Gotta love watching varsity basketball with my G1s - so much learning happening - “Ms Claire, the coach is giving feedback!”

Actual central idea - Historical evidence provides insight into personal history and identity.

Super proud of my G1’s predictions for our new central idea after some provocations #ibpyp #wwapt

A group of US elementary school kids set up a hotline to spread some joy. Simple magic idea. Powerful results. I love the 4 options that a caller is offered. https://t.co/MmHY3nqnT0 #edchat

G2 students transform their island in response to what they think people need to adapt to living. Some felt sad as nature was removed to make way for other things. Used birds eye view photo for mapping skills.
