@sjtylr Love the selection of tapes. Wish I still had mine!

Loved the experience of helping my G5 students navigate their learning journey through the PYP exhibition. #pypx #WAB #learningjourney https://t.co/W2uH2IQIHn

All educators should hear this again and again. The late @SirKenRobinson …

One of the most wholesome experiences was seeing the students share/ teach something about their culture. There were arts, crafts, language and dance lessons, storytelling, traditional games, history lessons, etc. #CAinspires #culturaldiversity #studentsteachingstudents #pyp

Growing plants in class from rotten fruits or spores over time has helped students learn more about what is required to take care of plants than most books or websites could teach. #CAinspires #experientiallearning #plants #greenthumb

Teaching students about topography maps via a more hands-on experience gave my more kinesthetic learners a chance to deepen their understanding. It's even better when students choose a country close to my heart! #experientiallearning #CAinspires #mappingskills #pyp

Enjoying our holiday break with family in the Cook Islands! Absolute paradise this time of year!

Students teaching students about being responsible consumers. Love watching my students choose the way they want to share their learning with others. #responsibleconsumers #CAinspires #studentsteachingstudents #pyp #tradeandeconomics

So proud of my 4th grade students challenging themselves, taking risks, and overcoming their fears! #CAinspires #CAgrade4 #experientiallearning #outdooreducation

Great view of the moon tonight! The blood moon has different meanings for different cultures, but the colours are amazing. #CAinspires #BloodMoon

A big thank you to our middle and high school science department for helping us learn more about changes in the state of matter and understand the importance of observations. #CAinspires #observingscience #CAgrade4

[Steve Rampling @steveramps]

Using visible thinking routines like "Chalk Talk" has helped the students generate a number of ideas/solutions to problems students witnessed in the playground. The next step is helping others learn about the multiple ways to solve problems. #CAinspires #makingthinkingvisible

[Steve Rampling @steveramps]

Solid + Liquid = Gas? But why? Learning about changes in states of matter has been a fun and messy experience. Documenting the process has helped students review the observations they made. #CAinspires #changesinstatesofmatter #science

[Steve Rampling @steveramps]

Does a substance change weight when a change in the state of matter takes place? We had the chance to explore this question, challenge our thinking, and test our hypotheses. #CAinspires #changesinstatesofmatter #grade4sciencelearning

[Steve Rampling @steveramps]

When math and science combine. The students had fun practicing their measuring, estimating, and recording skills in order to prepare for their science experiment where accurate measurements are important. #CAinspires #measuringskills #pypgrade4 #welovemath #welovescience

[Steve Rampling @steveramps]

Students teaching students! Each pair had a realistic fiction story arc expert who helped teach them about the details needed to complete their story arc well. Wonderful seeing some reluctant writers using the skills learnt from their peers. #CAinspires #studentsasteachers

[Steve Rampling @steveramps]

Students problem solving issues they notice around school and categorizing the issues to make it more manageable to address. The thoughts and ideas of our students are respected and shared. #CAinspires #CAgrade4 #makingthinkingvisible #problemsolvers
