3-2 designed, planned, measured and cut materials with laser cutters and constructed their dream homes after reading “If I Built A House” during our Materials and Structures Unit. They even wrote their own versions of the book! This is what #STEAM learning is all about! #TISMacao

Using @nearpod with @educ8torsarah to help us start learning all about animal habitats! Such a great tool to quickly assess understanding as students learn through conversations, videos and open ended questions. #edtech #TISMacao

Feeling proud of simple actions! One student noticed a problem and 3-2 jumped to action cleaning up spilled popcorn in our hallway to help our cleaners. “This hallway is our responsibility!” #TISmacao #responsibility #tigertraits

A huge thank you to the grade 3 students, teachers and Future Bright for all the compostable food scraps! We've added over 100 kgs of food waste to the TIS composters in the last 3 weeks. #TISMacao

These Grade 4 students spent their lunch recess educating people and promoting #TeamSeas. So great to see students @TISMacao taking action in their own way! #SDGs #globalcitizens #studentagency

Celebrating our nonfiction reading unit by dressing up as the topics of our favourite books and teaching others about what we learned! #tismacao #reading #LoveAtFirstBook #education @LucyCalkins

Grade 3-2 learned that you can read everywhere! Even in the dark! We found exciting new reading spots to help increase our reading stamina! #TISMacao #literacy #Reading #grade3 #education

Starting the school year off by finding ways to incorporate positive messages around the classroom and getting students involved in creating positive affirmations each morning! #movingforwardtogether #TISmacao #GrowthMindset #BackToSchool2020

Ss further developed pre-coding skills at home by creating their own DIY coding mazes! They practiced using directional language and created games with obstacles and goals. Up next: practicing online with LEGO’s coding game, Bits & Bricks! #TISMacao #100DaysOfCode #Kinderchat

[Sara Kakoske @MsKakoske]

Students have been working hard all week to learn about the Earth! Ss came up with questions, participated in Earth Day themed BINGO, made ‘no waste art’ by using their clothes to create pictures and found creative ways to remind others of #EarthDay2020! #TISMacao #kindergarten

[Sara Kakoske @MsKakoske]

During these hard times it’s important to remember to be grateful for the small things. SK’s created gratitude jars, participated in a scavenger hunt, drew pictures and wrote sentences about little things that bring them joy each day. #TISMacao #ECE #onlinelearning #Kindergarten

[Sara Kakoske @MsKakoske]

Developing our early reading skills and confidence by sharing our favourite book with the class. Great job Sienna! Feeling proud when students share their love for literacy! #TISmacao #kindergarten #earlyliteracy #ECE

[Sara Kakoske @MsKakoske]

Hands on learning while celebrating Halloween! Students designed, planned, and voted for the face of our jack-o-lantern and finally got to cut it open today! Love when students aren't afraid to get messy and try new things!

So incredibly proud of the books these young SK authors have written and illustrated! They selected their topics, planned their stories, and wrote the words to make books that teach others about recycling and what happens to our garbage! #TisMacao #ECE #Kindergarten #literacy

[Sarah Fenwick-Ross @educ8torsarah]

Our little SK buddies are helping us turn our Fairy Tale stories into #toontastic cartoons! #buddies #TISMacao @MsKakoske

[Sara Kakoske @MsKakoske]

What better way to upcycle than to create your own princess ballet dress! Taking action to remove plastic bags from our garbage while learning about the dangers of plastic in our landfills. #tismacao #kindergarten #ECE #TeachSDGs #upcycle

[Sara Kakoske @MsKakoske]

So incredibly proud to be involved and participate in this years Laos Outreach Program in Luang Prabang! #TISMacao #teachersteachingteachers #InquiryMindset

[Sara Kakoske @MsKakoske]

Our upcycled pallet garden is up and ready after many weeks of researching, designing, planning, and building! So proud to see what these kids can make using all recycled materials! #TISMacao #kindergarten #upcycled #TeachSDGs

[Sara Kakoske @MsKakoske]

Our classroom has become a full on construction site! Stay tuned to see what these little workers create! #tismacao #ECE #kindergarten
