Shoutout to the Gr. 3s for their excellent work on their STP research projects. After weeks of research, note taking, writing, poster making and practicing, they presented to their school community today #ibpyp

Thank you to Councillor Herman Mah who visited the Gr. 3s today to discuss community decision-making for our Unit of Inquiry. As one student put it, "Maybe one day I can be part of council and help my community." @NVSD44 @NVanDistrict

First Forest Friday was a success! Students visited various outdoor learning stations focused around the Harvest Moon happening this Monday evening. Shoutout to my coworker @alexandra__lamb for organizing this for our classes @NVSD44 #placebasedlearning #outdooreducation #inquiry

When students come back from a weekend of camping excited to share how they used the mapping skills they’ve been learning about in school in real life #transfer #action #ibpyp “I looked at the map and took my family to Coudre Point which was South from our campsite”

Grade 2 students release their butterflies today after observing their metamorphosis over the past two weeks during their STP U of I #ibpyp #inquiry

Spent the morning looking at fossils and how they are connected to our HTWW U of I. Lots of great thinking and discussion happening @NVSD44 Shoutout to the wonderful family who lent us their fossils! #IBPYP

Shoutout to the amazing student who made this special order wood design for my classroom entryway. “It’s all white so it will go with your room colours. I know you like things to match!” Guess my students know me well! ❤️

Loving this code of conduct sign that a Gr 6 student made for my classroom. This was a product this student created for their Dragon’s Den project connected to their U of I #ibpyp

Grade 6 team trying out the Peeling the Fruit thinking routine! #makingthinkingvisible #ibpyp

Grade 2 students trying out the Making Meaning thinking routine today for their STP U of I looking at water as a finite resource. #thinkingskills #ibpyp @ProjectZeroHGSE

Gr. 4 teachers support student agency through choice of presentation platform for STP projects. Animations, PowerPoints, posters & even letters to the UN! Great work happening @NVSD44 #IBPYP #studentagency

Tried out the Making Meaning Thinking Routine for the 1st time with my Gr. 3s today & everyone loved it! Looking forward to trying it again for our next U of I! #makingthinkingvisible @ProjectZeroHGSE @NVSD44

Loving working collaboratively with my team on our Thinking Routines through our course with @ProjectZeroHGSE & @hgse

Loving this inquiry in Grade 2! #ibpyp

Had a great day discussing Making Thinking Visible as a collaborative group with @ProjectZeroHGSE & @hgse Facilitative questioning was the focus of our conversation today. How do the questions you ask help unlock students' thinking? #makingthinkingvisible

Grade 3 students break down the skills they will be working on with their WWAIPAT Reader’s Theatre and create a student friendly rubric for them to reflect on over the next few weeks. #ibpyp

Thinking about the cultural force of "expectations". Do we set an agenda with a value *FOR thinking* over completion *OF work*? #ccotonline #CreatingCulturesOfThinking @ProjectZeroHGSE pz.harvard.edu/projects/cultu…

Grade 3 students focus on the concept of connection as they link their research topics together in an ecosystem. “Since salmon have the most connections does that mean they are a keystone species?!” Great thinking happening @NVSD44

Whole Capilano school community: “Let’s wear 49ers colours for @dwbeveridge “ Me:

Great action by Capilano students!
