1E scientists are tuning into a new unit #HowTheWorldWorks ! They began inquiring into the unit by experiments and virtual meeting with a scientist from Australia! 🧐🧑🏻‍🔬👨🏼‍🔬@katielaoshi #pyp #ib #inquirybasedlearning

@Intl_Chadwick 1E Ss of @katielaoshi @HannaBaenana inspired by @kjinquiry practices #release, #play, #connect learning is fun!

The power of play, noticing and release- it started with some provocation suggestions from @kjinquiry and it evolved into a learning journey of belonging in a community, working and playing together! #creativity #studentagency #community @HannaBaenana @pamcee101

@JemimaKhalli @ISHCMC_life wow congratulations! 👏🏻

Really happy to say I’m heading into a new role as Personal Project Coordinator at @ISHCMC_life. Looking forward to learning and growing with the our team and our students!

Today @innovative_inq introduced a fantastic tool,#beebot, to our 1E mathematicians! We solved addition and subtraction word problems using mathematician’s strategies: count on/back! What a great integration of math and tech ❤️🐝 #pypchat #G1math @katielaoshi

@levi_allison42 @Mrs_Gilchrist @AjarnCara @MsClare_D I have tried nudging a student today on how he can add some Korean words to empower his mother tongue! #translanguaging in g1!

Honoring other languages allow for students to share learning on a more rich and deeper level. Giving ss room to access all skills in all languages. #just4you #PYPchat @Mrs_Gilchrist

Today 1E inquirers visited the school’s inquiry garden and found a few persimmons! They started becoming problem solvers and inquirers to get persimmons by shaking the tree, using a branch, and cooperating as a group. #inquiry #pypchat @katielaoshi @pamcee101 @Intl_Chadwick

I told our Ss that our cleaners are having a hard time cleaning after school because their tubs are not organized. So how can we help our cleaners? Everyone started cleaning up, then they all agreed to write thank you notes to show their appreciation! #empathy #caring #compassion

@innovative_inq @HannaBaenana @ninadelcarmen98 @pamcee101 @ms_suepark @MelissaFleck8 let’s try it soon 😊

@HannaBaenana @ninadelcarmen98 @katielaoshi @pamcee101 @ms_suepark @MelissaFleck8 we found the Beebots! 😉

Today 1E friends guessed the number of seeds in the pumpkin and scooped them as a group 🎃We can’t wait to find out the actual number of seeds tomorrow! 👻 #halloweenmathactivity @pamcee101 @MelissaFleck8 @katielaoshi @Intl_Chadwick

Split screen is making a comeback in our class! #mathematicians #teamwork @HannaBaenana @pamcee101 @MelissaFleck8 #collaboration #fun #prehalloween @kjinquiry

Halloween 🎃 👻 rocks 🪨 #nopunintended😂 #creativityeveryday #play #rockgarden @HannaBaenana

Trying something new this week. Students signed up for a small group lesson in Writer’s Workshop. They were so excited to choose what they wanted to focus on this week. #ParksideDreamTeam #1LISD

G1 learners use a tool to decide how they’re doing as “skip counters.”👌#ChadwickSlowChat #EvidencingLearning #assessmentcapable @innovative_inq

@Sean4d @Intl_Chadwick @wakelet @wpaetzold @julesptaylor @bobbyfagogenis @levi_allison42 @CIDolphins @FrederickHill6 @diskon4no @innovative_inq because you and Colin were very competitive! lol 😂

@Sean4d @Intl_Chadwick @wakelet @wpaetzold @julesptaylor @bobbyfagogenis @levi_allison42 @CIDolphins @FrederickHill6 @diskon4no @innovative_inq Do you remember how our team won? 🥇 hahaha 🤣

When you can't do the @Intl_Chadwick New Hire #AmazingRace throughout Songdo, you improvise & run it on campus. Enter @wakelet to collect all of the fun for each team! A HUGE Head to Head competition (each team is named after the Heads of School of CI)! #CIROKs #WWMD

Feel very privileged working with these amazing PK-G5 leads @Intl_Chadwick These folks lead by example incredibly well. #Leadership #resilience

Readers have jobs to do. @KathyCollins15 we tried this out this week and Ss absolutely loved it! They even came up with a their own job! #writers #1Eauthors @pamcee101

Our Ss asked, “Why can’t we hug each other?” We talked all about the 3W’s, Covid-19 protocols and thought of ways we can show how we care and appreciate each other amidst this pandemic. Our 1E ❤️Wall #love #caring #sweet #1E @Intl_Chadwick

@VargeLe i miss you too! Let’s catch up soon when this is all over. It was indeed an extraordinary year! Take care and stay safe ❤️

@katielaoshi YES— It was so fun running into you by chance in Bali! The year since has been the fastest and somehow longest ever 😊 Miss you

Truth: I’m finding it sometimes (often!) hard to disconnect from school and the to do list, even during summer. I am learning that the ocean really helps to focus, recharge & quiet the ‘monkey mind,’ even if just for a few minutes. #leadership #mindfulness #MindfulMonday 🌊
