We may not be together in one place...but we are still connected...and we still know how to have some fun! @isdedu @ibpyp #distancelearning2020 #ibpyp #WeAreISD #homelearning

Thanks for publishing the story of our wonderful parents giving their best during COVID-19 🙏

So proud of my team @ISDFifthGrade for #appsmashing our way to our first ever #DigitalExhibition! Day 1 is off to a smashing start! #ISDstrong @isdedu @ibpyp

Just walked ten 5th graders through setting up a blog using Google Meets and Blogger. I’m still reeling, but one student posted about the experience, “THAT WAS THE BEST”, so I guess it was ok. Part 2 on Thursday: personalizing your blog. Lord help me.

There aren’t enough thank yous in the world for ⁦⁦@hailmaryfdgrace⁩. Up at 6am to teach our students (in Germany via video chat) how to bake classic American Scones. Talk about an unforgettable experience! @ISDFifthGrade @isdedu #baking #futurechefs #grateful

We are using @flipgrid for daily check-ins with our students. Over a MONTH worth of engagement between Ts and Ss. We love that we still get to interact “face to face”, keeping our #connections strong. #SEL @ISDFifthGrade @isdedu #ISDstrong

Using @Flipgrid to try out the toilet paper challenge. As humans we get so much #happiness from connecting with others, so we’re trying this out to connect as a class! #isdstrong @ISDFifthGrade @isdedu #becreative #elearning #SEL

I introduced my 5th graders to number talks yesterday with @WODBMath. The conversations and reasoning were so great! Ss were so engaged and sustained their conversations. I was really impressed considering they had never done one before. @ISDFifthGrade @isdedu

Ss reflected on our community agreements and chose words that represented each statement. #reflecting on how we work together to build a healthy and happy community. #isd #G5

Ss wanted help resolving conflicts. We agreed as a G5 community to follow these steps while we work on practicing conflict resolution in small groups. I love that they decided what actions and language to use, and that we can have consistency across the grade. #isd #agency

Twitter help! My Ss are looking for primary sources: experts who can help them learn about #CO2, #overfishing, #fashion, #energy, #oceanplastics and #photosynthesis. Can you help? Or do you know someone who can? Thanks! @MartineBotany @Doctor_Harves @AnnHGarland @mrkempnz

The @isdedu 3rd graders put on an amazing Christmas market that focused on sustainability. They made responsible choices to limit their single use plastic waste throughout the process! #sustainable #christmas #WeAreISD #scrunchies

We especially loved the scrunchies and popcorn!!! ☃️🎄

Thanks @isdedu third graders for a beautiful, #sustainable Christmas market. So impressed with what Ss were able put together! #WeAreISD #IBPYP #howweorganizeourselves

So proud of my team and the amazing provocation the Ss just experienced!! All of our hard work really paid off! @ISDFifthGrade #teamwork @ibpyp #teacherhigh

Such a great provocation! Teams of Ss worked as families to make a number of choices while factoring in the needs of their family. Love the unexpected discussions! “People hate babies on planes and at the cinema...so can’t do that!” #IBPYP #WeAreISD #sharingtheplanet

Fun couple days in @ISDFifthGrade as students shared their arcade games and how they used ingenuity to solve problems with the @isdedu community! #howtheworldworks #IBPYP #WeAreISD

Grade 5 held a fun fair for younger ISD students & g5 parents. It was the culmination of a unit on simple machines. They used knowledge of levers, inclined planes, gears, pulleys & gears & axles to create their games. The games were innovative, colourful & fun! #WeAreISD @ibpyp

That feeling of accomplishment when your work is enjoyed by others. 5th Grade Cardboard Arcade #WeAreISD
