MENTORING CAN BE BOOTIFUL: The Grade 5 Leadership Council’s Halloween event with younger students was so successful it was a little scary. The real treat was mentoring younger students while learning to execute large-scale group events. #TaipeiAmericanSchool

Go team! Exhibition has begun! #teamwork #G5 #pypx2023 @SCISChina

[Taryn BondClegg @makingoodhumans]

Our #pypx team did a great job supporting G5 parents as learners! Tuning in to what they think they know about Exhibition, finding out what the IB docs say, discussing what’s important, understanding their role to support their child - a great morning of learning! #aismlearns

The way you answer questions can force students to think rather than look to you to do the thinking for them. 🤔

This week's sketch: the Inquiry Student.

How do you engage your learners in routines of reflection?

How do you take this reflection beyond the content of your curriculum and into the realm of understanding themselves better as learners?

Grade 5s traveled to each class in what our team calls “carousels,” to explore the function of each body system. Now we are onto making connections as the research continues! #whoweare #bodysystems #pyp #inquiry #Grade5 @SCISChina #WeAreSCIS

I am currently writing report cards with my students. I do this every term, with every student. When it comes to assessment and the many student-centred assessment practices I engage in, the time I spend engaging in practice this yields the greatest return on investment.

Our daughter asked Mama and Daddy to vote for the people who will “make the world a better place.” We did. And shout out to the last minute voters, in line, getting that vote in.

How We Organize Ourselves- these organizations were thoughtful, innovative, and demonstrated decision making, collaboration, translanguaging, and even some personal action to save a pregnant cat! @SCISChina #pyp #hwoo #pypaction #ATLS #translanguaging #gr5pyp

Students are preparing for their first big presentation for How We Organize Ourselves. Creating their own organizations was a creative and fun way to demonstrate their knowledge. #pyp #socialskills #atls #Collaboration @SCISChina
