Good evening,

Calendar: Today’s calendar was led by Jack. Great job Jack!

Phonics: Today, the students reviewed the “H/h” and “R/r” sounds, actions and songs. Then Eric, Ahaan, Sianna, and Mateo presented their Show and Share to the class. Thank you for bringing in an item with your assigned sound!

Lunch/ Recess 1

Math: Today students had the opportunity to create sound and action patterns. Students took turns being the leader who created the pattern core. Then each student in the circle repeated the pattern core. We had some very creative pattern-makers! Next week we will begin to explore patterns with more than one attribute.

Unit of Inquiry: Knowledgeable Learner Profiles: Today we read a story about Officer Buckle and his police dog Gloria. Students brainstormed what it means to be knowledgeable, and discussed how Officer Buckle was knowledgeable in the story. Then students completed an activity to add to their IB Learner Profiles.

Taking Action

Action is a very significant aspect of the IB learning process. In the PYP Program, students will engage in 6 Unit of Inquiries (UOI) throughout the school year, with each unit being approximately 6 weeks long. During each UOI, 3 students from the class will be assigned as the “Action Stars”, which means that they are encouraged to use what has been learned and apply it to the “real world.” The purpose of this initiative is to help further knowledge about what has been learned within the classroom. Example: If we are learning about recycling, students might go home and tell you that they want to implement a recycling program with you at home, or they may do something simple like telling you that something you were throwing in the garbage may be recycled. Students who are not assigned this role for the current UOI being taught are still encouraged to show ACTION! Action comes in many forms; it might be something small to something very large, but as long as the children understand the concepts, action is important no matter the size! Please check out our Action board in our classroom to see all our fabulous learners.
