I just got my schedule for teaching in public school after 9 years at international PYP schools and I’m in a panic. Will there be flexibility for play, inquiry, community building? Any advice or words of comfort from teachers who made a similar transition?

Today I took my class outside to play tag (then they asked to play duck duck goose which for G5 was an interesting choice) & it makes me remember the power of #play and how it helps to build community. We need to do it more often! #FIS
Grade 3 camp. The value can’t be underestimated. Students shine. They build relationships, independence, and connect with nature. Thinking how I can bring similar experiences to whatever school I go to next. (These pictures do not do camp justice.)
I can’t recommend this book enough.

One day my first or second year of teaching, I decided that I was just going to let kids be kids. Nothing has revolutionized my teaching more than this. What’s been that one, game-changing realization for you?

In addition to online learning provocations we are sending to students due to coronavirus school closings, we are also sending personal videos. Today Grade 3 decided to get creative. #ISHCMCib @wecanbeawesome @JessicaMcColly @Johnathan_JRP @ashleybmoreno @Korl101Karl
