So proud of my brother in law taking the plunge and training hard to raise funds for Cancer Care Manitoba (our home province) and/or Alberta Cancer Foundation. Hope you might consider sponsoring his swim. jonnysbigswim.com

Inspired by the work of Yinka Shonibare, G5 students explored themes of identity and migration through the arts, creating their own vibrant, African-inspired fabric patterns to create book covers. @isblearning.bsky.social #ibpyp #inquirylearning #arts www.skirball.org/museum/ameri...

Hey there, PYP IB teachers! Please join us for our inaugural #PYPchat on February 12!

Looking forward to getting back into the swing of #pypchat hope @isblearning.bsky.social can join the conversation. It’s a great learning opportunity.

Gr 3 students want to explore forces & motion by inquiring into our local community. They pitched field trip ideas to the principal with thoughtful, persuasive arguments. Proud of their action, initial research and communication! #ibpyp @isblearning.bsky.social

Our Kindergarten students had so much fun exploring changes to properties of materials and measurement. They were very happy bakers (and tasters!) #ibpyp #inquiry #ISBLearning @isblearning.bsky.social

I agree! It’s a bit like Teachers Teaching Teachers. I’d like to learn more.

“Nothing without joy” - look forward to reading this

Apologies - too caught up in the moment to remember to take pics, but I do have an image of our ‘gallery’. I also received positive feedback from several members of staff - thank you @edutopia.bsky.social for the inspiration.

Thanks for the invitation @mscake.bsky.social

Gr2 has a year long unit to inquire into the diverse ways we celebrate (and the reasons why) in our community and across the world. Today a parent came in to share how Santa Lucia is celebrated in their home country. @isblearning.bsky.social #ibpyp #EduSky

Love the way G1 makes their learning visible as they explore systems in our community. They have used signs & symbols to improve the systems in our school. Thank you @tinateacher.bsky.social! @isblearning.bsky.social #ibpyp #EduSky

Agreed!

Well said @larryferlazzo.bsky.social no change is sustainable without community, and there is no community without relationship.

This week's newsletter is now available to download from the 'news' section of the ISB Website. Have a wonderful weekend!

This is timely! I’m planning a meeting for Monday and this is just what we’re doing. Thank you - I’m updating the plan.

Gr3 designed & created board games to share what they’ve learned about the importance of biodiversity in ecosystems. Now playing with our Gr1 class and will reflect on their game design. @isblearning.bsky.social #EduSky #IBpyp #design

Thanks for sharing - look forward to the conversations #playmatters #edusky

Congratulations to the #ISBMedia as well. I’ve been so impressed with their dedication, skills and enthusiasm. I love that the students are responsible for documenting the happenings at @isblearning.bsky.social

Creating a collaborative culture takes intention - thanks for sharing @smgaillard.bsky.social #Edusky

I know! Feels like the early days of Twitter. :-)

The Power of Play: International Conversations Have you ever wondered what play looks like in different countries and settings? 4-Week Online Course for Early Years Educators of 3 to 8-year-olds.

I would highly recommend the Power of Play course with Jo Fahey to better understand the need for play based pedagogy one the early years (and beyond). professionallearninginternational.com/power-of-play

Thanks for sharing this, @edtechevans.bsky.social

Love the new TT descriptors- sorry I wasn’t able to make this webinar.

Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

I must add this to my reading list. Looking forward to it!
