Camp with gr 5-6 for 2 days! Love that there’s a bucket full of knives available for carving. #swedisheducation

Me: So if I have 1 and 1/4 of a pizza and Elsa comes over with a 1 pizza, what do we have?

Elsa: a really great friendship

[Majken Johansson @PYPMajken]

@lindajonsson74 I think next year I will have our gr 6 Ss be the mentors! It would be a great way to practice responsibility & follow up. I have always wanted it entirely Ss owned. We’ll see how it goes!

First ever #pypexhibition2021 complete for our candidate school! F2F, no masks, hands-on & not a single piece of trash created in the process as we focused on ensuring we walk the talk. Beaming with pride. My Ss are amazing!

Spent the day on the ocean with a marine biologist learning about dependency & systems by doing a sampling of the ocean floor. I have the BEST job.

Ss are so creative with #arteducation when there’s free #inquiry.
Focus is social skills from #ibpyp ATL

[Majken Johansson @PYPMajken]

@trev_mackenzie Congratulations! What an achievement!!

[Majken Johansson @PYPMajken]

Help you partner succeed & group decision making: focus on social skills as Ss in gr 4-5 create 3D flowers in art

@EmmaInMaputo @loonyleabra @Mrs_Gilchrist On it! Give me a couple days and I’ll be back!

[Majken Johansson @PYPMajken]

@Mrs_Gilchrist @SeanPYPParis @EmmaInMaputo It would be great to make a joint ATL packet or google folder where we can all share our resources

[Majken Johansson @PYPMajken]

@Mrs_Gilchrist A6 I’ve realized that it’s better to start off the unit & then see what we need to explicitly work on - split screen, writing them down, defining examples as a class, decide what does it look like, sound like.. all helps make it more concrete... and give time for Ss to reflect

[Majken Johansson @PYPMajken]

@SeanPYPParis @Mrs_Gilchrist @EmmaInMaputo I’ve seen some teachers use “I can” statements and students color in but now that I think about it, the progression should possibly be blank and the students add samples throughout the years

[Majken Johansson @PYPMajken]

@Mrs_Gilchrist A3: we used the same two social skills for Art, PE and unit work in one week: making decisions together and helping your partner succeed. I can definitely improve in scaffolding but giving multiple opportunities in different context definitely gave positive outcomes

[Majken Johansson @PYPMajken]

@loonyleabra @Mrs_Gilchrist @kjinquiry Split screen is a great way to make it visible for learners!

[Majken Johansson @PYPMajken]

@Mrs_Gilchrist A2 I think could be done better. I think it’s easy to get stuck on “fun activities” versus really analyzing ATT and seeing ways to improve.
