After reading a @peterhreynolds book that focused on using the 5 senses to describe a setting, we looked at what we want our classroom to look and sound like. Loved using this as a basis for our essential agreements this year. #ibpyp @ibpyp @GEMS_ME

We read The Word Collector and asked our Grade 4 students what word they’d like people to use to describe them this year. Kind, athletic, creative, thinker and sophisticated were a few. We look forward to seeing our students model these words this year. #ibpyp @GEMS_ME

Is there a @21cli or #Pubpd in Dubai? Recently moved here and would love to attend. Loved the ones in Singapore. Thanks!

I am looking for a bank of guest speakers who I could contact. We can't use Skype unfortunately so I can't see their list. Even better, does anyone have a contact for someone in exploration? #pyp #edtechchat

Students looked at how we use multiple learning styles to learn a new skill (playing an instrument) & explored the growth mindset statements they used to overcome obstacles #pyp #GrowthMindset @ibpyp @XCLWA

Grade 3 students are exploring how they learn and how their brain works @XCLEdu – at Central Region, Singapore

I would like to find a penpal for my Grade 3 international students in Singapore. We are going to read Same, Same but Different before writing. Please send me a message! Happy to email or post. #edtech #writersworkshop @ibpyp #penpal

First day of KG1 at @XCLWA #shapingnextnow – at Central Region, Singapore

Students calculated their profits from Market Day by subtracting material costs, initial loans from parents, discounts given and interests on second loans. @ibpyp #mathchat #MathStratChat #mathscpdchat #grade4 #EYPYgems

Students listened to sounds from natural disasters in our auditorium in darkness, found photos of each disaster to figure out definitions and completed a @breakoutEDU before doing a Think, Puzzle, Explore #visualthinking strategy #EYPYgems

Students were allocated beans as currency and had to decide on how they would spend it. Great discussions about priorities, saving & family values arose. #ibpyp #hwoo @ibpyp #primary #grade4 – at Central Region, Singapore

Grade 4’s did our first Drop and Run Science Fair. Students dropped off their displays, knocked on the Grade 1 door and ran away quickly :) We’ve left QR code’s to view our live experiments which links to G1 procedural writing. Thanks G1!

Long distance #MysterySkype. We are using clues to generate evidence and guess the location of a class in Canada. Looking forward to keep our connection going this year! @padlet is a good way to share the clues and keep track of our thinking.

We did I a few mid year team building during kindness week to remind ourselves to appreciate our classmates and to #BeKind

Great idea for renewable and non renewable energy! – at Central Region, Singapore

Procedural writing: We followed a set of instructions to play piggy in the middle. Ss realised that the game could be altered in many ways if the instructions aren’t detailed & don’t include verbs, adverbs or adverbial phrases. #proceduralwriting #WritingCommunity #WritersCafe

Lion dance at the end of the school day. Getting ready for #ChineseNewYear #CNY

My class would love to do another Mystery Skype soon from Singapore. If you’re in Asia or Australia, please let me know! #mysteryskype @SkypeClassroom #edtechchat – at Central Region, Singapore
