We start our morning with a roll and share activity with partners! I listened as Ss shared what makes them happy, their aspirations, adjectives that describe themselves to each other. Everyday is an opportunity to learn about others’ perspectives and communicate your own!

The students have a great time during our “Snack & Chats!” Today, the focus was a “See, Think and Wonder” on some interesting pictures! The students eat and chat when the music is on and when it stops, it’s time to work together! #snack&chats #IB #studentagency

Learning about CT’s state insect during recess today! Photo cred goes to @MrParkTeach #hellomrmantis! #spslearns

We have a kind of fish expert here who is teaching us how to care for and feed our new guppies. He and his dad have hundreds of beautiful fish at home. Thanks, Buddy! 🐟🐠🐡⁦Strawberry Hill, an Extension of RIS⁩ #allhandsondeck

Now this was an original 💡 idea! This student’s family made up a quick game about her favorite things and we moved to corners of the room to coincide with our guesses about her to see who wins. High fives for our winners! ⁦Strawberry Hill, an Extension of RIS⁩
