ISD Grade 5

We said goodbye to single-cell classrooms and hello to co-teaching. Year 4 of five teachers and 80+ Ss learning together in one flexible space @isdedu

[ISD Grade 5 @ISDFifthGrade]

We may not be together in one place...but we are still connected...and we still know how to have some fun!

Thanks for publishing the story of our wonderful parents giving their best during COVID-19 🙏

So proud of my team @ISDFifthGrade for #appsmashing our way to our first ever #DigitalExhibition! Day 1 is off to a smashing start! #ISDstrong @isdedu @ibpyp

Just walked ten 5th graders through setting up a blog using Google Meets and Blogger. I’m still reeling, but one student posted about the experience, “THAT WAS THE BEST”, so I guess it was ok. Part 2 on Thursday: personalizing your blog. Lord help me.

There aren’t enough thank yous in the world for ⁦⁦@hailmaryfdgrace⁩. Up at 6am to teach our students (in Germany via video chat) how to bake classic American Scones. Talk about an unforgettable experience! @ISDFifthGrade @isdedu #baking #futurechefs #grateful

We are using @flipgrid for daily check-ins with our students. Over a MONTH worth of engagement between Ts and Ss. We love that we still get to interact “face to face”, keeping our #connections strong. #SEL @ISDFifthGrade @isdedu #ISDstrong

[Adriane Garland @AdrianeGarland]

Using @Flipgrid to try out the toilet paper challenge. As humans we get so much #happiness from connecting with others, so we’re trying this out to connect as a class! #isdstrong @ISDFifthGrade @isdedu #becreative #elearning #SEL

I introduced my 5th graders to number talks yesterday with @WODBMath. The conversations and reasoning were so great! Ss were so engaged and sustained their conversations. I was really impressed considering they had never done one before. @ISDFifthGrade @isdedu

[Adriane Garland @AdrianeGarland]

Ss reflected on our community agreements and chose words that represented each statement. #reflecting on how we work together to build a healthy and happy community. #isd #G5

[Adriane Garland @AdrianeGarland]

Ss wanted help resolving conflicts. We agreed as a G5 community to follow these steps while we work on practicing conflict resolution in small groups. I love that they decided what actions and language to use, and that we can have consistency across the grade. #isd #agency

[Adriane Garland @AdrianeGarland]

Twitter help! My Ss are looking for primary sources: experts who can help them learn about #CO2, #overfishing, #fashion, #energy, #oceanplastics and #photosynthesis. Can you help? Or do you know someone who can? Thanks! @MartineBotany @Doctor_Harves @AnnHGarland @mrkempnz

The @isdedu 3rd graders put on an amazing Christmas market that focused on sustainability. They made responsible choices to limit their single use plastic waste throughout the process! #sustainable #christmas #WeAreISD #scrunchies

[ISD Grade 5 @ISDFifthGrade]

We especially loved the scrunchies and popcorn!!! ☃️🎄

So proud of my team and the amazing provocation the Ss just experienced!! All of our hard work really paid off! @ISDFifthGrade #teamwork @ibpyp #teacherhigh

[Caitlin Howald (she/her) @CHowald15]

Such a great provocation! Teams of Ss worked as families to make a number of choices while factoring in the needs of their family. Love the unexpected discussions! “People hate babies on planes and at the cinema...so can’t do that!” #IBPYP #WeAreISD #sharingtheplanet

[Caitlin Howald (she/her) @CHowald15]

Fun couple days in @ISDFifthGrade as students shared their arcade games and how they used ingenuity to solve problems with the @isdedu community! #howtheworldworks #IBPYP #WeAreISD

[International School of Düsseldorf @isdedu]

Grade 5 held a fun fair for younger ISD students & g5 parents. It was the culmination of a unit on simple machines. They used knowledge of levers, inclined planes, gears, pulleys & gears & axles to create their games. The games were innovative, colourful & fun! #WeAreISD @ibpyp

[Heather Collins @HCollins31]

That feeling of accomplishment when your work is enjoyed by others. 5th Grade Cardboard Arcade #WeAreISD
