Just two days left, and G4 @FIS_School absolutely smashing it with their Human Body Systems projects. Working models of the heart and lungs, a Podcast, magazines and video tour with greenscreen. Summer slide may not be a thing with these learners. #FISW

Using an algorithm is efficient, but how do you really show what you know conceptually when doing division? G4 @FIS_School breaking down just what decomposing # means. #FISW @IllustrateMath

[Chris Thompson @Mr_C4Elementary]

What a smash the end of the year is shaping up to be @FIS_School . Learners standing up and sharing their learning left, right and center - whether it be in front of their school, their class, or just with a friend on a beautiful day in the OLA. #FISW

[Chris Thompson @Mr_C4Elementary]

G4 @FIS_School with some incredible investigations into the complex, remarkable systems that make up the human body! Such a fun unit to end the year with our young scientists and doctors in training #fisw.

Just how far away is the forest? How much water washes out our dam on the erosion table? Does grass really prevent soil runoff? Precise measurement is the name of the game in G4 @FIS_School #FISW

G4 @FIS_School with a fantastic field trip to Grube Messel outside of Darmstadt today. Hiking into an extinct volcano, digging for fossils and taking a virtual trip to the center of the earth to investigate our ever changing earth! #FISW

[Chris Thompson @Mr_C4Elementary]

Incredible two days of learning and inspiration in G4 @FIS_School . Connecting poetry + photography through Wabi Sabi with @Ivy_TwoBirdsEdu , then learning how to create real change with the #SDGs in mind. Best of luck to the @FISChangemakers today thanks for the inspiration!

[Chris Thompson @Mr_C4Elementary]

Grade 4's up on stage left and right today for Day H assembly @FIS_School . Killer drum solos to get the party started and dance parties to get your body (and brain) ready to start the day! #FISW

[Chris Thompson @Mr_C4Elementary]

What better way to spend a rainy Friday afternoon than with our G1 reading buddies @FIS_School ? Cozy conversations in home languages and amazing non-fiction books. #FISW

[Chris Thompson @Mr_C4Elementary]

Feeding our OLA chickens, digging a frame for a pollinator plot, and training for a student let football tourney...must be Day H and clear blue skies @FIS_School #FISW

[Chris Thompson @Mr_C4Elementary]

Remarkable week at #FISW - learners were inspired to write by Marc Chagall stained glass, a foggy day in the Naurod forest, and the one-of-a-kind Naomi Shihab Nye. Needless to say, poetry @FIS_School is out of this world!

[Chris Thompson @Mr_C4Elementary]

What do you do when you dance too hard and bust your 30 Second Dance Party button? If you're Caspar in G4 @FIS_School, you go above and beyond to try and find replacements for your classmates!

Huge thanks to @30_sdp for such any amazing surprise of replacements buttons!

[Chris Thompson @Mr_C4Elementary]

A cold wind blowing across the Outdoor Learning Area? Sounds like the perfect time for a warm fire and some sensory poems in Writer's Workshop for G4 @FIS_School #FISW

[Chris Thompson @Mr_C4Elementary]

G4 @FIS_School mapping out the change they want to see with the #compass, analyzing what action can have the most impact, and making their pitch "shark tank" style--well on their way to becoming true #Changemakers #FISW. Big thanks to @ajjuliani, @Compass_Ed & @ICGlobalCitizen

[Chris Thompson @Mr_C4Elementary]

Could not have been a better snowy Forest Day today for G4 at #FISW. Building snow structures, following rabbit tracks, reading poetry and trying to figure just how much ice was on the pond. Let it ❄️ @FIS_School !

[Chris Thompson @Mr_C4Elementary]

It really is the most wonderful time of the year @FIS_School. Finishing up Stopmotion shorts, crafting your own display, replicating the World Cup trophy on Minecraft or having a @codeorg dance party. iTime in G4 is taking off on this snowy day!#FISW

[Chris Thompson @Mr_C4Elementary]

What a journey these G4's are on @FIS_School #FISW. Really diving in to all the tools at their disposal with the 3D printing introduction today being the cherry on top. Can't wait to see where their iTime questions take them next!

[Chris Thompson @Mr_C4Elementary]

"Open your eyes and look in the mirror" - using a Mirror Walk to have learners build connection with the natural world and change perspectives today in G4 @FIS_School #FISW . Big thanks to @inspirecitizen1 & @Ivy_TwoBirdsEdu for the continued inspiration.

[Chris Thompson @Mr_C4Elementary]

So grateful to be back in a class of thinkers and tinkerers, where building a custom light display and "paper cutter" over the weekend to inspire and awe your classmates is the norm @FIS_School #FISW

[Chris Thompson @Mr_C4Elementary]
