Opening #assembly at Mondrian, our yearlong theme of #belonging was introduced. As students talked in their home languages to unpack the concept, Sofia shared her definition translated from Russian: the place you're meant to be. I'm proud to belong at IPS Hilversum!❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

@MaxInfernoGames 🤩thank YOU! We adore this game so much, they shared how they felt more aware of patterns and the kids even BEGGED to go tidy their desks using systems and compartments. This game will always be a staple in my heart and my class. 💖

[Alyssa Keith @heymskeith]

May or may not of brought my switch to school to share my new favorite game with my class. A Little To The Left promotes mindfulness, patterns, spatial understanding and problem solving. What game should we try next?

Will the student driven open letter and petition reach 200 signatures overnight? We’ll see.

How are you acting on your LGBTQ+ allyship?

We explored #socialjustice through a simple game of basket toss. Asking students “what makes you feel like this is unfair?” And “what advantages/disadvantages are at play?” Thanks to @innovative_inq for the awesome tools that help us understand how we can take action#PYPx2023

[Nicola Millward @Nicola_EduCoach]

Grade 6 explored the 5 forms of #action in the #PYP. In a series of workshops, each group met me in the library to explore #advocacy through the stories of youth advocates from @unicef. Students looked for connections between the qualities and actions of each advocate.

@NadiaNazary @mjmichellekim These discussions and action plans always remind me of the song "from little things, big things grow." My class and I have been humming it all year whenever we need this reminder

[Alyssa Keith @heymskeith]

What a beautiful reminder of the importance of perspective in exploring things old and new. ✨🔭 https://t.co/Ditm34f7Hl

These kids are wise beyond their years, even in their struggles 🚌

[Paula Baxter @paulabaxter67]

This is priceless ⁦@heymskeith⁩ ❤️out of the mouths of babes (well 12 years olds)!

[Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost @RepMaxwellFrost]

GOP lawmakers in FL – & now in Congress – are pushing book bans & “Don’t Say Gay” bills rather than feeding kids, paying teachers, & ending mass shootings

This is politics, not policy. Bigotry, not freedom. Political stunts have deadly consequences for LGBTQ kids. I’m voting NO.

@wunderteach @ICS_School @ICGlobalCitizen @kpackteacher @sara_philippen what great exercise towards understanding action and justice!

Let’s get started!#pypx intro session. What do we know about the structure of the #ibpyp ? What are the essential parts of the #exhibition ? How can we support #eallearners ? Thanks to @chrisgadbury and @ibpyp for the starting points @STIPHilversum @heymskeith @sara_philippen

[Alyssa Keith @heymskeith]

@Nicola_EduCoach @Natasha_Shanaya @inquiryfive @IGBintschool @kpackteacher yes yes 10000x yes! We could use this for our current literacy inquiry and some math tasks to get them warmed up. Great inspiration 🤓

[Alyssa Keith @heymskeith]

Poems, puzzles, board games and acting out word problems! 8Keith celebrated #WorldMathsDay the only way we know, with lots of laughs and teamwork.

[Alyssa Keith @heymskeith]

Pie for pi? These students memorized up to 110 DIGITS of pi, just to pie me in the face?! They worked for weeks coming up with different strategies and songs to help them commit to memory. We’ll to anything to get them excited about numbers! #WorldMathsDay

[Nicola Millward @Nicola_EduCoach]

Sure, #WorldMathsDay is a heap of fun for the students, but it's just as fun for the organizers! Had a blast doing some ad lib with @heymskeith & @kpackteacher to get the school excited for our annual event. In the words of my 6 year old: you're ridiculous, Mum! #TeachingIsFun 🪄
