Incredible work by 2 exhibition groups working on looking at the gender pay gap. We had a chance to zoom with NJ/NY Gotham FC Imani Dorsey who has been heavily involved with that battle- the group learned so much and it was an amazing experience!

How We Organize Ourselves! ⁦Ms Noble Rm205⁩ ⁦Mount Daniel School⁩ #fccps

Primary sources from the Civil War are helping us connect to our Central Idea (Standing up for our beliefs and values may cause conflict) to our unit of Inquiry: Who We Are!

Wrapping up our inquiry unit with thank you postcards to our changemakers that made a difference in America, on to the next unit's provocation on "how we organize ourselves" and had a great time with our mystery reader this week! 📭✉📚

I loved watching months of exhibition work being presented in Torey Fay class today! The students were motivated, knowledgeable, and passionate about their topics. Great work! #exhibition #pyp Oak Street Elementary Falls Church City Public Schools

So proud my exhibition group presenting about equal pay between men and women. They worked so hard and were so motivated on this incredibly important topic! These are true “Change Agents”Oak Street Elementary Falls Church City Public Schools Jennifer Santiago, PhD

Today is a dress rehearsal for tomorrow's Exhibition Community Showcase. We're providing feedback to each other so final tweaks can be made before "The Big Show." Please support our fifth graders Thurs. night at OSES from 5-6. I guarantee you'll learn something new! Oak Street Elementary

Individually unique but together complete ❤️ loving these ME posters that come together to form a WE! Our current central idea is “respecting differences leads to understanding” and this has been such a great way to get to know one another #teamfccps

WWPT provocation. What do you notice? What do you wonder? Oak Street Elementary Falls Church City Public Schools

Reflecting on our Sharing the planner unit and connecting to the central idea: geographic resources support living things. Using our anchor charts to review. “Wow, we really learned a lot of stuff” 4th grade quote! #PYP

Today we started “How We Organize Ourselves” by completing a Frayer model on key words from our central Idea “Human systems and communities evolve.”

Thank you Nicole Guimaraes for sharing your learning from your IB Music & Inquiry workshop with the MD Encore team!

We kicked off our next PYP unit today, How we organize ourselves! Room 207 had to decide on what items they needed in order to survive for 5 days in a certain location! We had many conversations about what they want and need! Mount Daniel School #fccps

Peter Noonan Oak Street Elementary IB in FCCPS Falls Church City Public Schools Thank you Peter Noonan for taking the time to speak with my students yesterday! It was such a great experience!

Resources affect civilizations: in groups, students got a random bag of specific materials and 12 inches of tape. They had to build a structure that could withstand wind (think The Three Little Pigs.) Like in Ancient Mali, they learned that trading was vital. #teamffcps

I'm so excited for this opportunity!
