After working with rhyming texts and theme, students made their own rhyming story about some magic lights wanting to brighten up the night with the theme of working together! So many amazing stories to read through!

Check out a few of the Y5 students’ upgraded book cover designs for Michael Morpurgo’s book, Cool! based on their interpretation of the story. Can you predict what this story is about from their designs? #IES

On Monday, April 19, the U19 Football teams took on the CISB Staff in two amazing games.

Collaborating with feedback using Keynote tools to format our class break data into visually appealing graphs! #myCISB #numeracy

Teaming up for some chemical reactions between vinegar and baking powder and soda to find out how they compare. Already seeing growth in our students thinking skills as they work through the scientific method in their experiments everyday. #myCISB #thinkers #pyp #science #HTWW

Experiment 2: Identifying an unknown liquid based on their characteristic properties when mixed with water. Great opportunity to practice recording our observations visually and with words! #science #pyp #myCISB #thinkers

[Katrina Schmudlach @schmudkr]

We were #inquirers today by investigating the properties of liquids using different tests to identify the unknown one! Making molecular functions more visible through the scientific process! #science #pyp #myCISB #HTWW

Thank you to @TomHowardEdu for organizing a G9/G5 science learning connection as we tune in & get excited for our How the World Works unit. The students enjoyed the sneak peak into MSHS life! #myCISB #scientificmethod

Had a blast today with our cookie science lab! All cookies were delicious despite a slight change in each recipe! Great way to end the week before the holidays! 😁 #myCISB #scientificmethod #pypchat

Such beautiful cards! 😁

[Katrina Schmudlach @schmudkr]

One of my favorite card making crafts - marble patterns! We had a lot of fun following the procedures to make these which were then used to make cards for other students. #balanced #myCISB

Our P.E. teacher did an amazing job at allowing G5 students to be leaders to the G3 students! They led fitness tests & recommended workouts to improve cardiovascular and muscular endurance and flexibility! #transdisplinary #myCISB #pyp

[William Applebaum @billybillyedu]

We unpacked the important #ATLSkill of #SocialSkills with lessons on #RespectingOthers, #SelfControl, #AcceptingResponsibility, #ResolvingConflict, & #MakingGroupDecisions. We also jointly created "I can" statements for what independent looks like for our rubric. @FISSharks

G5 presents their knowledge of the #humanbody systems to lower primary grades with their interactive models in our self made children’s museum! So much growth and fun! #socialskills #myCISB #pyp

[Katrina Schmudlach @schmudkr]

Using Kahoot as a formative assessment tool and mini review while working on inequalities. Great chance to get live data and partner talk about our errors. #myCISB

[Katrina Schmudlach @schmudkr]

Friday afternoons are set aside for genius hour! I love seeing the creative projects my students want to explore and working with them on project planning strategies. #myCISB
