October break reading 📖 Great characters, great stories, I love them all but if I had to pick my favorite, it’s A man of understanding. A beautiful book that leaves you with tears in your eyes 😍

@ISHRLearns @IshrLiteracy Language is like a candy shop - you never know what you get. My Grade 2 mini professors got a German lesson with a „real“ professor from university today and did an amazing job inquiring into the question: What is language? 🤩😍

⁦@ISHRLearns⁩ Literature project- G4 German students preparing their final presentations. Students had free choice and some wrote long and creative stories, some worked on graphic novels, others prepared costumes and sceneries for a theatre play. Great ideas 🤩😍

@ISHRLearns Grade 5 German- when the lesson turns out differently than planned. An inquiry into report writing resulted in a very basic question: What is a newspaper and what are the components? Photos, jokes, quizzes, advertisements… No reports??? 😂😂😂

[Manuela Pinsky @manuela_pinsky]

@ISHRLearns @IshrLiteracy Grade 4 German - We had a great and enthusiastic discussions about the importance of words. Are there words that are more important than others???? Great question-interesting ideas 🤩😍
