1st Art Attack Research Retreat for 5th graders in the books! 8 targeted skills chunked out into 15 minute sections over two days. So grateful for the co-EVERYTHING with our literacy coach and PYP coordinator. Stretched myself and grew my learning—just like the kids. 💕
@IntSchPrague Gr 4 kicked off their HWEO Unit with a jam session between our fabulous music teacher @SuzHig76, EAL teacher, and Art teacher. We have such talented staff! What inspires you to create?
We made it to Oct break @IntSchPrague ! As we prepare for PYP authorization we have gotten up super early every Wed to inquire into the LPAs, Key Concepts, TD Themes, the ATLs and build a POI. I am SO lucky to be part of this stellar team!
What a fantastic way to wrap the Gr 3 WWA Unit: Identity. The Ss became the Ts! Ss shared their talents while deepening their own understanding. The experience also contributed to a sense of community that is necessary for risk-taking. #IntSchPrague
What a great week @ISHRLearns having @danfeigelson here to teach the Ts! He has made us reflect on how to find authentic teaching moments while conferencing and as a bonus made us think differently about punctuation. I, now, love, commas!
The chicken eggs incubating in @ISHRLearns 1st Gr classroom are inspiring the Ss in so many ways. Ss are writing about them and designing chicken Pokémon. Thanks to @MarianneKasch for making this happen and the great connection to @ibpyp Where Food Comes From Unit.
@ISHRLearns is lucky to have @AriaTonini as a music T! To integrate with the 2nd Gr #pypHWEO Unit: Power of Words, her classes wrote Valentine singing grams which could be ordered and sent to loved ones with the proceeds going to a charity the Ss chose!
Going into the 3rd and final day of the CIS Child Protection Workshop. Thanks to all the knowledgeable workshop leaders @rhovington @SusieMarchPSHE DrJoeSullivan DrJordanGreenbaum and many more. Biggest take away so far, Ss need the language/vocabulary to report abuse.
@ISHRLearns 4th Gr just wrapped up their Who We Are-Making a Difference Unit. Ss had agency in who they researched. Then they wrote biographies, drew portraits, presented what they learned and used the ATLs to self-assess! @MarianneKasch @RoweKiethe
Got to take a wondering walk with @ISHRLearns 1st Graders this morning looking for simple machines. We found incline planes, pulleys, wheel and axles all at our local tram stop. So great to see the world through the eyes of a 1st Grader. @DociFrida
SeniorK Ss @ISHRLearns are innately drawn to maker-centered learning opportunities and observing them in action you can see how these opportunities initiate creative problem solving, innovation, and perseverance!
@ISHRLearns Grd3 Ss put on a planterium for their @ibpyp WWAITAS Unit. MakerSpace, Writer's Workshop, Art (glow in the dark paint!), Music, PE, and ATL development were all rolled into this Unit.I could not be more impressed by these Ss and Ts. @jennylee_teach@JamesBr97615113
