FRIENDS Day at DAA! Celebrating our Grade 5 learners as they graduate to Middle School. It’s hard to believe this school year is coming to a close. I am beyond grateful to work with such fun and passionate educators and leaders. @gems_daa #friends #educator #edchat

Gr.3 MH Ss persisted on finding the splash zone as they tried to save the life of their imaginary fish by filling up its fish bowl! They discussed litres and millilitres, the quickest way to fill it & had a whole lot of fun in between♥️#Numeracy #Inquiry #Measurement #FluencyEd

Having a diverse, culturally relevant classroom library will lead students to self-select books to read at school and home!

@MrsASAPsclass Great news!

3MH Ss loved exploring magnetic force during our SAMs Lab with our fantastic Innovation Activator @mmckellar1! The conversations and thick questions that arose from this hands-on experiment blew me away. @DAAElementary #innovation #SAMsLab #edtech #futurefluent

@LaineLibrarian @DAAElementary Yes, me too! They are definitely a creative bunch. Thank you for coming in.

[Mike Hansen @MoMichaelHansen]

Kicked off our first week of March Into Reading by revamping our classroom library with the fantastic @LaineLibrarian. 3MH Ss demonstrated agency as they redesigned and organized our library in a way that works best for them as learners. @DAAElementary #selfmanagers #Readingmonth

@JoMartin1234 @DAAElementary Made my day!

Publishing Parties bring so much joy to my learners! It was exciting to see agency in action this morning. Glad you could join us @nohabish! #FutureFluent #WritingWorkshop

[Noha Bishara @nohabish]

Gr.3MH Ss putting their final touches before their #PublishingParty! Such diverse and exciting non-fiction books! Some Ss chose traditional publishing methods while others opted for e-books to enhance share-ability! #FluencyEd #StudentAgency #Literacy #ReadersWritersWorkShop

Shoutout to our phenomenal 3rd Grade learning team for creating such fun learning activities to bring learning to life.

[Mike Hansen @MoMichaelHansen]

3MH Ss used all they have learned about perimeter and area to create a safe perimeter around our provocation. DAA’s aviary was a buzz with excitement and collaboration as Ss tackled this real life challenge! @DAAElementary #FutureFluent #collaboration #mathminded

[Mike Hansen @MoMichaelHansen]

It’s an excellent day for teaching and learning @DAAElementary! Absolutely fantastic weather in Dubai right now. @gems_daa

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

Teaching the richness of Black history not only means a more accurate and thorough understanding of slavery and the civil rights movement, but also uplifting stories of liberation, civic engagement, cultural contributions and intersectional identities.

3MH is full of Collaborators! Today Ss worked with their writing partner to give TAG feedback on their nonfiction writing pieces. Listening to these young learners share positive and meaningful feedback was a joy. @DAAElementary #collaboration #FutureFluent #LearnerAssests
