When offering materials to students, provide a buffet of resources instead of requiring everyone to use the same resources. Because of variability, they won’t all need the same support, they should be empowered to know themselves as learners and choose what they need.
Excited and ready for my little guys to showcase their work, knowledge, and growth at our upcoming SLCs! I can’t wait to see how impressed and proud their parents will be.
So excited!! Our first post Covid field trip!! Going to the Zoo to study animal features, behaviors, and habitats in connection to our UOI and nonfiction literacy units #SAISRocks#Grade1#fieldstudies
I had so much fun presenting at the #pyp connect event in Singapore this morning! We explored how we can use a problem string to help build conceptual understanding. We also zoomed into what it means to "construct" and "transfer" within the #pypmath cycle of inquiry. Great fun!
How long are Bigfoot’s feet? Which unit of measure can we use? Later…can we compare all of our feet to Bigfoot’s? I wonder who will have the third longest feet or the shortest? #grade1#measurement#SAISRocks#funwithmath
We care for our community and we take action! We got ourselves some new tools to help us in our endeavor to keep our grounds litter free! #wecare#grade1#TakeAction
We have to change the way we think about success and school. Our kids can’t see poor grades as a measurement of their worth. They can’t look at a hard math problem and think, “There’s nothing I can do here.” They must care about the process of overcoming obstacles,
@Seesaw “Break from school”. Winter packets and winter workshop do not sound like a break from school. Just like us, kids need to disconnect a bit and go enjoy themselves. #disappointing
My favorite part of maths is when we go “hands on” to explore, inquire, and share our ideas. In this case, investigating what equals means! @thurlowleanne#Grade1#tuningin#Math#Maths
