s and 4s, and we don’t need them, we can make 3 and 4 using the $1 and $2 coins. #cdnisls #mathinquiry

Building #empathy as we read about James. If you could meet him, what would you say? #cdnisls #socialskills #characterdevelopment

[Emily Lobsenz @ELobsenz]

Ss identified the big ideas in our unit: design, products, use, improve, and change. They then wrote their own central ideas for the unit based on these words! #inquiry #conceptbasedlearning #cdnisls #studentvoice

[Emily Lobsenz @ELobsenz]

Love hearing ss teaching each other how to make hoop gliders and authentically using #math vocabulary “make one piece longer and one shorter,” “you can measure it with a ruler,” “you can trace it so the size is exactly the same” #cdnisls #realworldmath

[Emily Lobsenz @ELobsenz]

So much excitement for #tinkering today! Ss were excited to discover how many #parts were inside the pen and to figure out how it works as we begin to explore the concept of #design #thinkers #inquirers #communicators #cdnisls
