First off I will be out of town for the next five school days for a family matter so I wanted to give you all some highlights before I head out. This week we had an important visit from some fine folks at the IB. They came to see our lesson and asked a few questions to the students and teachers. Overall I think it went well and there was a lot of positive feedback.
Monday we had a visit from the IB team. They came to observe the center time we did based around each line of inquiry. Students choose a famous work of art that inspired them and tried to recreate it or make something similar, they took various pictures and decided if they were or were not art (and why), and at our final center teams created something using LEGO blocks or clay, the following teams could only add to the original creation.
We were not able to finish our inspired drawings on Monday so we took some time to finish them today.
Staying active is an important part of school and learning. Monday we do not have any park or gym time so we do yoga to finish out the day. This time we mixed it up with a faster game-based yoga time. The students really enjoyed the faster paced and competitive aspects of it. Today we did get to go out to the park. Lately we have been warming up each park visit with a few laps around the center circle and a running race.
