WILF, WALT & TIB... friends that help us INQUIRE

Hey kids, 

Besides starting our unit with What I Know and then setting goals or identifing points of interest by stating What I want to know, we must try to include the following friends along our learning journey!! 

 Please take a look!  

How do you think we could include WALT, WILF and TIB in our activities.

Walt, Wilf and Tib are short names or nicknames in English.

We will have a contest in junior school to create the 3 characters. Get thinking, get creative.

You will earn House POINTS for participating and the chosen drawing will win more!!!

You can earn  for sharing your ideas!

What is AGENCY????

Hey kids,
 I just recieved an excellent question from our Blog comment section!!
      
   ¨What is Agency?¨

For a long time in PYP we have been identifying ourselves as inquirers, people who always ask questions and show great personal interest in knowing more , even if the teacher or mom & dad do not ask!!! 

However in  recent years the PYP has slightly improved after considering that YOU, the learners have so much more power and ability to accomplish change in this world besides just being knowledgable. 
Be informed, be thinkers but also feel impowered to take action.

Our job as teachers is to encourage you to believe and do, just that!! 
1. You have a powerful voice! (You should be heard!)
2. You have a choice! (You will learn and make the best choices, leaving the most positive impact.)
3. Ownership!! (Responsibility for your words, work and action!)

You are super-agents of your own future!!

 After reviewing this, let´s take a few mintues in class to discuss AGENCY!

Thanks to a good communicator for asking a great question!!

PYP REVIEW of KEY CONCEPTS

Hey kids,
 This is a PYP reference diagram for those of you that are new or for those of you that have forgotten over summer. 

Our goal as IB students is to always learn more, in a very broad yet practical way! We must know about what´s happening here at home and all around the world!

Here are some questions to help guide your inquiry!
