"What do you want to be when you grow up?" sends the wrong message about work.

We should teach kids that who you are is more than what job you do. Work is an activity—it doesn't have to define your identity.

A healthy sense of self is rooted in character, not career choice.

[Amy Lenord @alenord]

Anyone else noticing students opting out of assignments because they don’t like them or are boring? I think one of the after effects of their time “learning at home” is that they have determined that if they don’t like doing it, it doesn’t have value. Or is it just me?

@BabuFiona @MonaSylvina Here's one idea for number talks.

Partnerships are great! #Grade2 students learn to be good listeners, and to give constructive feedback with their writing partners. They will grow these skills all year @AISCElementary!

#AISCGrade2 students celebrate their learning by creating and selling goods at the marketplace for their economics unit! #AISCDesign #AISCElementary

#AISCGrade2 students are learning about wind and water erosion! In #AISCDesign they built different landforms and modeled what type of erosion created it! #AISCElementary

#AISCGrade2 visits the kitchen while inquiring into the versatility of the banana plant. Using the leaves to steam with, the students cooked a traditional Kerala dish called 'Elai Appams' (steamed rice cakes made in a leaf), in this hands-on lesson. #AISCElementary

Why are educators never considered the "experts" in education??? It's always someone outside the classroom.

Student led conferences at #AISCgrade2 are in full swing. What a joy to see parents and kids celebrating learning together. @AISChennai

@tiffany_filter @responsiveclass @ula_kon @RayOfLit @MarcusGostelow @DJulia_Inquires @amysedestrom We did foot bumps for greetings. That was very popular. Also chants like "Hello neighbor" with modified actions. Sitting in a wide circle or in distanced clusters is important. I found kids were only listening to me and not to each other initially.

How many schools can boast of having a "rainforest" inside the campus? #AISCelementary #grade2 @lisakrebs123 @BabuFiona @learnerDJ @AISCEco

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

After nearly 600days, this classroom space holds kids once again. We symbolically erased the old date and wrote in today's date to symbolise the past is gone. This present day is ours to make! #happyheart #hybrid #backtoschool @AISChennai @Sweety14531470
