Sharing our published narrative writing and giving peer feedback @GESatKAUST

A great week @GESatKAUST working with the G3 team. Introducing our new VR from @redboxvr to explore habitats and environments and complete a thinking routine. #vr #edtech #pyp #ib

Our outstanding Pedagogical Coordinators for literacy, @_mrsrees and @clmcewen, leading our lower elementary teachers through the launch of #UFLi. We’re excited for the impact this initiative will have on the foundational skills of our readers @GESatKAUST #reading #skywriting

Partnering with KAUST Smart to bring real life #sustainable #autonomousvehicles solutions to grade 5 students and their #PYPx inquiries. Fortunate to learn from experts in our own incredible community #kaust @GESatKAUST @smagdy82

The @KAUSTSchool #worldlanguages teachers are getting ready for @actfl #APPL #OPI workshops with Ms Bahia Abboudy. Exciting times!

C is for collaboration, communication, compromise and creating. Collaboration includes communication and compromise… can you partner with another artist and negotiate combining to create something even better? @GESatKAUST

Partnering with parents - unpacking zones of regulation as a framework to support emotional literacy and self-regulation at home and at school. Led by our wonderful GES counselling team @GESatKAUST #EmotionalIntelligence

Loved introducing these to ⁦@GESatKAUST⁩ Ss this week. They cannot wait for session 2! #spheroedu #sphero #edtech #technology #coding #robotics

Creating art with moving vehicles when exploring and understanding @littleBits in #STEM @GESatKAUST

At @GESatKAUST we have been thinking about the language we use in math. Think about how you teach math or have been taught math. What words do you find challenge you, what might you need to change and what words have expired? #MathPact #Math #PYP #IB

What an enriching weekend we spent with our @KAUSTSchool KG & GES Arabic Acquisition team and fellow language educators at #ETI23 @nesachat. Another step forward in building our collective efficacy through planning for language proficiency. Thank you @psandrock & @actfl

Observing the physical characteristics (form) of living things on live cams in our G4 common space. #pyp #pypscience #observation #description #adjectives #form #function @GESatKAUST

Great seeing what students can produce during the G3-5 Science Fair. Topics included “what clothing slows you down when swimming?” to “what is the influence of weight on car design”? Ss could hypothesize, determine variables, & find quantifiable ways of testing. @GESatKAUST

Ending the day with the launch of our new edible school garden 🪴 Bringing sustainability, plant sciences and farm-to-table education to our students #Sustainability #pyp @GESatKAUST #WEP2023

GES students in G3-5 self-initiated science fair! Students opted into participating, selected own topics and managed their own learning #agency #Science @GESatKAUST

Amazing to have football superstar @didierdrogba visit @GESatKAUST today. Kids simply elated and filled with joy. Thank you for your time and service Didier.

Our last learning lab with @MikeFlynn55, working with a grade near and dear to his heart, G2. Students were tasked with being accountable for each other's thinking. What are the ways you hold students accountable for their buddies thinking? @GESatKAUST #buildingthinkingclassrooms

G3 exploring how to categorize hexagons based on properties of shape, using randomized grouping and vertical surfaces to help elevate thinking? @MikeFlynn55 @GESatKAUST #buildingthinkingclassrooms
