What does math groupwork look and sound like? A great math group learning task from Sara VanDerWerf that helps students understand group learning from different perspectives. My students loved learning with others through this activity! #CAinspires #CAgrade4 #groupwork #welovemath

We made huge mess in class! My students learnt about making observations and found out some properties of the substances used to make oobleck. They are so excited about our new unit of inquiry! #CAinspires #funwithscience #pyp

Students problem solving issues they notice around school and categorizing the issues to make it more manageable to address. The thoughts and ideas of our students are respected and shared. #CAinspires #CAgrade4 #makingthinkingvisible #problemsolvers

Students teaching students! Each pair had a realistic fiction story arc expert who helped teach them about the details needed to complete their story arc well. Wonderful seeing some reluctant writers using the skills learnt from their peers. #CAinspires #studentsasteachers

When math and science combine. The students had fun practicing their measuring, estimating, and recording skills in order to prepare for their science experiment where accurate measurements are important. #CAinspires #measuringskills #pypgrade4 #welovemath #welovescience

Does a substance change weight when a change in the state of matter takes place? We had the chance to explore this question, challenge our thinking, and test our hypotheses. #CAinspires #changesinstatesofmatter #grade4sciencelearning

Solid + Liquid = Gas? But why? Learning about changes in states of matter has been a fun and messy experience. Documenting the process has helped students review the observations they made. #CAinspires #changesinstatesofmatter #science

Using visible thinking routines like "Chalk Talk" has helped the students generate a number of ideas/solutions to problems students witnessed in the playground. The next step is helping others learn about the multiple ways to solve problems. #CAinspires #makingthinkingvisible

A big thank you to our middle and high school science department for helping us learn more about changes in the state of matter and understand the importance of observations. #CAinspires #observingscience #CAgrade4

Great view of the moon tonight! The blood moon has different meanings for different cultures, but the colours are amazing. #CAinspires #BloodMoon

So proud of my 4th grade students challenging themselves, taking risks, and overcoming their fears! #CAinspires #CAgrade4 #experientiallearning #outdooreducation

Students teaching students about being responsible consumers. Love watching my students choose the way they want to share their learning with others. #responsibleconsumers #CAinspires #studentsteachingstudents #pyp #tradeandeconomics

Enjoying our holiday break with family in the Cook Islands! Absolute paradise this time of year!

Teaching students about topography maps via a more hands-on experience gave my more kinesthetic learners a chance to deepen their understanding. It's even better when students choose a country close to my heart! #experientiallearning #CAinspires #mappingskills #pyp

#spiritualdetox in Koyasan after long week ending in my students doing so well in their 3 way conferences. #Wellbeing #koyasan

Growing plants in class from rotten fruits or spores over time has helped students learn more about what is required to take care of plants than most books or websites could teach. #CAinspires #experientiallearning #plants #greenthumb

One of the most wholesome experiences was seeing the students share/ teach something about their culture. There were arts, crafts, language and dance lessons, storytelling, traditional games, history lessons, etc. #CAinspires #culturaldiversity #studentsteachingstudents #pyp

Has been a wonderful 7 years at Canadian Academy and in the amazing country that is Japan! Will miss this lovely community. On to my next exciting adventure at WAB. Can't wait!! #schoolsoutforsummer #missmystudents

Loved the experience of helping my G5 students navigate their learning journey through the PYP exhibition. #pypx #WAB #learningjourney wab-edu.cn/connect/wabnew…
