Lunch/ Recess 1

Math: Today, students used 2D shapes to construct a picture of themselves. Students used circles, squares, rectangles and triangles to make their picture.

Unit of Inquiry: Today students finished viewing the movie “Inside Out.” Students discussed the feeling of “Fear.” Students talked about some of the things that cause them to feel scared or afraid. We realized that many of us share some of the same fears. However, we also discovered that some of the things we are afraid of, such as snakes or spiders, may be exciting or interesting to others. Our class also talked about how sometimes we are afraid when something is unknown or unfamiliar.

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.
