Art-Literacy-Sci connection. Investigating the structures and functions of birds, focusing on feathers. “How do birds fly?” Asked this first grade class, as they created their giant bird feathers in art class with @DPerach while looking at books by @SneedCollard. Unit launched!
Incredible workshop this week at #NESASEC19 with Carey Johnson and Chris Charnitski unpacking #NGSS. It’s all about 3Dlearning! @swtrifman@charnobyl1 @Careyinoman
ES: More Play please. Inspired by @BenMardell and Ruth Baxter Hesseldal at #NESASEC19 to have more moments where we stand back, be patient and let the students make choices, wonder aloud and be delighted. Simple & perfect & so powerful.
How is Taipei, Taiwan, a bustling city of nearly 2.7 million people, shops, cafes, food stands, etc. so free of litter? I didn't see one item on an over 1000m walk. Gutters free of human debris. I have a hypothesis... #PlanetorPlastic#PlasticPollution@DebrisTracker
Gr3 Ss begin engineering! Looking for problems around the classroom and thinking of simple design solutions using magnets. Can’t wait to see the collaborative efforts, as well as how much grit they’ve got. #engineeringishardwork#ngss#wbaiseslearns@LifeInThePYP
Invented spelling matters. Invented spelling is your insight into a student’s letter and word knowledge, what do they know and where do I go from here?
Grade4 Ss study processes that change the earths surface. Ss made two dioramas in pairs to show the before and after of a natural process effect. Creativity is encouraged! #NGSS#wbaiseslearnes
At the end of our Pushes and Pulls Unit, Kinder Ss visit HS Physics teacher @nisadovnik and see how the same concepts are deepened. Powerful across grade level learning happening right here!
