Grade 4G students using their visual thinking strategy "Chalk Talk" to explore the meaning of Success and Failure. Fantastic to see how engaged they are in #WWA already. Thank you @RonRitchhart for this wonderful exercise! #GoISNS

Students in 4G keeping track of their progress over the weekend towards reaching their goals. The amount of effort being shown to make sure they're successful is just AWESOME! Goals include: drawing self-portraits, learning Japanese, typing quicker... #GoISNS #makingithappen

Students attempting to solve many different brain teasers. As evident by some of the pictures and comments, these provocations are producing a lot of frustration. Another fantastic activity for #WWA to see who will give up and who will persevere! #GoISNS #impossibleisnothing

Taking a little break from learning. Grade 1 and 2 students teaching John Bursey and I how to do Moana Yoga #lifelonglearners #GoISNS Ashley Simpson thanks for letting us "be taught" today! #teamcohesionisstrong

This is awesome! Definitely something to always value! Students matter #alwayslearning #KindnessMatters

Using a fantastic math brain teaser introduced by John Bursey to start the day. If each letter in alphabetical order represents a number from 1-26, which important #IB-education related word equals exactly 100%? Interesting to see what some of these kiddos came up with... #GoISNS

4G's perfect end to the week: some hockey talk about success and failure by @JasenAwalt_PYP, programming with M5Stack, and then delicious, chocolate and mango cake to wrap it up. Safe to say that Friday is full of energetic, young kiddos! #GoISNS

Students in 4G exploring different types of Action, as well as diamond ranking them by importance. Fantastic to hear reasons as to why one type of Action is more important than another. Lesson of the day: all Action is important and should be valued #GoISNS

Really awesome provocation for HWEO! Thanks to International School of Nanshan Shenzhen (ISNS)‘s G4 Art Team. Some fantastic art to admire and get the kids warmed up for the next UOI. Time to see what the kids can take away from this... #GoISNS

Completed our Artifact Gallery Walk today. Some really awesome artifacts that students brought in - artifacts that represented natural beauty and the natural world to them. Thanks to John Bursey for some pre-lesson advice to discuss what makes something beautiful to us. #GoISNS

Exploring different types of poetry, while having fun with the arts. Blow-painting and writing haikus. What an awesome activity to watch students working on. Now it's time to explore other types of poetry and get the final pieces up on the Great Wall of Poetry #GoISNS

Students exploring different 3D shapes. Looking into faces, edges and vertices. Some very fascinated faces by the names of some 3D shapes #GoISNS

In groups, students each received a packet of pictures representing different types of crises and then diamond ranked them by significance. It's great to see that they immediately sorted these pictures into personal, local and global impacts. You guys rock! #GoISNS

Hands down one of the coolest things I've ever been apart of. Thanks so much to artist Andy Cook for his incredible work, Jennifer Nicklas for organising it, but most important a huuuge hoorah for the students of Grade 4! What a great end to the unit. Simply awesome! #GoISNS #GoG4

"You will never reach higher ground if you are always pushing others down" - Jeffrey Benjamin #GoISNS #GoG4

3 days of madness with these kids. Building relationships with other students they don't normally work with, building tents, making soap and much more. Exhausted to say the least #GoISNS #GoG4

Casual cupcakes and cake tacos on a Wednesday. Huge thanks to Fan. C for bringing these delights in. Safe to say, reading will be fun today! #GoISNS #GoG4

Students begin their writing adventure by decorating their writer's notebooks. A neat way for students to show their interests and make their book unique. Some very creative little minds! #GoISNS #IB

A new set of students attempting to solve our fantastic brain teasers. We saw some success, but also many frustrated faces, as well as comments. A great start to our "Who We Are" unit to see who will give up and who will persevere! #GoISNS

Students coding some Minecraft and Flappy Bird. #GoISNS #HourofCode2019 #isnscodes
